Diagram 12
The procedure is shown in this diagram. We see here what is meant by a Harmony of Neutralization, without changes of value. The neutralization is in the measure of one half in each case. Red Orange and Green are the only colors which exist in their maximum intensities. Their intensities are diminished to the half-point, without change of value,—from RO to RO½ in one case, and from G to G½ in the other. The other colors are reduced in their intensities proportionally. The value in each case remains unchanged.
167. Having considered the methods of getting Value-Harmony and Color-Harmony separately, I must now describe the method of getting the combination of Value-Harmony with the Harmony of Neutralization. To do this we must set the colors in positions regarding the Scale of Neutral Values, which will indicate their several values, and in each case the degree of intensity. We must then decide whether to neutralize the several tones toward Black or White, or toward some neutral value between these extremes.
Diagram 13
This illustrates the method of a neutralization toward Black in the measures of one quarter, one half, and three quarters.
Diagram 14
This illustrates the method of a neutralization toward White in the measures of one third and two thirds.
