color sensations.

The three primary color sensation
are considered to be red, green, and

and green produced u blue; red aud
green also give yellow. But IL IL

agined that the blue and yellow

various kinds OF green. II yellow

colors. Il is tho one color which Is
not freely absorbed either by the vel.

low pigment removes the greater
part Of the blue, indigo and violet
rays; the blue pigment removes the
greater part Of the red, orange, and

escapes IL mainly green.
It Is curious to notice, too that
