Historic Colors of America were selected from hundreds of samples taken from historic buildings and painted objects ranging from folk carvings to elegant corner cupboards. The palette includes both early earth pigments, like Farmhouse Ochre and Codman Claret associated with farmhouses, and more brilliant colors that became available in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The colors presented are historically accurate for old house owners or those with new homes. Whether your repainting your Colonial or Federal period home or choosing colors for a Greek Revival, Victorian, Stick-Style or Queen Anne, you'll find the colors in the palette enriching and full of historic character.
