Color Management

Color management simply means ar.
ranging colOrs by their position and
proportion so that We secure harmony.
And harmony means agreement.
Now harmony In the arrangement
of rolors is obtained, first by contrast
and, second, by analogy or likeness.
Harmony by contrast means using two
colors that have nothing at all in COM
mon. such as blue with red, yellow,
or orange: or yellow. with red, blue,
or violet; or red, with yellow, blue,
or green. As rule. II ~ safe to say
use only very little of the more brill
liant contrasting color az Il spice or
accent to cnliven the greater quantity
of the less brilliant color.
Harmony by analogy or likeness
allows broader range OF choice, al
though in many cases 1t Is not possible
TO secure the same emphatic degree OF
brilliance as we get through harmony
by contrast Harmony by analogy means
that two colors composing such harmony
contain more or less of some one cle-
ment common to both. For example,
we may have u harmony by analogy
or likeness where the colOrs yellow,
green and blue are involved. There Is
enough of common element So that
yellow and green agree, and enough in
common between green and blue 80 that
they agree.

Read Your Character
Second Analysis
By Digby Phillips

Here Is another test for your ability
10 analyze handwriting, If you care to
undertake it. To give yourself a fair
chance. cover up the last paragraph
Of this article. so that you will not
accidentally see the answer before you
have registered your own analysis.
q Assume that you nre considering n
specimen Of handwriting in which one
Of the prominent features is the manner
In which the writer starts the first
letter Of nearly all words with a little
hook like stroke. Secondly. you note
that. in n given word, there is ten
dency of the letters to decrease In size
toward the end of the word. You note,
too. that the writing has n decided for
ward slant. and that the cross stroke
of the letter "t' generally flies off that
letter to the right. Moreover, the writ
ing is rather heavily shaded. though it
does not look as though this shading
were done for effect, merely to make
it ''coppcrplate" hand. The lines are
inclined to slant upward toward the
right of the page. and the letters are
angular rather than rounded in their
formation. Now what would you gather
from that!
That initial hook is an "rt:.;ing sign
of talkativeness. The decreasing size
Of letters means that the person is lack
, ing in conscientiousness. though proba-
bly, only in small matters. The forward
slant and the right crossed 1t" show
impulsivcncss. and the shaded writing
indicates an amount Of willfulness. Th"
ascending lines indicate optimism. and
the angular writing n quick mentality.
Talkative, unreliable. impulsivc. will

people like that? Try to get specimen
Of their handwriting and sec II it does
