Olive Brown may be made by mixing three parts of burnt umber and one part of lemon chrome yellow; or another shade is given by mixing equal quantities of orange and green with about twelve times as much black. Some painters add lemon chrome yellow to raw umber for a base.

Pomegranate. A golden brown shade sometimes called by this name is given by mixing three parts of red, six of orange, four of yellow with twenty parts of black.

Purple Brown. Mix four parts of dark Indian red with one part of ultramarine blue and of lamp black. The addition of white lead will usually make a more satisfactory tint, if the shade is too purple, a similar quantity of blue should be added, if too red, more black may be used, or a little yellow added, but purple brown pigment is cheap.

Russet Brown. Indian red lightened with white produces a tint sometimes called by this name.

Russet. A very good russet shade is got by mixing twenty parts of black, twelve of red, ten of orange, three of yellow, and five of green. Or medium chrome green, raw umber, and a little orange chrome yellow added to white as a base will give an excellent russet.
