Wall-Hide Semi-Gloss

Interior – 12 Colors

This brochure from the 1950 Pittsburgh Paint Catalog features Wall-Hide Semi-Gloss, an interior paint line designed for walls.

The palette represents the typical early-1950s interior tones — soft, versatile, and muted, reflecting postwar residential aesthetics.

Color Examples Include:

Colonial Blue
Golden Buff
Light Rose
Velvet Green
Pastel Blue
Mellow Ivory
Dusky Red
Aqua Green
Soft Pearl
Silver Green
Warm Beige
Primrose Yellow

These colors can be offered in:

• Semi-Gloss (primary finish)

• Satin (modern preference)

• Eggshell available by special request

This line provides a coordinated semi-gloss alternative to the flat Wall-Hide colors, allowing homeowners or contractors to achieve a slightly reflective interior finish while retaining the soft, muted tones of the era.

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.
