12 Colors

This 1950 Pittsburgh Paints catalog features Historic Wall Paint, a flat-finish interior paint offered in 12 authenticated colors. These shades were verified with Williamsburg Restoration Incorporated, reflecting the colors used in colonial-era homes and mid-century restorations. Examples include Pitt-Dixon Rose, Raleigh Tavern Green, Raleigh Tavern Peach, Blair House Rose, Palace Gray, Palace Ballroom Blue, Palace Garden Green, and Wythe House Yellow, among others.

Originally flat, these colors are offered in flat or eggshell, allowing for modern usability while maintaining historical accuracy.

Ideal for:

• Authentic 1950s colonial-inspired interior finishes

• Homes seeking historically accurate wall colors verified by Williamsburg

• Interior restoration projects requiring period-appropriate palettes

Note: Flat finish preserved; eggshell available.

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.
