This was architecture’s quintessential yellow until about 1940. Painting a building described at the time as “yellow” with today’s yellow instead of with such an ochre would, in fact, substantially change its impression. The color change would eliminate the warmth that emanates from this ochre, and this would rob the building of its ability to blend into the landscape. The natural pigment and the lightfastness of the paint explain why this sandy color continues to be a beloved choice for living spaces and exteriors.

"Their colors are just unbelievably beautiful, whether the sun is shining, or it's rainy weather, or night, with every play of light they look different again. Incredible."
