These 1930s paint colours have a delicacy and tranquillity, as can be seen in Bone China Blue and Beauvais Lilac. These particular colours are sophisticated and easy-to-live-with, commonly used on properties where a softer scheme is needed. The recent resurgence of strong warm colours has led to the exciting use of Middle Buff as a highlight for many contemporary interiors, inspired by 1930s paint schemes.
