It's just like your examples show, mix ratios. Say your top example is 2 parts XF-7 to 1 part XF-4.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Tamiya Color Callouts--Are These Ratios??
Posted by Adam148 on Sunday, November 16, 2014 4:48 PM
Tamiya uses a convention in its color callouts I'm not familiar with.

The instruction sheet will say something like:
XF-7:2 + XF-4:1
Or
X-10:1 + XF-17:1

Is this just a simple ratio they're calling for? I.e., 2 parts to one part, or one part to one part?

I emailed Tamiya over a week ago and haven't heard back. Thought I'd ask the real experts here.
