To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And among the gifts thus claimed, this one of colour takes a high place in the convictions held by the fair. One has no wish to be ungallant, and it is easy to admit that woman has often a true feeling for colour in isolated patches and detached effects ; but when she is asked to devise a large work in orchestrated colour, it is seldom that she meets with even a half success, chiefly because it is her nature to be insistently curious in matters of separated details.
For this reason, among other...s, I have been asked to say a few words on the present subject, and I cannot do better than start with a warning. There are certain colours — popular colours, too — which ought never to be used in the decoration of rooms, simply because they disturb the harmony of others.
There is emerald green, for instance, and there are brick red and terra cotta. Again, colour-harmonies are of two kinds, either those of contrast or those of kinship. Colours that " match," as the ladies say, form allied harmonies ; but even those that are too contrastive, that do not agree, may at times be reconciled by placing between them a neutral zone or bordering of black or of gold.
