COLOR MIXING
85

is to mix twenty, parts of black with three parts of red, but this gives a more or less muddy shade.

Cinnamon. Six parts white lead, two parts burnt sienna, and one part of golden ochre make a good cinnamon, or French ochre, English Indian red and a little lamp black will produce the same color. Another way is to mix Italian sienna and burnt umber.

Clay Drab. Mix equal parts of white lead, raw umber and raw sienna, and add a little chrome if desired. Some painters prefer to add a little medium chrome yellow.

Cocoanut Brown. This shade may be obtained by mixing one part of white lead with double the quantity of burnt umber.

Coffee. To produce this color mix together five parts of burnt umber, two parts of yellow ochre and one part of burnt sienna.

Copper. Tint zinc white with French ochre, Italian sienna and lamp black. A very good copper shade is obtained by mixing two parts of medium chrome yellow, one part of Venetian red, and one part of drop black or two parts of lamp black, three parts of medium chrome yellow and six parts of Venetian red.

Cork Color. Tint white lead with French ochre, Indian red and a little lamp black, or with raw Italian sienna and burnt umber.

Dark Drab. French gray, Indian red and lamp black added to white lead give this color.

Dark Lava. Mix French ochre, Indian red and lamp black, and lighten with white lead.

Dark Oak. Add French ochre and Venetian red to white lead as a base.

Doe Color. This may be produced by mixing raw Italian sienna and burnt umber with white lead, or French ochre and mineral brown with a little lamp black.

Dove Color. White lead, with a little Prussian blue and a touch of ivory black will produce an excellent dove color,
