CYCLOPEDIA OF PAINTING

raw sienna and vermilion. White tinted with a little orange chrome and burnt umber also gives a good old gold tint.

Olive Yellow. This color is sometimes called olive brown. It is made by mixing three parts of burnt umber with one part of lemon chrome yellow, a larger quantity of yellow being added if a lighter shade is required. Another method is to mix ten parts of black, one of orange, twelve of yellow and five of green.

Orange. Mix white, yellow and orange in the following proportions: One part each of yellow and white and eighteen parts of orange. Or another shade is got with seventeen parts of orange, six of yellow and two of white. Orange chrome yellow can be easily purchased, however, and gives this color without any admixture being necessary.

Persian Orange. Mix fourteen parts of orange chrome, five parts of yellow ochre and one of white.

Pompeian Yellow. Tint white with Italian ochre and add a very little ultramarine and vermilion.

Portland Stone. Mix equal parts of yellow ochre and raw umber and lighten up with white until the desired tint is obtained.

Primrose Yellow. Lemon chrome used by itself answers admirably.

Primrose. Ten parts of white, three parts of green and four parts of yellow will give this light greenish yellow. Another shade is got by mixing one part of orange, two parts of green and five parts of yellow.

Spruce Yellow. Add a little Venetian red to a mixture of French ochre and white lead.

Stone. This color, so much used, is usually made by mixing together five parts of white lead, two parts of French yellow ochre and one part of burnt umber. By adding a little raw umber, the tint may be varied as desired. This color is suitable for outside work. Another method for obtaining the shade is to tint white with medium chrome yellow and burnt umber.
