(4) Other Colour Schemes.—The entire heading, or the letters W, H, B, O, R, in burnished gold; or the whole variegated (see p. [180]). [p133]
PAGE OR COLUMN HEADING & INITIAL
Fig. [92] represents the first page of a book or chapter in two columns, beginning with a rather ornate Heading, in which the Initial is made the principal feature, and having coloured Versals and line-finishings throughout the text.
It is more difficult to get a good effect in this way than by means of a marked colour contrast (see p. [144]), or variegated colour, and gold (see Note 7).
Note (1).—The lines bounding the text would naturally be indented, or pale (not black as in the block), and ruled from head to foot of the page (see Note (2) on the next figure).
(2) The red ornamental line-finishings (see p. [205]) would be more effective if variegated.
(3) The Versals in the text are made about a line high, but are dropped below the line (p. [122]).
