These the Dream Colors, According to Dr. Havelock Ellis. Re<l and yellow are the dream colors If Dr. Havelock Ellis is right. No other hues come $o the dreamer of dreams. Simroth has declared that red is the most primitive of colors, and long ago protoplasm from which human beings derived their origin on the new earth probably. responded to or was affected by red color waves. In the depth of the sea the algae or sea weed are red. With the savage red is the favorite color, and for a bright piece of red calico African savSges gladly would give valuable elephant tusks. Red strikes the note of intense emotions. It is the color of Joy, exultation, Jubilation. Savages paint themselves red, and rejoice at seeing each other in burning hues. German women of the early ages daubed their bodies with brilliant red and yellow, and considered themselves must beauteously adorned. On sacred festivals in Rome and Greece Pliny records red was smeared over the statues of Jupiter, and was the color of religious rejoicing. The human eyes, it is said, can distinguish 100,000 different hues or colors, and can appreciate and differentiate 20 shades of each hue. In other words, the eye is capable of 2,000,000 color impressions.
