thank you john for that great post.
very clear cut information.

i have found the same when doing any work
at neutral, or oxidize.

with strong yellow iron at cone 11 i can usually
get a strong yellow color, ochre will always give me
a dirty yellow.

that cheap ochre is a great addition to your clay body.
no need to use rich red iron.

when you fire in reduction it matters not a bit.
it is all variations of brown.
(and again, that is a +- sort of thing.)
mel
when doing black temmoku i use the
best red iron i can find.
