Millions have been misled by flawed historic palettes for years

"Historical color palettes were not always based on evidence from buildings, evolving as an amalgam of scientific paint analysis, historical research, and imagination. They’ve served as sales tools, educational models, and advocates for historic preservation." – Tania Alam, 2017
