Gold.
—To obtain the colour known as “gold” white lead may be tinted with five parts of golden or yellow ochre, and one part of vermilion, or a mixture of light chrome yellow, French ochre and vermilion may be used instead to tint the white lead. The quantity of yellow used should be considerably more than the ochre.
Hay Colour.
—French ochre, medium chrome yellow, and lamp black used as tinting colour for white lead will give a hay colour, or raw Italian sienna and lamp black may be employed if desired.
Ivory.
—The addition of a very little medium chrome yellow to white lead produces this tint, or a very little golden ochre may be used.
Jonquil Yellow.
—Tint white lead with medium chrome yellow to which has been added a very little vermilion red. One of the favourite methods is to employ sixteen parts white lead, one part of indigo and two parts of light red, adding as much chrome yellow as may be desired. Another way of making jonquil yellow is by simply mixing with a little green about forty times the quantity of yellow.
Leghorn.
—This is a pale yellow shade, which is obtained by mixing white and medium chrome yellow in about equal proportions.
