Dark Blue.

—Obviously this is no very definite colour. Manufacturers often use one part of white, two of chrome green, and seven of Prussian blue. But ultramarine, or indeed any blue, may be used, and this may be first lightened with white and black added as may be desired.

Fog Blue.

—Equal parts of burnt sienna and Prussian blue, lightened up with about twenty parts of white lead.

French Blue.

—Mix four parts of white, one of green, and four of ultramarine blue. The name is also applied to the best quality of artificial ultramarine.

Gobelin Blue.

—Mix together four parts of ivory black, two of white, one of chrome green, and three of Prussian blue.

Granite (Blue.)

—To produce this shade mix two parts of black with six of white and one of ultramarine blue.
