1915 – Sears Velvet Sanitary Fresco Colors

4 Historically Documented Colors

This set from the 1915 Sears Paint Catalog features 4 authentic historic interior colors formulated as Velvet Sanitary Fresco Colors. Designed for interior walls, these colors were originally produced in flat finishes, ideal for smooth plaster, fresco, or other wall surfaces common in early 20th-century homes.

The palette reflects soft, muted tones popular for interior spaces in 1915, offering subtle elegance for bedrooms, dining rooms, and living areas.

These colors are suitable for:

• Restoration of interiors from the 1915 era
• Recreating authentic period wall colors
• Modern homes seeking historically accurate flat wall finishes

Note: Original sheen levels are preserved as closely as possible. Flat colors remain flat or eggshell as appropriate.

Color Matching & Sample Disclaimer

We define our historic color matches as precison-matched in hue to original manufacturer references. Each 8 oz sample is produced in our standard match grade to accurately represent the color.

Due to differences between paint products and finishes, the same color may vary slightly when produced in other grades or sheens.

Higher-grade paint options are available for final applications, just as with full home orders.

Upgrade for Best Results

Your sample represents the color. Your final paint determines the finish.

For full projects, we recommend upgrading to a higher-performance paint line for superior coverage, durability, and overall appearance—especially on exteriors and detailed trim.
