Cream.
—A good shade is obtained by mixing eight parts of white lead, two parts of French yellow ochre and a touch of Venetian red. French ochre and lead alone are often employed. There are many other methods of obtaining this tint. Note.—Light buff, medium buff, and dark buff may all be obtained in the same way by adding more or less of the French ochre or white.
Daffodil.
—Lemon chrome mixed with a little Venetian red will give this colour.
Deep Cream.
—This colour is made by tinting white lead with yellow ochre and a little Venetian red. (See [Cream].)
Ecru.
—Tint white lead with French ochre and medium chrome yellow. A tint which is sometimes called stone colour is produced in the same way. Another shade of ecru may be obtained by mixing three parts of black, eight parts of white, three of medium chrome yellow, and one of Brunswick green.
Gamboge.
—This is an artist’s colour. It is a gum resin, is somewhat fugitive, and is useless for the purpose of the house painter.
