He was regularly paid for procuring colours and for his salary, and the two payments tended to be lumped together as "for Colours &ca" or "for Salary &ca". The overall spend on colours evidently outweighed that spent on his salary; and, because his role was specific to the painting room, even the pure salary payments have here been classed as "Scene Painters' Supplies".
