Diagram 9
Suppose, instead of giving predominance to Red, as in the example above, we give predominance to Blue, taking the same range of colors.
| Wt | Wt | |
| B | B | |
| V | BV | |
| Y | Giving predominance to Blue we get: | G |
| R | V | |
| G | GB | |
| O | N | |
| Blk | Blk | |

The range of color-contrast is in this way diminished to the intervals between Green, Violet, and Neutral. The process, so far as color is concerned, is fully explained in the following diagram:—
Diagram 11
In the diagrams which I have given the predominance is in the measure of one half. That is to say, the mixtures are half and half, theoretically speaking. The theoretical result is a range of intermediate colors. The predominance is not necessarily in the measure of one half. It may be in any measure. The presence of Red or Blue in all the tones may be hardly noticeable or it may amount to a general redness or blueness in which other colors are distinguished with more or less difficulty.
166. Suppose it is the harmony of grayness, a Harmony of Neutralization, which we want. What is the procedure to follow?
