No flying paint pots. . .but be careful of any odd colored seasonings in the

On a more serious note  I've come back from Estrella with a variety of tubes
of period pigment including minium, which is made from red lead, and as a
powered pigment is VERY orange.  I have not had a chance to see if it is the
same color as a paint.
