The Traditional Colour Range
Some Paint Colours of the 18th and early 19th Centuries
|

|
The colours in the Traditional Colour
Range are a number of those in use by the house-painter
between 150 and 300 years ago.
|

|
|

|
The colours have been taken from three main
sources:
-
a set of painters' sample cards dating
from 1807;
-
the research of two of the foremost authorities
in the subject;
-
colour matches of early paint recipes
using near-original ingredients.

Hand-painted sets of colour cards
are available for sale.
The set consists of eight cards, each card displaying eight
colours. An explanatory brochure is enclosed, together
with a price list.

For many reasons, your monitor may not be showing
the paint colours accurately.
Please ensure that you obtain a set of colour cards, and preferably
a sample pot, before buying greater quantities of paint.
