Popular Blue
Subtle
Harmonizinq
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

BUILDING YOUR color
scheme upon blue calls for an
understanding of two important
points: Using one shade of blue
only, and using it with discre-
ton.
Blue is and always has been
one of the most popular colors,
and its very popularity has pro-
duced so many different shades
that their use is somewhat
tricky and complicated.
For Example
A grey-blue, for example, is
certainly first cousin TO a yell
low-blue, yet to put them in
room together is fatal. One
will spoil the other. They are
too much alike TO be contrasts.
and not enough alike TO be
harmonious.
Using one shade of blue only
Is not, however, as restricting
as IL SOUNDS. several tones OF
that shade may be combined
very effectively
For example. il you have a
modern room and are planning
blue as your basic color, begin
with a dark tone of blue for the
rug. Imagine. if you will. that
this tone is mixed for you in a
paint can.
Add white to tighten il to
cobalt blue. and you have the
tone for a chair covering Add
more white. and the ice-blue
which results will be the perfect
tone for draperies. trimmed per-
haps with an edging of the dark
blue of the rug.
Repeat this dark blue as
vigorous accent IN pictures
against cream wall. and add
dash of startling flame or more
modified coral for the sofa and
another chair.

Select Location

Go over each piece evenly two
or three times. II the work is
done out of doors. a location
should be selected where no wind
or dust will reach the object TO
be painted.

plant against school lunches is
that they taste too dry. Blend.
raisins, chopped figs or prunes
with peanut butter sometime
and see what a poular spread

Try making sandwiches of
raisin or some other fruited
bread occasionally. The fruit
flavor makes plain Filings, such
as ham or cheese taste even bet
ter than usual.
