taste in selection, they are seldom used without some slight modification. They mix well with the yellows, one particularly -- yellow for mixing -- forming and especially agreeable line of warm tints. With yellow for mixing, apple green, chrome green, emerald stone green , brown green and back green No. 7, and their various combinations, any desirable scale of greens may be obtained, from the young and tender shades of the early shoots of spring, through the full, brilliant, vivid tones of summer foliage, into the successive shades of olives and glowing russets of autumn, to the low and mellow tones of the sombre evergreens of winter.
Brown is used to tone vivid greens to olive ; carmine or ruby purple, applied in a very think wash over the green, will also reduce the color considerably. Violet of iron is also very useful used in conjunction with greens, giving a degree of warmth frequently required in floral designs. If the green be too yellow, a thin wash of blue, or one of the blue greens, may rectify it. If too blue, a wash of yellow brown or chestnut brown will give it the necessary warmth and richness.
Brown green, an invaluable color as it comes from the tube, is seldom qualified by any other, and is more frequently used pure than other wise.
As a general thing, the greens are very pliable
