Plate 41.—This plate shows three three-color combinations; in each figure two of the colors are complementary, and the third color is a mixture of the two. Fig. 290 is composed of red, sea-green, and black; the latter was produced by a mixture of the red and sea-green shown in this figure. Fig. 291 is composed of orange, blue, and an olive produced by a mixture of the two. Fig. 292 is composed of purple, light green, and a color produced by a mixture of the two.

Plate 43.—This plate shows a very elaborate specimen—Fig. 294—printed in gold and eight colors. In the feather, the gold was printed first; then the green; then the reddish purple; then the maroon-red; then the deep blue, and finally the sea-green. The card and border was printed in color 51 and its tint, and a sea-green tint.
Plate 44.—This plate contains some elegant combinations of gold and two colors. Fig. 295 was first printed in a blue tint, then in gold, and then in one of the dark tones of orange.

Fig. 298 is a splendid combination of sea-green, gold, and one of the dark tones of orange, printed in the order named. Fig. 299 is a combination of the three primaries—red, yellow, and blue, modified by mixture with other colors. Fig. 300 was first printed in a delicate green tint, then in gold, and then in a light red-brown. Fig. 301 was first printed in a purple tint, then in gold, and then in a light green.
