q L Il 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 tints are best to use Is,
therefore, rather hazy. #
One writer on paint, In 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 Aim. 81 49,.
Thus red Is good COLOR because 1t
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays. 4
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 30 far as wear Is, concerned. In
choosing the color OF paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce
will give wide range from which t.
choose. =. *
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
FELLOWS (like lemon);, cold greens
(like grass green, etc.,, and the blues
It must be understood that no vir
tue is claimed for tints in themselves
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color, will fade, and
the paint will scale of, If adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used
but If one is careful to use the best

toned above will outwear the same
