Yes, there were quite a large number of different reds to choose from. The manufacturer’s charts covered several types of crayon/penci, each type with its own palette. I have 1 or 2, which I could compare with the RGB image on a computer screen, but am not certain how accurate the representation is overall. The ones I
could compare were pretty good, but different qualities of paper made quite a difference, too.

Leviticus 13 is a great chapter for leprosy, and an important illustration of how much God loves us! Children today rarely see leprosy, and very little is taught about it at school. Your comment suggests that
7vi could be a little kit of one or two mildly corrosive silver powders that would take on a mottled appearance when exposed to light, and degrade the paper over time - just like real leprosy! I’ve just checked with our senior chemist, and am assured that there are suitable silver salts.
Numbers 12 and
II Chronicles 26 contain two delightful stories of INSTANT LEPROSY - perfect bedtime reading for the little ones after completing one of Mrs. Dewitt’s pictures.

The screen does not show all the reds exactly - only
2vii (spectrum red) is pure red - I just checked it - and even
3iv (a blood red) is not very bloody; I just checked that one too, and it is a slightly diluted dark red. When anything is added to plain red, it seems to look a bit “pink” against a pure red on the screen - but even very dark plain red (
5vii is pure, but very dark, red) comes out on the screen as brownish.
I'll keep a list of all suggestions and update occasionally with the Biblical names.
