the color that must hc used in floor
coverings. curtains and drapcri"-.
After the relation Of color to light has
been established and personal prefer
cnceS have been taken into account the
next principle is that OF graduation.
The strongest and purcst tones Of the
color are naturally and almost by tn
stinct nut at the baSc-that is, the floor
covering should carry the darkest col
or or its strongest tone.
II is not often advisable to use what
is known rs Il one color decoration that
IS combining fine entire decoration to y
single color. such plan is much like
irwin. to make a melody on one note
of the scale. The best effects in bSth
sounds and color are produced hv the
skiIIfuI variation of tones. The yrada-
tIon and combination OF even oppoSiu.
tints give the greatest satisfaction to
the eve. But, whatever the color nr col
ors uscd they must bc darkest ON the
floor. The walls will give the second
Grade i'm color and the ceiling the last
These gradationS. too, should he dis
tinct and separate enough in tone 10
be perfectly apparent. The connecting
grades may appear in furniture cover
ing and drapericS. Then the third
principle, using color in masses, means
that whatever color is used should he
given space enough to establish itself
freely. In other words, it should not
be broken into patches and ncutraiized
by divisions. Nature does not put
single red leaf on tree and then
change the color to yellow or green.
Rather the whole forest will have it's
various colors so arranged that one is
perfectly conscious OF every one Of
them. The brilliant red is in quantity
sufficient to make itself felt, vet it
does not interfere with the glow NJ
the yellow or the restfulncSs "t the
green. The general tone Of the room
may be what YOU will-green OF blue
or a division Of each but TO lie per
feet every detail in the room must he
related to one or both Of these coIors.
II this rule is diSrcgarded every piece
of furniture unrelated to the whole
becomes a spot which has no real con
nection with and puts the entire room
out OF harmony.
