Colors : how to use them in your home.
A 1930 paint company booklet from Lowe Brothers Company, issued as a colour guide for homeowners decorating their houses. The pictures are flat swatch panels of paint colours, each labelled with a trade name and number, such as Stone Gray 389, Walnut Brown 664 and Mahogany Red 391. A designer could draw on them for period-accurate interior palettes, with muted greys, browns, greens and blues and printed swatch-card labelling.
