Yellow Mischief and revenge. Iilue riacldlty. Green Happlnesa. Black Misery and evU. Wbltti Activity. Red excites, generally to no god pur pose. It predlsposea men to crime and violent effort, though In fhe latter ca.e Its Influence la often good, as well as bad. It tends to Induce melancbotv lu those who are Influenced by It wltbout being able to work off the excitement it causes. . Yellow may be described as a malignant color, bringing out the bad qualities. It tends to noisiness and vulgarity, to vul gar excitements and pleasures, and also to revenge and Jealousy. Blue, on ths other band. Is a pesceful color. It promotes a feeling of placid happiness, a desire aot t be disturbed, snd sn antipathy to argu ment cr contest Oreeo promotes joy."
