Rh color is best produced by giving a final transparent coat over a ground color. For the ground mix a rich green, a very deep Brunswick green and middle chrome. Over this apply a very thin coat of a deep bluish green made from Prussian blue and lemon chrome.

Pea Green. Forty-eight parts of white lead and one part of chrome green will give this color, or emerald green may be used if desired. Some makers mix medium chrome green and white lead in the proportion of five parts of the latter to one part of the former to obtain a pea green, but the proportions may be varied considerably according to the exact shade required.

Persian Green. This is only another name for emerald green, the vivid and somewhat staring hue being sometimes employed in oriental decorations and being then termed Persian green.

Pistache. This is a yellowish green shade. It may be obtained by mixing seven parts of black, one of yellow ochre and one and half of chrome green. Or chrome yellow may, if desired, be substituted for the ochre.

Prussian Green. To produce this, mix five parts black, three parts chrome yellow and twelve parts emerald or medium chrome green.

Quaker Green. Mix equal proportions of Venetian red and medium chrome yellow and add blue black. Add to this mixture a quantity of chrome green equal in bulk to the three. This will give an excellent quaker green.

Reed Green. Mix white, chrome yellow and chrome green in about equal quantities to produce this shade. The name, however, has no special significance, and an admixture of almost any yellow and green, lightened up with white, might be used instead.

Sage Green. This may be produced by tinting white lead with four parts of light chrome green and one part of ivory black, or the white lead may be tinted with a mixture of French ochre, lamp black, and Prussian blue. Another
