it is with color. An all green room
or an all blue room or an all yellow
room would be as difficult to live with
as it would be difficult to achieve. We
| must work out color schemes that will
bring out the best in the principal
color we have chosen and give pleas
ing contrasts and harmony.
Before we work out our color
schemes for our rooms we must take
into consideration certain rules about
the predominating color we wish to
| use. We must consider first or all
our color preference, which will in
way express our personality. Ii It is
agreeable to the size of the room. Its
lighting, it's use, and the objects that
| we already have which we must use In
it, then we may say definitely,
MY living room is to be in green or
yellow or red" or what you will.
For our small rooms we must not
use too much colors known as aggres-
| sive colors, such as yellow, orange,
red for they will have the effect of
bringing the walls and objects toward
us, whereas in small rooms we will
probably greatly need to create feel.
ing of distance. If these warm colors
are our favorite colors, we can use
them as subsidiary elements in our
color schemes, allowing the cooler,
receding colors, such as greens ana
blues on our walls to give us the ef-
feet Of distance.
The lighting of our rooms and the
exposure will, of course, enter into
any decision as to the main colors.
If our rooms are to be the north, we
will want colors that suggest the alb
sent sun; if they bask in the sunlight.
we will want the cooler green's and
blues to temper the feeling OF heat.
If they are dark we will want our
walls light and suggesting sunlight,
or If they are flooded with light we will
want our walls and furniture covered
in colors that do not discolor in the
light or turn to different shades in the
shadows.
Common Sense Is Aid.
Common sense will help us deter.
mine color in reference to the use to
which we put our rooms. A soft shell
pink, delightful in a French boudotr.
will not appeal to many of us as Gov.
ering for the ordinary living room
walls. Nor will a heavy brown or a
muddy green appeal to us as just the
cheerful note in the room where we
should find our greatest comfort and
inspiration.
Most of us are apt to think of the
furnishings of our rooms as a sofa,
table, few chairs and a few lamps
with a rug and four walls, and are ac-
customed to think of each one by
itself without considering them as
parts of what we hope to make a
harmonious whole. But few of us

portunities for color masses, each one
Of which affects it's nearest neighbor.
II you will think of your room and
its contents as blocks Of color instead
Of just so many objects against four
walls you will readily discover If you
have achieved harmony or II you have
violated the rules Of color. The walls
