Victorian color was often rich and layered. Homes used patterned wallpapers, painted wood, textiles, and metalwork in greens, reds, blues, and gold.
Bronze Green and Purple Red reflect documented interior colors. Arsenic Green recalls the bright 19th-century pigments once used in wallpaper, while Peacock Blue connects to Aesthetic Movement rooms and textiles.
Mauveine represents the new synthetic dyes that changed Victorian fashion after 1856.
Decorative Gold completes the palette with the warm detail used around dense patterns and ornament.
