Color in home decoration: alabastine.
A 1925 trade booklet on color in home decoration issued by the Alabastine Co., a wall-coating maker, aimed at homeowners and decorators choosing paint and wall tints. The cover shows vertical pastel stripes under a black banner, and the second picture is a circular diagram of primary, secondary and tertiary color names around a central grey. A designer could take from it the early twentieth-century habit of presenting color as a named, systematic wheel with paired stripe palettes.
