Corn Yellow. Mix yellow and white in the proportion of about three parts of the former to one of the latter to get this light yellow shade.

Manilla. Is made by tinting white lead with French ochre and chrome yellow. Or a mixture of white with four times the quantity of yellow will produce a shade of manilla.

Marigold. This is obtained by mixing a very little bright yellow with orange chrome.

Melon. Mix equal quantities of black and white. Add twice the bulk of orange chrome and a quantity of medium chrome equal to the mixture of black and white.

Mushroom. A dull yellow shade, which may be obtained by adding one part of orange and two of yellow to ten parts of black.

Middle Stone. Mix as described under Stone, but use more umber and ochre.

Naples Yellow. This yellow is not now much used, chrome yellow having to a large extent taken its place. It may be imitated by tinting zinc white with cadmium yellow and a very little yellow ochre.

Naples Yellow. This is obtained by mixing orange with twice as much yellow and three times as much white. It is also the name given to an artist's color.

Ochre Yellow. Mix orange and yellow in about equal proportions with a rather larger quantity of black.

Old Gold. Use middle chrome with a little vermilion and burnt sienna, and add a very little cobalt. A cheaper color may be made by mixing ochre and burnt sienna.

Some painters prefer to tint white lead with a mixture of chrome,
