104 glazing with madder lake for good work. Most of the larger color manufacturers make geranium red which is better than can be obtained by mixing.

Indian Pink. Tint white lead with a little Indian red.

Indian Red. This is a good permanent pigment to be bought ready made, and is most useful in mixing with other colors.

Light Pink. Tint white lead with a little pure vermilion. The word pink does not bear any very definite meaning, as almost any bright red such as carmine or crimson added to plenty of white give a good pink just as vermilion does, but of another hue.

Light Salmon. Tint white lead with raw Italian sienna, burnt Italian sienna, and burnt Turkey umber. Or tint white with any bright red, toning down with Sienna.

Lilac. A great deal of difference of opinion exists as to this tint. One part of ultramarine to one part of bright carmine, added to eighty parts white lead, give a very good lilac. A cheaper way is to use Indian red and lamp black as a tinting color, or rose pink may be added to the lead only. Yet another method for producing a lilac is to mix three parts of bright Indian red, three parts of white lead, and one part of ultramarine blue, but less white lead is preferred by some painters.

Magenta. Carmine and vermilion, with a little ultramarine blue, produce this color.

Maroon. This color is obtained by mixing carmine and blue black, and adding a small quantity of medium chrome yellow. It may also be made by mixing one part of ultramarine blue with three parts of Tuscan red. This gives a tint that is often considered a little too red, but this defect
