by Arthur Seymour Jennings

Maize.

—Mix yellow and white in the proportion of about three parts of the former to one of the latter to get this light yellow shade.

Mander’s Yellow.

—This is intended to be used as a substitute for old Oxford ochre, but is claimed to be superior. It is based on ochre and is of great strength and body.

Manilla.

—This colour is sometimes called “deep deck.” It is made by tinting white lead with French ochre and chrome yellow. Or a mixture of white with four times the quantity of yellow will produce a shade of manila.

Marigold.

—This is obtained by mixing a very little bright yellow with orange chrome.

Melon.

—Mix equal quantities of black and white; add twice the bulk of orange chrome and a quantity of medium chrome equal to the mixture of black and white.
