NOMENCLATURE OF COLOURS.

A NOMENCLATURE of colours, with pro

per coloured examples of the different
tints, as a general standard to refer to in
the description of any object, has been
long wanted in arts and sciences. It is
singular, that a thing so obviously use
ful, and in the description of objects of
natural history and the arts, where co
A
 2

lour is an object indispensably neces

sary , should have been so long over
looked . In describing an object, to
specify, its colours is always useful ; but
where colour forms a character, it be
comes absolutely necessary. How defec
tive, therefore, must description be when
the terms used are ambiguous; and where
there is no regular standard to refer to.
Description without figure is generally
difficult to be comprehended ; descrip
tion and figure are in many instances
still defective ; but description, figure,
and colour combined form the most per.
fect-representation, and are next to see
ing the object itself. An object may be
 3

described of such a colour by one per

son , and perhaps mistaken by another for
quite a different tint : as we know the
names of colours are frequently misap
plied ; and often one name indiscrimi
nately given to many colours. To re
move the present confusion in the names
of colours, and establish a standard that
may be useful in general science, parti
cularly those branches, viz. Zoology, Bo
tany, Mineralogy, Chemistry, and Mor
bid Anatomy, is the object of the present
attempt.

The author, from his experience and

long practice in painting objects which
 4

required the most accurate eye to distin

guish colours, hopes that he will not be
thought altogether unqualified for such
an undertaking. He does not pretend
indeed that it is his own idea ; for, so far
as he knows, Werner is entitled to the
honour of having suggested it. This
great mineralogist, aware of the import.
ance of colours, found it necessary to
establish a Nomenclature of his own in

his description of minerals, and it is as

tonishing how correct his eye has been ;
for the author of the present undertaking
went over Werner's suites of colours, be
ing assisted by Professor Jamieson, who
was so good as arrange on a table, spe
 5

cimens of the suites of minerals mention

ed by Werner, as examples of his No

menclature of Colours. He copied the
colours of these minerals, and found the
component parts of each tint, as men
tioned by Werner, uncommonly correct.
Werner's suites of colours extend to se

venty -nine tints. Though these may an

swer for the description of most minerals,
they would be found defective when ap
plied to general science : the number
therefore is extended to one hundred and
eight, comprehending the most common
colours or tints that appear in nature.
These may be called standard colours ;
and if the terms pale, deep, dark, bright,
10
 6

and dull be applied to any ofthe standard

colours, suppose crimson , or the same
colour tinged lightly with other colours,
suppose grey, or black, or brown, and
applied in this manner :

1st. 2d.
tinged with Grey. tinged with Grey.
Pale
Crimson Black.
Crimson
Black ,
Brown, &c. Brown.

3d. 4th.
tinged with Grey . tinged with Grey.
Deep Dark
Black . Black.
Crimson Crimson
Brown . Brown.

5th . 6th.
tinged with Grey. tinged with Grey.
Bright Dull
Black. Black.
Crimson Crimson
Brown. Brown, &c.

If all the standard colours are applied in

this manner, or reversed, as grey tinged
 7.

with crimson, &c. the tints may be mul

tiplied to upwards of thirty thousand,
and yet vary very little from the stand
ard colours with which they are com
bined. The suites of colours are accom

panied with examples in, or references

to , the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral
Kingdoms, as far as the author has been
able to fill them up, annexed to each
tint, so as to render the whole as com
plete as possible. Werner, in his suites of
colours, has left out the terms Purple
and Orange, and given them under those
of Blue and Yellow ; but, with deference
to Werner's opinion, they certainly are
as much entitled to the name of colours
 8

as green , grey, brown, or any other com

position colour whatever, and in this
work are therefore arranged in distinct
places. To accomplish which, it was ne.
cessary to change the places of two or
three of Werner's colours, and alter the
names of a few more ; but, to avoid any
mistake, the letter W. is placed opposite
to all Werner's colours. Those colours in
Werner's suites, whose places or names
are changed, are also explained, by pla
cing Werner's term opposite to the name
given , which was found more appropriate
to the component parts of the changed
colours. Those who have paid any at
tention to colours, must be aware that it
 9

is very difficult to give colours for every

object that appears in nature ; the tints
are so various, and the shades so gradual,
they would extend to many thousands :
it would be impossible to give such a
number, in any work on colours, with
out great expence ; but those who study
the colours given, will, by following Wer
ner's plan, improve their general know
ledge of colours ; and the eye, by prac
tice, will become so correct, that by ex
amining the component parts of the
colour of any object, though differing in
shade from any of the colours given in
this series, they will see that it partakes
of, or passes into, some one of them . It
 10

is of great importance to be able tojudge

of the intermediate shades or tints be

tween colours, and find out their com

ponent parts, as it enables us correctly
to describe the colour of any object
whatever.

Werner's plan for describing the tints,

or shades between colours, is as follows :
• When one colour approaches slightly to
another, it is said to incline towards it ;
when it stands in the middle between two
colours, it is said to be intermediate; when,
on the contrary, it evidently approaches
very near to one of the colours, it is said
to fall, or pass, into it.” In this work the
 11

metallic colours are left out, because,

were they given , they would soon tar
nish ; and they are in some measure un
necessary , as every person is well ac
quainted with the colour of gold, silver,
brass, copper, &c. Also the play of co
lour is left out, as it is impossible to re
present it ; but it is well known to be a
combination of colours, varying as the
object is changed in position, as in the
pigeon's neck, peacock's tail, opal, pearl,
and objects of a similar appearance. To
gain a thorough knowledge of colours,
it is of the utmost consequence to be
able to distinguish their component parts.
Werner has described the combinations
 12

in his suites of colours, which are very

correct ; these are given, and the same
plan followed in describing those colours
which are added in this series. The me

thod of distinguishing colours, their

shades, or varieties, is thus described by
Werner : “ Suppose we have a variety of
colour, which we wish to refer to its cha
racteristic colour, and also to the variety
under which it should be arranged, we
first compare it with the principal co
lours, to discover to which of them it
belongs, which, in this instance, we find
to be green . The next step is to discover
to which of the varieties of green in the
system it can be referred. If, on compa
 13

ring it with emerald green, it appears to

the eye to be mixed with another colour,
we must, on comparison, endeavour to
discover what this colour is : if it prove
to be greyish white, we immediately re
fer it to apple green ; if, in place of
greyish white, it is intermixed with le
mon yellow, we must consider it grass
green ; but if it contains neither greyish
white nor lemon yellow, but a consider
able portion of black , it forms blackish
green. Thus, by mere ocular inspec
tion, any person accustomed to discrimi
nate colours correctly, can ascertain and
analyse the different varieties that occur
in the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral
 14

Kingdoms.” In an undertaking of this

kind, the greatest accuracy being abso
lutely necessary, neither time nor pains
has been spared to render it as perfect
as possible ; and it being also of the first
importance, that the colours should nei
ther change nor fade, from long practice
and many experiments, the author has
ascertained that his method of mixing
and laying on colours will ensure their
remaining constant, unless they are long
exposed to the sun, which affects, in some
degree, all material colours ; he has there
fore arranged Werner's suites of colours,
with his own additions, into a book , and
in that form presents it to men of science,
 15

trusting, that by removing the present

ambiguity in the names of colours, this
Nomenclature will be found a most use

ful acquisition to the arts and sciences.
