by Arthur Seymour Jennings

Oriental Blue.

—One part of lemon chrome yellow, two parts of Prussian blue and twenty parts of white lead.

Peacock Blue.

—This colour is one upon which opinion varies considerably. A splendid colour is made by taking cobalt as a base and adding a little white and a little Chinese blue.

Perfect Blue.

—Some manufacturers produce this beautifully rich colour. It is very like cobalt, but slightly darker.

Pompeian Blue.

—This is made by tinting white with ultramarine and adding a little vermilion and Italian ochre.

Porcelain Blue.

—To get this shade mix one part of zinc white and chrome green with four parts of ultramarine blue and a touch of black.
