mples in such shades are furnished in Nos. 1, 2,and 3, Plate VI. In the first, black is the preponderatingelement, but in the third green is the prevailing hue. Withthe red browns given in ISTos. 1, 2, and 3 on Plate III., theyform perfect contrasts. The most pleasing combinationsare those in which the greenish derivatives are blended inequal quantities with the reddish browns as follows : darkgreen (No. 1, Plate VI.) with dark brown (No. 1, PlateIII.) ; mid green (No. 2, Plate VI.) with mid brown (No.2, Plate III.) ; and shaded green (No. 3, Plate VI.) withlight brown (No. 3, Plate III.).
