Traditional

Traditional color combinations are

often copied from those with historical

significance. Conservative colors of blue,

burgundy, tan, and green in their grayed

or deepened hues, express traditional

themes. For example: green, in both its

full hue and grayed shades, always signi-

fies possession. Hunter green combined

with deep gold or burgundy, or in com-

bination with black, suggests richness and

stability. Hunter green is frequently seen

in the decor of banks and legal offices,

where it suggests permanence and value.
