Shortly after he came it was refin-
ished in slate blue. Right away the
stenographers began to kick about be-
ing cold. 1t was found that the office
had to be kept three to five degree;
warmer or nobody felt comfortable.
Offices finished in yellow always
have a CHEEKY and business-like look.
You rarely see interiors finished in
red. This iSbecause we become tired
of red quicker than any other color.
Red makes US nervous and even irri-
table.
The effect colors have upon US has
been studied by many scientists. A
French scientist studied the muscular
effect.
He found that light blue WIS the
least stimulating, and red the most.
Green was moderately stimulating
and yellow somewhat more So
Orange was almost as stimulating as
red. This undoubtedly is the reason
that red is exciting. 1t stimulates
muscular activity.
Effect of color on the feelings has
large place in literature and drama
On the stage, blue always is used
for moonlight, and conveys 2lch an
impression to the spectator. Red and
orange give the impression of warm
ruddy dawn.
In literature, probably the most
striking use of color is in Poe's

sociations it on a cheerful aspect. 1t

Red, the color of blood, is exciting
and stimulating. To be surrounded
by it tends to make one hasty and ex-
citable.
Black is the color of night and
mourning. 1t is always depressing
color. 1t makes US feel gloomy.
Purple gives something of the i'm
preston of black, but at times con-
veys the idea cf elegance. This is
probably due to its long association
with royalty.

Certain colors please US. They are
good colors with which to surround
ourselves. Others neither please nor
displease; they are not so good. Some
eolors are actively displeasing; we
should avoid them if possible.
The reason for our feelings about
certain colors is found in nature.
Green, the color of all foliage and
herbage, is naturally the most rest
full of all.
Blue, the color of the sky and of the
sea, is conducive tc {: serious mood,
and often gives the impression of
coldness.
