It has been generally remarked by foreigners, and asgenerally admitted by ourselves, that the English are veryindifferent to the effect of colour for decorative or ornamentalpurposes. We take little pleasure in studying the harmoniousarrangement of colours, either in dress, furniture, or architec-ture; and when the attempt is made to compose coloureddesigns we frequently tolerate and even admire discordantor anomalous combinations. Indeed, we sometimes maintainthat bright colours not only fail to please, but are even dis-agreeable ; and advocate the use of compound hues, neutraltints, greys, and other so-called quiet colours, in prefer-ence to any combinations of the primaries, red, blue, andyellow, and other colours of the prism.
