Venetian Red

a color said to be a native ocher, but the colors sold under this name are prepared artificially from sulphate of iron, or its residuum in the manufacture of acids. They are all of redder and deeper hues than light red, are very permanent and have all the properties of good ochers. Scarlet ocher, Prussian red, English red, and rouge de Mars are other names for the same pigment.
