Tinting and mixing chart : for pure white, clear colors, flat tints and shades.
A 1910 trade chart issued by the Eagle-Picher Lead Co. of Chicago, aimed at painters and paint dealers, showing how white lead paint takes on tints and shades. The pictures are rows of rectangular colour swatches, each split into a top and bottom block, with the upper patch showing a tinted or shaded mix. A designer might take from them a sense of how muted ochres, greens, slate blues and browns sit together as a restrained palette.
