Oriental Red.

—Mix one part of red lead with two parts of Indian red.

Orange Scarlet.

—This colour may be obtained by adding two parts of orange lead to one part of white lead.

Orange Vermilion.

—Orange lead comes nearest to this colour. The tone may be made by adding chrome to vermilion.

Peach Bloom.

—This is a mixture of white lead and Venetian red. Or it may be produced by adding sufficient Indian red to white lead to give a warm tint and mixing it with equal proportions of white lead, lemon chrome yellow, ultramarine blue and light Indian red. Or a mixture of three parts of Indian red with seventeen parts of white is sometimes used.

Pink.

—White lead tinted with orange lead gives a bright pink.
