Moreover, the complexity of weavecombinations is proportionate to the variety of weavesassociated, and the intricacy of the elementary schemes ofintertexture employed, and it will be noticed that, as I COMPOUND COLOURINGS. 231 compounds are more minutely examined, their complexarrangement and fullness of detail are determined by thenumber of Simples entering into their composition, andon the character of the methods of colouring amalgamated. When constructing weave combinations, only thoseweaves are associated which fit and unite with each othercorrectly, and which yield in conjunction a texture regularin structure; and when forming compounds, those schemesof elementary colouring are only combinable which producea properly balanced style. Just as those weaves which areobtained from a similar b
