1) 0.2M ferric nitrate is added gradually to 1M sodium hydroxide. In result, a red precipitate appears. The precipitate is ferric hydroxide.

2) 0.2M potassium chromate is added gradually to 0.05M lead acetate. in result, a yellow precipitate appears. The precipitate is called potassium acetate.

The common between the two is that the colors originated from one of the reactants.
