Linseed oil paint manor yellow

In the 18th century, yellow became the color of the new mansions and it also became common on the plastered buildings of the cities. Of course, in the 19th century, the common wooden houses followed suit. When the color red became too common to confer status, wealthier city dwellers chose to clad their houses in wood paneling and linseed oil paint them yellow with grey details. At first, only the street facade might be painted, but eventually the whole house was painted yellow, while the outbuildings often retained their fake red color.

Traditionally, yellow houses were painted in a milder yellow color than what we often see today. With tradition in mind, we have therefore developed a manor yellow color that gives your facade a beautiful, warm and soft feeling.
