[785.]

When blue partakes in some degree of the plus side, the effect is not disagreeable. Sea-green is rather a pleasing colour.


RED-BLUE.

[786.]

We found yellow very soon tending to the intense state, and we observe the same progression in blue.

[787.]

Blue deepens very mildly into red, and thus acquires a somewhat active character, although it is on the passive side. Its exciting power is, however, of a very different kind from that of the red-yellow. It may be said to disturb rather than enliven.

[788.]

As augmentation itself is not to be arrested, so we feel an inclination to follow the progress of the colour, not, however, as in the case of the red-yellow, to see it still increase in the active sense, but to find a point to rest in.
