Color harmony in the home.

Alice Lee Patterson · 1930 · Smith-Alsop Bloomington Paint Co. · 6 pictures

A 1930 paint company booklet by Alice Lee Patterson, published by Smith-Alsop Bloomington Paint Co., offering homeowners guidance on choosing harmonious colour schemes for interiors and exteriors. The framed plates are flat, colour-blocked gouache-style renderings with captions beneath, showing a breakfast room with tiled floor, a living room with fireplace and stairway glimpse, a pink-tiled bathroom, and a red-roofed pink house. A designer might take from them the confident pastel palettes, the tiled floor patterns, and the clean framed-plate layout.
