Rh Cherry Red. Mix together crimson lake, burnt sienna and azure blue, or two parts of vermilion and one part of carmine.

Claret. Mix two parts of carmine with one of ultramarine blue. A little vermilion may be added if desired, and this may render a little yellow necessary to tone down the color. A less rich color may be made by mixing Venetian red and yellow ochre.

Coral Pink. This color is useful only on inside work. It is made by mixing five parts of vermilion, two parts of white lead and one part of chrome yellow. Another recipe for producing shades of coral pink is: one part of white, three of red, five of orange, and three of blue.

Dregs of Wine. This shade is produced by mixing Venetian red with a little lamp black and white lead.

Egyptian. A dull yellowish crimson made by using five parts of black, one and half of white, two of orange, and one of blue, and a very little red.

Firefly. A dull orange red produced by mixing two parts of black, three of red, one of orange, and a little yellow.

Flesh Color. One hundred and twenty parts white lead, two parts yellow ochre, and one part Venetian red will produce an excellent flesh color. Or mix eight parts of white lead, two parts of orange chrome yellow, and one part of light Venetian red. An increased proportion of red may be employed where desired. A mixture of orange and white in the proportion of one part of the former to three parts of the latter may also be used, or a mixture of medium chrome yellow, ochre, and Venetian red added to white.

French Red. Use equal parts of Indian red and vermilion, and glaze with carmine or permanent crimson madder.

Gazelle. To obtain this mix Venetian red, lamp black and Indian red, and add sufficient white lead to produce the desired shade.

Geranium. To produce this color use nine parts of bright red and one of blue. Or Indian red may be used, afterwards
