Good homes and how to paint them
Good Homes and How to Paint Them is a 1920 trade booklet published by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company of Wilmington, Delaware, to advise homeowners and painters on exterior house colours. Its pictures are framed colour plates of a colonial-revival house with a painted colour scheme listed beneath, plus a plain cover with a green botanical border and a central ornament. A designer might take the period palette of sage green, cream and warm white trim, and the bordered page layout.
