may be obtained by mixing six parts of Prussian blue, thirteen of chrome green, three of orange chrome, eight of white, and twenty of black.

Moss Green. Tint white lead with French ochre, a bright green and a little lamp black.

Moss Rose. This pale greenish shade is obtained by mixing chrome or Brunswick green, bright yellow and white in the proportions of one part green, four of yellow and three of white.

Mountain Green. Add to medium chrome yellow sufficient cobalt to produce the desired hue, adding a little white if necessary.

Myrtle. Three parts of dark chrome green, one part of ultramarine blue, and a little white lead will give an excellent myrtle color.

Night Green. Seven parts of chrome green and three parts of yellow ochre will give this shade.

Nile Green. Five parts of white, nine of emerald green and six of Prussian blue will give this shade.

Another method is to use eight parts of lemon chrome yellow, one part of blue black and one part of Prussian blue. Or the following proportions give very good shades: three parts black, four parts white, four parts red, two parts yellow, and eleven parts green. Or, fifteen parts of white, twenty of red, twelve of yellow, and fifty-three of green. Some painters add equal portions of Prussian blue and lamp black to lemon chrome yellow for a base, or the base may be ochre instead of chrome, and a little of the yellow be added.

Oriental Green. Is made by mixing equal proportions of raw umber and lemon chrome yellow.

Royal Green. This color is sold ready made.

Peacock Green. A mixture of seven parts of white, fifty parts of emerald green and forty-three of Prussian blue will give this shade. A little yellow is sometimes added. The
