The 11-color palette includes Dark Oak, Blue Dusk, Walnut, Cruiser Gray, Dixie Gray, Tile Red, Meadow Green, Light Oak, Pewter Gray, Peacock Green, and Mahogany.

Originally gloss, these colors are offered in satin or semi-gloss, allowing modern usability while maintaining historical authenticity.

Ideal for:

• Floors, decks, and high-traffic surfaces in 1950s homes

• Period-accurate mid-century color schemes

• Restoration or historically-inspired painting projects

Note: Original gloss finish adapted to satin or semi-gloss; other sheens available by special request.

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.
