A Color Located: Q Select the paint color for the background and paint the walls. Next, choose the color for your top coat. If you are working with an oil-based eggshell paint you will need to thin it (3 parts top color to 1 part mineral spirits). Choose a top coat color that is either close in tone or contrasts with your Wall color. With dry-brushing, you can cover the background color completely, so your top coat is the color you will see on your finished walls.When planning color combinations, you need to consider how bright or dark a decor should be and what range and intensity of color to use. For lively color harmony, it helps to know a few basic principles of color theory and to understand how different colors influence one another when used in interiors.
PURPLE, pur'p'l, a color located in the spectrum between crimson and violet. Poetically it is termed the royal color. The ancients attributed the discovery of purple to the Phoenicians. The story of its having been discovered by a dog, biting into a purple shellfish, and thus staining his mouth, is a well-known legend. The mollusk Purpura, found not only on the Phoenician coast but in all parts of the Mediterranean, yielded the famous Tyrian dye which was so highly prized by royalty. The Tyrian purples were of several shades, varying from blue to a dull crimson, dependent upon the particular variety of shell employed and the substances mixed with the extract. |
