It is frequently combined with other dyestuffs and various mordants to produce a range of yellow and greenish colors: * With woad or indigo: bright or Saxon greens * With bichromate of potash: old gold * With logwood and bichromate of potash: greenish yellows * With copper sulfate: olive greens * With ferrous sulfate: dark green ...
