Mix together yellow, pink, and white lead. This colour is only
proper for distemper.
275. LEMON YELLOW
Mix together realgar and orpiment; some object to this mixture on
account of the poisonous nature of the ingredients. The same colour
can be obtained by mixing yellow-pink with Naples yellow; but it is
then only fit for distemper.
276. ORANGE COLOUR
For this colour mix red lead and yellow ochre.
277. VIOLET COLOUR
Make, by mixing vermillion, or red lead, with black or blue, and a
small portion of white: vermillion is far preferable to red lead,
in mixing this colour.
278. PURPLE
Made by mixing dark-red with violet-colour.
279. CARNATION
Mix together lake colour and white.
280. GOLD COLOUR
This is procured by mixing massicot, or Naples yellow, with a small
quantity of realgar, and a very little Spanish white.
281. OLIVE COLOUR
This may be obtained by various mixtures: black and a little
blue, mixed with yellow; yellow-pink, with a little verdigris
and lamp-black; or ochre and a small quantity of white, will
also produce a kind of olive colour. For distemper, indigo and
yellow-pink, mixed with white lead or Spanish white, must be
used. If veined, it should be done with umber.
282. LEAD COLOUR
Mix together indigo and white lead or whiting.
283. CHESTNUT COLOUR
Mix red-ochre and black, for a dark-chestnut. To make it lighter,
employ a mixture of yellow-ochre.
284. LIGHT TIMBER COLOUR
For this colour mix together spruce-ochre, white and a little umber.
285. FLESH COLOUR

lamp-black, mix some litharge and red lead.

brown that may be obtained, are nearly as numerous as those of
green.

yellow-ochre, and the third yellow-ochre only. Shadow with umber or
sienna.
