Rh A very successful color can be produced from permanent crimson madder.

Rose Wood. To produce this color, red is mixed with about twelve times the quantity of black and a very little green. The shade given is a very dark red.

Royal Pink. Mix together two parts of zinc white and carmine lake. This will only do for inside work.

Royal Purple. Mix one part of vegetable black, one and one-half of rich red, and seven of Prussian blue.

Salmon. Six parts of white lead, one part of vermilion, and a little lemon chrome yellow. This mixture produces a color somewhat bright. Another salmon color is made by a mixture of raw sienna, burnt sienna and burnt umber. A tint preferred by some is produced by adding to the white, Venetian red, burnt umber and French ochre. Another method is to add vermilion and golden ochre to white, which gives a nice bright color. Venetian red and chrome, added to white, gives a duller color. Still another mixture is Venetian red, vermilion, yellow ochre and white.

Scarlet Lake. A color very similar may be obtained in one of the many vermilionettes on the market. It will be convenient to remember that all vermilions are lightened by the use of pale chrome instead of white lead. Lead takes down the brilliancy of the color, producing a pink.

Scarlet Red. It is the name given to the brightest of the oxide paints.

Shell Pink. This color is sometimes made by adding a little good Indian red to white, but some decorators prefer to use vermilion with a little chrome yellow and burnt sienna.

Shrimp Pink. Mix Venetian red, burnt sienna and white lead, and add a little vermilion.

Signal Red. This is usually made by mixing orange lead, vermilionette and Paris white, or orange lead by itself may be tinted with vermilionette.
