Circa 1936 – Three Green Colors

3 Historically Documented Colors

This page from the 1936 Benjamin Moore catalog, Paints – Varnishes – Muresco, showcases Blind and Trellis Paint, featuring three green shades historically used for garden trellises, shutters, and exterior decorative woodwork.

These colors reflect the mid-1930s exterior palette, favoring muted yet natural greens that complemented both traditional and contemporary homes of the era.

Originally formulated in gloss, these colors are offered in satin or semi-gloss for modern use. Customers may request eggshell for a softer, low-sheen finish by contacting us directly.

Ideal for:

• Restoring garden trellises, exterior shutters, and ornamental woodwork
• Historic homes seeking period-accurate green tones
• Modern homes looking for authentic 1930s exterior accents

Note: Original gloss sheen is supplied as satin or semi-gloss.

Color Matching & Sample Disclaimer

We define our historic color matches as identical in hue and formulation. 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.
