mixing: six parts of lamp black, five of bright red, and four of Prussian blue.
Black Maroon. Take eight parts of black and mix them with one of a bright red and a little Prussian blue.
Blood Red. Any bright red toned down with a little black will produce a shade sometimes called by this name.
Bordeaux Red. Take nine parts of black and mix with it two parts of orange chrome and one of Prussian blue.
Brick. Use two parts of French ochre to one part of Venetian red and one part of white lead, adding more ochre if required to lighten the color. This gives a good tint, sometimes called brick red, and is suitable for outside work.
Bright Scarlet. Mix twenty parts of vermilion, seven parts of pale chrome, and one part of golden ochre. A good vermilionette slightly toned down with yellow answers the same purpose.
Bronze Red. This is a red toned down with about a fourth part of black, a little bright yellow or orange being added.
Cambridge Red. Vermilion, to which is added about one twentieth part of Prussian blue, gives a color called Cambridge red.
Carmine. This is an artist's color, its rich red tint can hardly be imitated. A light vermilionette of good grade, to which is added a little bright yellow, may be used.
Carnation Red. Three parts of carmine lake and one part of white lead give a carnation color, but a better result is obtained by taking pure vermilion as a base and adding carmine and zinc white until the desired rich color is obtained. This color is not suitable for use outside.
Carnation Rose. White lead tinted with Indian red or vermilion, or one of the fast reds. A beautiful color can be obtained by simply tinting white with permanent crimson madder.
