|  The Mount Vernon Estate of Colours collection was created from the rich legacy of color of one of America's most historic and beloved homes. Inspired by the past, these rich and vibrant hues are as relevant and exciting today as they were more than two centuries ago. Mount Vernon and Fine Paints of Europe are honored to offer these colors that so inspired our nation's founding for use in fine American homes today.
Washington's diaries and letters reveal intricate details regarding his hands-on approach and passion for beautifying his home. The man who inspired a nation was himself inspired by beauty, design and bright, bold color. Nearly 30 of these colors are painstakingly duplicated directly from the Mansion's interior, while period artifacts are the inspiration for many more of the 120 colors in the Estate of Colours collection.
Washington once wrote a friend that he found the color green "pleasing to the eye." The colors of nature may have inspired the Father of Our Country to bring the green grass, trees, and bright blue sky into his living spaces. Now today's homeowners have the opportunity to create their own home's heritage from the rich colors of American history.
