Iron oxide was used for the reds, and apparently when it was heated it could produce other shades as well. The yellow is from ochre. These are the same pigments used today to color house paints and art supplies. They were likely mixed with an oil, probably the tallow from the deer bones. It's amazing it's held up this well for so long. It felt like a very sacred place.

Thank you Sage and Roxann for posting your pictures. Both places are beautiful in a
completely different way. Sage do you know what "paint" was used to create
the rock art?
