The color book
The Color Book is a trade catalogue of interior decoration and paint schemes issued by Jones & Dillingham Co., a paint and finishes firm, for homeowners and decorators, with its date and place not given in the record. Its hand-coloured plates show rooms and a house in soft, layered palettes, with yellow walls set against deep teal upholstery, green stair runners and dark wood furniture, which a designer could take as tested colour pairings for period interiors.
