Robert Kemp Philp
637
1802.
Domestic
Hints
(Brighter
Colours
for
Dark
People).
Why
are
yellow,
orange,
or
red
colours
suitable
to
a
person
of
dark
hair
and
complexion?
Because
those
colours,
by
contrast
with
the
dark
skin
and
hair,
show
to
the
greater
advantage
themselves,
while
they
enrich
the
hue
of
black.
1803.
Domestic
Hints
(Light
Green
for
Fair
Complexions).
Why
is
a
delicate
green
favourable
to
pale
blonde
complexions?
Because
it
imparts
a
rosiness
to
such
complexions--red,
its
complementary
colour,
being
reflected
upon
green.
1804.
Domestic
Hints
(Light
Green
Unfavourable
for
Ruddy
Complexions).
Why
is
light
green
unfavourable
to
ruddy
complexions?
Because
it
increases
the
redness,
and
has
the
effect
of
producing
an
overheated
appearance.
1805.
Domestic
Hints
(Violet
Unfavourable
for
All).
Why
are
violet
draperies
unfavourable
to
every
kind
of
complexion?
Because,
reflecting
yellow,
they
augment
that
tint
when
it
is
present
in
the
skin
or
hair,
change
blue
into
green,
and
give
to
an
olive
complexion
a
jaundiced
look.
1806.
Domestic
Hints
(Blue
Unsuitable
for
Brunettes).
Why
is
blue
unsuitable
to
brunettes?
Because
it
reflects
orange,
and
adds
to
the
darkness
of
the
complexion.
1807.
Domestic
Hints
(Blue
Veils
for
Complexion).
Why
do
blue
veils
preserve
the
complexion?
Because
they
diminish
the
effect
of
the
scorching
rays
of
light,
just
as
the
blue
glass
over
photographic
studios
diminishes
the
effect
of
certain
rays
that
would
injure
the
delicate
processes
of
photography.
