1935 Patton’s Sun-Proof Exterior
1935 – Exterior Colors
24 Historically Documented Colors
This 1935 brochure from the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company features Patton’s Sun-Proof Paint, an exterior oil-based paint formulated to withstand sunlight and weather. The 24 colors reflect the 1930s exterior palette, which favored muted but durable tones suitable for wood, siding, and trim. Typical shades included deep greens, warm browns, brick reds, soft yellows, and grays, providing period-accurate, weather-resistant finishes.
Originally formulated in gloss, these colors are now offered in satin or semi-gloss. Customers may request eggshell for a softer finish by contacting us directly.
These colors are ideal for:
- Authentic restoration of 1930s-era homes
- Exterior woodwork, siding, and trim color schemes
- Modern homes seeking period-correct exterior palettes
Note: Original gloss sheen is supplied as satin or semi-gloss; eggshell is available on special request.
