I found these nifty vintage paint color brochures by DuPont and Sherwin Williams. I thought I would share them with you. If you have a 1950s house and are thinking about paint, these authentic color swatches from 1958 will come in handy.

We painted our 1955 Florida Ranch home with these colors: Master Bedroom- Blue Haze, Living Room and Kitchen- Sunlight, Office- Lime Green, Bathroom- Guards Gray.
Check out our example library for the paint swatches.
This book has wonderful examples of 1950s rooms and paint colors.
