Devoe velour finish.
A 1928 paint manufacturer's colour card from Devoe & Raynolds Co., issued to show trade buyers and homeowners its Velour finish shades. Each page pairs a small pen-and-ink room interior with a flat swatch of colour, such as dove, sea green, peach, cream and navy, arranged in stacked panels with the shade numbers printed beside them. A designer could take from it the sober, muted palette of late 1920s interiors and the way a single colour block sits against a line-drawn room.
