1951 - Benjamin Moore Enamel

14 Colors

This 1951 Benjamin Moore catalog entry features Impervo Enamel, a durable high-gloss paint for both interior and exterior applications. The 14-color palette includes vivid mid-century shades such as Sunset Orange, Brilliant Red, Turquoise Blue, Aqua Green, Cream, Ocean Coral, and Daffodil Yellow, among others. These tones were popular for walls, woodwork, trim, and other surfaces, reflecting the dynamic design trends of the early 1950s.

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

Ideal for:

• Interior and exterior applications in 1950s homes

• Homes seeking bright, authentic mid-century colors

• Restoration or period-accurate 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.
