Ingersoll liquid rubber paint.
A 1920 colour card from Patrons' Paint Works, Inc. for Ingersoll liquid rubber paint, a trade sampler aimed at building and roofing buyers choosing a finish. The pictures are rows of small square paint swatches, each labelled with a number and a colour name such as buff, light lead, deep blue, bottle green, indian red and metallic roof. A designer could take from them a sober, historical palette of muted greys, deep greens, reds and browns for industrial or utilitarian colour schemes.
