RUSSIAN MUSIC

Russian Musie is a splendid example of the yellow tones which form the base of other colors, nameiy rust, copper, bumt siena and olive green, while ochrę yellow contains red tints. These warm colors, which are based on the yellow, orange and red parts of the spectrum, feel approachable and

immediate, the greater their intensity the morę they project forward. These sympathetic colors give back light and so are active, advancing and intense. The effects they produce create bargello patterns which are dramatic and dynamie. Here this complex color combination shows how imaginative designs can be enhanced by using innovative threads which blend together.

Reminding us of the dramatic intensity and bravura of Russian musie, this design flows with a tonal resonance.

Its enthusiasm enriches a room through its bold interplay of colors. Such inspiring effects vibrate as musical chords, generating color excitement. The use of luxurious silk threads complements such emotions, leaving one with feelings sumptuous and expansive.
