Excerpt from Colors, What They Are and What to Expect of Them: A Series of Practical Treatises In short - colors Will be considered mainly from the practical end in view of what can be expected of them and where and why they should be used for certain situations where one might otherwise be tempted to use another of about the same tone which is utterly unsuited for the pur pose. While there are many things that each color or pigment is adapted to there are also many others for which they are not, it is purposed to plainly state these defects, if such deficiency can be called by that name. CA great deal of the mishaps of paint going wrong, fading, is caused by the ignorance of the painters who use them. It is true and beyond the possibility of denial that fully ninety-five per cent. Of the men using paint have but a very hazy notion as to what pigments are and but very few can give an intelligent reply to questions put to them concerning some of the pigments they have been using daily for years and years. There is no explanation given for this ignorance excepting that perhaps in large city' Sh'ops the mixing of paint is usually done by men especially set apart for this - but this ignorance is not altogether due to this cause as in many of the smaller shops and in country towns, there is but very little more knowledge shown by either contracting master painters or journeymen.
