California Paints is proud to release an authentic and documented historic color program which includes their new and exclusive 20th CenturyTM Colors of America color palette.
- (1888PressRelease) March 12, 2011 - Andover, MA - The quality manufacturer of paints, zero VOC coatings, and exterior stains has partnered with Historic New England to introduce the most authentic historic color collection ever created. Historic New England preservationists have partnered with the colorists at California Paints to provide historically accurate documentation for each color in the new palette. California Paints' historic color program truly represents authenticity in interior, exterior, and decorative color.
Historic New England is the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive regional heritage organization in the nation. They bring history to life while preserving the past for those interested in exploring the authentic New England experience from the seventeenth century to today. Historic New England has provided California Paints with supporting color documentation, including the use of color at the thirty-six historic home museums they operate. Historic New England Preservation Specialist Sally Zimmerman states, "In creating this palette, Historic New England has drawn solely from highly relevant architectural paint sources. Our twentieth century museum properties and our archives of twentieth-century paint and wallpaper documentation were the basis for pinpointing the actual use of these colors in the twentieth-century home."
California Paints' 20th Century Colors of America features 130 colors, including twelve off whites, and captures the vibrant tones and subtle shades of the past. Each color of the palette has its own unique and distinctive biography and includes the cultural themes that influenced its emergence in the nation's collective color history. All biographies can be read at California Paints' website, www.californiapaints.com.
"The 20th century palette is a road map to recreating the past through design", says Maryellen Mantyla, Director of Marketing for California Products Corporation. "Anyone looking to replicate an authentic interior or exterior color palette referencing the architectural styles of the twentieth century can do so with ease using this collection" adds Mantyla.
