Firefly.
—A dull orange red produced by mixing two parts of black, three of red, one of orange, and a little yellow.
Flesh Colour.
—One hundred and twenty parts white lead, two parts yellow ochre, and one part Venetian red will produce an excellent flesh-colour. Or mix eight parts of white lead, two parts of orange chrome yellow, and one part of light Venetian red. An increased proportion of red may be employed where desired. A mixture of orange and white in the proportion of one part of the former to three parts of the latter may also be used, or a mixture of medium chrome yellow, ochre, and Venetian red added to white.
French Red.
—Use equal parts of Indian red and vermilion, and glaze with carmine.
Gazelle.
—To obtain this mix Venetian red, lamp black and Indian red, and add sufficient white lead to produce the desired shade.
Geranium.
—To produce this colour use nine parts of bright red and one of blue. Or Indian red may be used, afterwards glazing with madder lake for good work. Most of the larger colour manufacturers make geranium red, which is better than one can obtain by mixing.
