Heath & Milligan House Paint
A trade catalogue of paint colour schemes issued by the Heath & Milligan Mfg. Co. in 1890 for prospective buyers and painters. The four pictures show the same Queen Anne style house with a steep hipped roof, dormers, bay windows and a porch, each painted in a different palette of body, trim and roof colours. A designer could take the colour pairings, such as olive green with cream trim or fawn with canary yellow, as a tested reference for muted Victorian palettes.
