HeritageVillage paints are carefully made in small batches with naturally-occurring,ground-in pigments in the same way the 18^th and 19^thcentury paints were created by early American craftsmen. We use no dyes at any time during the manufacturing process; rather, we select the finest earth pigments, which are very stable and immune to heat and moisture.

The colors of the Heritage Village line are taken from surviving examples of the Colonial and Victorian periods such as those seen on pieces in the Colonial Williamsburg and Sturbridge Village Massachusetts collections. Importantly, our color samples were taken from protected areas such as behind removed hardware or on thicker paint drips under chest lids, or sides of the drawers. Our colors therefore are not the pale shades derived from centuries of wear, sunlight and grime, but the authentic vibrant colors that were used by decorators of the 18^th and 19^thcenturies.

The full line of Heritage Village Colors paints includes our original oil based formulas, our acrylic latex paints, simulated milk paints, and woodtone stains in paste. For added protection, all of our paints contain mildewcide.
