Palatinechtfarben auf Wollstückware (Muster aus der Praxis) = Palatine fast colours on wool piece goods (patterns from the trade) = Colorants palatins solides sur tissu de laine (echantillons provenant de la pratique)
A 1930 trade sample book published in Frankfurt by the I.G. Farbenindustrie company, issued in German, English and French to show dyers and textile buyers how Palatine fast colours look on wool cloth. The page presents swatches of dyed wool fabric in rows of tan, olive green, navy and near black, each numbered beneath, with a company name printed across the top. A designer could take from it a sober, practical palette of woollen browns, greens and dark blues, shown as flat fabric swatches with pinked edges.
