King color rules the home.
A 1928 trade booklet from the Acme White Lead and Color Works of Detroit, promoting paint colour for home interiors to homeowners and decorators. Its pictures are architectural floor plans of a house and colour-rendered interior room views, showing how paint schemes read in a room. A designer might take from them the layout of period rooms, plan drawing conventions, and muted historic palettes of cream walls, panelled woodwork and red brick fireplaces.
