degree by colors.
"It la, of course, hard to define absolute
ly tbe different effecta of varloufl colors,
but, "broadly speaking, you may tabulate
them, and ie Influence each exercises, aa
follows:
Red Eicltement and anger.
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." It has many of the
effects ot bios, with tbe additional effects
of ths red or yellow rays which help t
form green.
