L’harmonie des couleurs Pl.030

1880

Imagine planning a Victorian renovation with this sophisticated color guide! Édouard Guichard designed this plate to demonstrate a 'harmony of contrast,' showing exactly how to pair deep burgundy walls with sage green ceilings and wainscoting. The labels at the bottom reveal the blueprint: A for the ceiling, B for the cornice, C for the wall hanging, and D for the wood paneling. It’s essentially a 19th-century interior design mood board, proving that the French were obsessing over color coordination long before Pinterest existed.
