Good CoIors for Houses.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters--why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tlnts are best to use is, therefore, rather
! haZy.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect a
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor. so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browne, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
vii! produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lcmon), cold greens Qike
grass green, etc., and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves. ire.
spective OF the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off, if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used but if one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
wellknown brand of a reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linSeed oil, the warm
tinta mentioned above will outwear the |
same material tinted with the cold colors. |
