COLOUR AND CHARACTER
Hero is tho psychology of colour as analysed by Mr. Basil lonides, the ■well-known decorator, in his book on “Colour and Interior Decoration,” published by “Country Life” (quotes the “Daily News”). Colour is held to influence people and to express personality. “Blues in the deepest tones are restful, and tend to contemplation and philosophy. Green, having blue in it, and also yellow, which, is a cheerful colour, is happy, and is affected by those whose life is contented. Mauve belongs to tho weak, morbid, and discontented. Pink is apt to be cruel, as it has red rays in it, and red is essentially a cruel colour. White is held for innocence, and black is apt to fall to the lot of the vain. Purple suggests pretension, and yellow happiness.”
