34. The Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colors by Michel Eugene Chevreul. Principle #1 Put a color on a canvas and surround the space with a complementary color. Principle #2 Place white beside a color to heighten its tone. Removing white lessens the intensity. Principle #3 Put black beside a color to weaken its tone, an example is with yellow. Principle #4 Put grey beside a color to render it more brilliant. Principle #5 Put a dark color near a different but lighter color to heighten the tone of the first color. Principle #6 Beside each color put two tints of different tones of the same color to create chiaroscuro. (Chiaroscuro means the treatment of light and dark parts in a work of art to create contrast)
