Yellow-green

: ON THE PRIMARY, RED.

Red breaks and diffuses with white with peculiar loveliness. It is

discordant when standing with orange only, requiring to be joined or

accompanied by their proper contrast, to resolve or harmonize the

dissonance. In landscapes, &c., abounding with hues allied to green, a

red object properly placed as regards light, shade, or distance,

conduces wonderfully to the life, beauty, harmony, and connexion of the

colouring. Red is, indeed, the chief element of beauty in floral nature,

the prime ornament of the green garb of the vegetal kingdom.
