Well, Russel, you are obviously not from the midwest farming country.
Red barns were painted with gold old red iron oxide dirt and a
suspension agent of some kind. Also, milk paint is milk, water and
pigment. The bane if all antique dealers.

Russel,
If you want to experiment with it, the natural earth pigments can be
gotten from supplyers of artist's pigments. This is one (not
necessarily the one with the best prices):

The terra cotta (literally 'cooked earth' in Italian) colors do not
hold at stoneware temps.

Enzo painted his spare room today with a "natural" paint that
according to the label is basically clay, water, titanium (to modify
the color) and CMC.
Of course the colors are all variations on terra-cotta; reds,
oranges, yellows (looks like Tuscany).
Pretty cool!
I'm going to put some on a pot and fire it to see what happens.

Oh but I AM from the midwest farming country, Grand Rapids, Michigan
to be exact and I do know of white wash, red wash and milk paint. But
I'd never heard of this combination and not sold commercially.
When I lived in Portugal, we painted a house with white wash, came as
solid chunks of calcined lime. Be real careful when you drop'em in
the water, stand back and don't breath to close!
This was a lot "friendlier". Enzo used most of it up so it looks like
I'll have to buy my test sample.

This is getting a bit off topic but I have an old Canadian prairie piece of
furniture that is stained or red washed in oxblood, I guess there were no
good iron clay deposits in the part of Manitoba where this was made.
