. Hardware merchandising August-October 1912. Fig. 2—Showing line of trim within,which the light must be. evenly Fig. 3 — Showing Distribution of Light in Window, Shown in Fig. 2. 42 H A RDWARE AND METAL Relative Value of Colors. Scientists have made exhaustive testsas to the relative values of various colorsin reflecting light rays. Some time agoan article appeared in the AmericanArchitect showing the results of testsmade in Germany and printed in a Ger-man scientific journal, which were asfollows:— Dark blue reflects 6% per cent, of thelight falling upon it; dark green about10 per cent.; pale red a little more than16 per cent.; dark yellow 20 per cent.;pale blue 30 per cent.; pale yellow 40per cent.; pale green 46V per cent.; paleorange nearly 55 per cent.; and white 70per cent. You will note the large amount of lightwhich is reflected from white, 70 per this with the blue, 6y2 per cent.,green 10 per cent., and red about 16 percent. The foregoing table shows paleyellow as reflecting 40 per cent. Whilethis is not nearly as great as the per-centage of light reflected fro
