Magenta.
—Carmine and vermilion, with a little ultramarine blue, produce this colour.
Maroon.
—This colour is obtained by mixing carmine and blue black, and adding a small quantity of medium chrome yellow. It may also be made by mixing one part of ultramarine blue with three parts of Tuscan red. This gives a tint that is often considered a little too red, but this defect may easily be remedied by adding more blue. Some painters add ivory black and a little chrome yellow to carmine.
Mexican Red.
—Mix one part of red lead with four parts of Venetian red.
Mikado.
—Three parts of blue and seven of red, mixed with a little white, give this purplish red shade.
