Such refie n will likely intensify the colcr to an undesired degree. Butter yel- low or off-white, used on the walls of such a room, will take on an agreeable pinkish cast. It is well to remember also that rooms painted in either green or blue tints will have their color deepened considerably if they get the reflected light from the . green of tree foliage.
