This is because it is a composite colour made of a union of warm and cold colours; the brown and yellow in its composition being in excess of the blue; as pink also, which is a mixture of red and white; and lavender, which is a mixture of red, white, and blue, stand as intermediate between two extremes.
Having duly considered the effect of light upon colour, we may fearlessly choose tints for every room according to personal preferences or tastes.

If we like one warm colour better than another, there is no reason why that one should not predominate in every room in the house which has a shadow exposure.

If we like a cold colour it should be used in many of the sunny rooms.
I believe we do not give enough importance to this matter of personal liking in tints.

We select our friends from sympathy.

As a rule, we do not philosophise much about it, although we may recognise certain principles in our liking; it is those to whom our hearts naturally open that we invite in and have joy in their companionship, and we might surely follow our likings in the matter of colour, as well as in friendship, and thereby add much to our happiness.
