A
Carpet
in
which
all
the
Colours
are
Light
never
has
a
clean,
bright
effect,
from
the
want
of
dark
tints
to
contrast
and
set
off
the
light
ones.
299.
For
a
Similar
Reason,
carpets
whose
colours
are
all
of
what
artists
call
middle
tint
(neither
dark
nor
light),
cannot
fail
to
look
dull
and
dingy,
even
when
quite
new.
300.
For
a
Carpet
to
be
really
Beautiful
and
in
good
taste,
there
should
be,
as
in
a
picture,
a
judicious
disposal
of
light
and
shadow,
with
a
gradation
of
very
bright
and
of
very
dark
tints;
some
almost
white,
and
others
almost
or
quite
black.
301.
The
Best
Carpets
The
most
truly
chaste,
rich,
and
elegant
carpets
are
those
which
are
of
one
colour
only,
the
pattern,
if
pattern
it
may
be
called,
being
formed
by
a
judicious
arrangement
of
every
variety
of
shade
of
this
colour.
For
instance,
a
Brussels
carpet
entirely
red;
the
pattern
formed
by
shades
or
tints
varying
from
the
deepest
crimson
(almost
a
black),
to
the
palest
pink
(almost
a
white).
Also
one
of
green
only,
shaded
from
the
darkest
bottle-green,
in
some
parts
of
the
pattern,
to
the
lightest
pea-green
in
others.
Or
one
in
which
there
is
no
colour
but
brown,
in
all
its
various
gradations,
some
of
the
shades
being
nearly
black,
others
of
a
light
buff.
302.
The
Curtains,
Sofas,
&c.,
must
be
of
corresponding
colours,
that
the
effect
of
the
whole
may
be
satisfactory
to
the
eye.
