1.1 Applicability
The Historic District Code and Historic Design Guidelines
provide the opportunity for the Architectural Review Board
(ARB) to approve a palette of pre-approved paint colors
applicable to all buildings within the Architectural Review
District (Appendix F) as well as other outlying properties
identied on Appendix G that are under ARB’s purview. The
Historic Paint Colors document supplements the Historic
Design Guidelines providing further guidance to property
owners in selecting appropriate paint colors for the exterior
of their buildings based on time period and informed by
predominate architectural style and building type. The
building types and architectural styles correspond to those
outlined in the Historic Design Guidelines. The ARB adopts
the Historic Paint Colors document and may update the
pre-approved paint colors, from time to time, as deemed
necessary.
1.2 Process
The Historic Paint Colors establish an administrative process
for City sta to approve exterior paint modications provided
that the color(s) are selected from the pre-approved paint
colors list and deemed architecturally appropriate based
on date of construction, architectural style, and building
type. In making a determination, Sta should determine the
time period for construction along with the predominate
architectural style and building type to identify eligible
exterior paint colors for a specic building. A property owner
may select from the eligible paint colors and request a
determination of appropriateness (approval) from Sta. Sta
may forward any request for approval of a pre-approved
paint color to ARB for their consideration. In making a
determination to forward a request, Sta may conclude the
proposed color(s) is not architecturally appropriate, raises
broader community-eects, or is inconsistent with the
Historic Design Guidelines and guidance provided herein.
Should sta and a property owner be unable to come to a
mutual agreement regarding paint color(s) then the paint
color(s) request should be forwarded to the ARB for review as
a Minor Project Review. If an applicant proposes a paint color
or manufacturer that Sta determines to be highly similar to
a pre-approved color, sta may administratively approve an
equal substitute. Property owners do not have to use a specic
paint manufacturer, but rather a specic color identied by
coded letters and numbers. If an applicant proposes a paint
color that is not pre-approved or does not agree with Sta’s
determination of appropriateness, the request should be
forwarded to ARB as a Minor Project Review. Maintenance of
existing paint colors (i.e. repainting a building like-for-like) is
permitted without review.
1.0 Introduction
1.3 General Guidance
The paint color(s) of a building is an important consideration
that aects the building’s overall character and the
surrounding buildings in a historic area. Some paint colors are
more appropriate than others, depending upon the building
age, style, materials, setting, and application.
This document identies paint color(s) available at particular
times in history. It is important to note that not every paint
color available during a period of time is appropriate for every
building to the period of time. Paint colors will be determined
based on the time period, as well as the architectural style or
building type identied.
Included in this document are traditional paint colors by time
period and applicable lists of recommended paint colors for a
building’s body, trim, doors, and shutters. A timeline provides
a visual representation of concurrent architectural styles and
building types throughout time. Paint colors within each
time period identify the recommended application whether
that be on the body, trim, windows, doors, etc. of a particular
building constructed during that period.
A property owner should select a paint color that
complements surrounding buildings and contributes to the
visual interest/diversity of the street in alignment with the
Historic Paint Color recommendations. Property owners are
strongly encouraged to select a paint color scheme that is not
determined to be highly similar to either adjacent building
or the building immediately across the street. Paint colors
should not be selected based on current architectural trends/
themes, but rather on timeless historic inuences. Continuity
and compatibility are encouraged over making a bold design
statement.
If a primary building material, like brick, stone, or other
natural material like wood shingles etc., is not painted, it
should remain unpainted. Paint colors should be selected to
complement these natural materials, highlighting the quality
and character. Building paint colors selected for body trim,
doors, and shutters should not exceed three per building
unless determined architecturally appropriate. Bright colors
should be reserved for accents only. Please refer to the
Historic Design Guidelines for additional recommendations
regarding preservation, rehabilitation, and new construction.
Please note that dierent computer monitors and printers
will vary in the rendering of a color. The best way to select
a color is through an actual paint chip and then a sample to
test on each wall of the building since the sun will aect the
color at dierent times of day.

2.0 Years from 1780 – 1820
2.1 Architectural Trends
As early settlers moved to the Dublin area, they brought
prevailing architectural styles and building types with them
from other areas of the country as well as from their native
countries. In many cases, these trends were modied based on
available technology and building materials. Buildings of this
period often remained unpainted, especially in rural settings.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, there is
more documentary evidence concerning painting practices.
Detailed records of shop practices, account books, as well as
painters’ guides and pamphlets support this information. It
is important to remember that there was no pre-mixed paint
in this era. Rather, skilled craftsmen mixed colors by hand
using a variety of pigments, oils, lead, varnish, turpentine,
and sizing (distemper).
Architectural styles in this time period include:
No Academic style – Vernacular
Federal Style (1800-1840)
Building types in this time period include:
Hall and Parlor (1800-1870)
2.2 Recommended Paint Colors
Traditionally, the body of the house was painted a white or
light hue and stronger, darker colors were delegated to the
doors and trim work (Abbot Lowell Cummings and Richard
M. Candee, “Colonial and Federal America Accounts of Early
Painting and Practices,” in Moss 1994, 30-41). Dark red, also
known as Spanish brown, was used for exterior details such
as windows, doors, gutters, coving, cornices, and lean-to
additions. Green, chocolate, mahogany, or stone were also
used for window shutters. Black was commonly used for shop
doors, shutters, and signs to form a background for gilding
the name, trade, or street number of the shop.
Body
Various shades of white, o-white, cream, straw, gray, or
beige are appropriate. Pea-green, slate, and red could also be
used. After 1810, colors such as light blue/grey, grey-brown
tan, ochre, and yellow became available.
Trim
White or o-white.
Doors and Shutters
Dark green, charcoal, or black. Hardwood doors may also be
varnished or grained instead of painted.

3.0 Years from 1821 – 1860
3.1 Architectural Trends
The period between the 1820s and the Civil War was one of
great growth and change in the United States, and the village
of Dublin continued to grow as well. And with this growth
came the need for housing as well as commercial buildings. In
many cases, these buildings were oriented toward the street
and adapted to the smaller, narrow lots of the developing
urban area. The rear of the lot could be accessed by alleys.
And a side-hall plan became popular to t needed rooms
and spaces on these narrow lots (Maycock, 5-6). In rural areas,
however, there was an emphasis on sprawling, irregular plans
and wide porches (McAlester, 196-210),
While stone and brick masonry continued to be used as a
building material, wood construction soon surpassed these
traditional materials. One reason was the development of
balloon framing after ca. 1840. This construction technique
replaced earlier heavy-timber framing with dimensioned
lumber, machine-produced nails, and an outer sheathing of
boards to create a lighter building that could be built quickly.
And the lighter framing allowed for more innovation in the
interior spaces (Maycock, 6).
Architectural styles in this time period include:
No Academic style – Vernacular
Federal Style (1800-1840)
Greek Revival (1835-1860)
Gothic Revival (1835-1880)
Romanesque Revival (1850-1905)
Italianate (1850-1880)
Building types in this time period include:
Hall and Parlor (1800-1870)
I-House (1820-1890)
Saltbox (1820-1900)
Four-over-Four (1825-1870)
3.2 Recommended Paint Colors
Paints were still mixed by a skilled craftsman from natural
pigments, oil, and ground lead. These pigments were largely
from carbon-based materials such as lampblack, charcoal,
and burnt animal bone (boneblack) and were used to create
gray and black shades of paint. Red iron oxide (rust) and red
ocher (from mineral deposits) made browns and red-browns.
Yellow iron oxide and yellow ocher made yellow shades, and
calcium carbonates made whites.
Greek Revival (typ. 1824-1860) homes during this period
painted the body of the house light colors such as white,
stone grey, straw, cream, and o-white with black or green
shutters, doors, and sash.
After 1840, architecture became more eclectic and many
dierent styles and building types could appear at the
same. Andrew Jackson Downing’s pattern book, Cottage
Residences (1842) was one of the rst eorts to provide
colors to complement the style of architecture. According to
Downing, “The color of buildings may very properly be made to
increase their expression of truthfulness. Thus a barn or stable,
being regarded entirely in a useful point of view, may have a
quiet, unobtrusive tone of color, while a cottage or villa should
be of a cheerful mellow hue harmonizing with the verdue of the
country. A mansion may very properly have a graver color than
a cottage, to be in unison with its greater dignity and extent.
(Downing, 13)”
For Greek Revival and Italianate (typ. 1840-1885) homes
white was considered entirely unsuitable and in bad taste
as well as bright green for the shutters—a cool dark green
was preferred. The color card published with Cottage
Residences included three shades of gray and three shades
of fawn (yellow/tan) for the exterior of buildings (Downing,
14-15). Darker, dignied colors were used on large homes,
while lighter, livelier shades were used for small cottages.
Other popular colors included sand, straw, earth, slate, and a
delicate palette of grays, yellows, and tans (Moss, 1981).
Later in the period, more colors appeared and contrasts
became stronger, including colors such as russets, olives,
gray-greens, ochers, and browns in combinations. And
towards the end of the period, common paint colors were
mass-produced and mass-marketed in resealable cans. A
wider range of colors included pastels such as rose, peach,
terracotta and olive as well as deeper and more saturated
colors (Moss 1981).
Body
White or o-white, or stone colors such as greys, pale blue
greys, grey browns, or tans. Other colors for the main body
of the house include straw colors such as ochres and yellow.
After 1840, traditional stone and earth colors were used –soft
and naturalistic to blend in with the building’s surroundings.
At the end of the period, two shades of the same color could
be used, with the lighter shade usually for the trim.
Trim
White or o-white or cream. After 1840, white trim was
seldom used. Often a darker shade of the body color or vice
versa if the body was a darker shade. At the end of the period,
trim was usually a lighter shade of the body.
Doors and Shutters
Dark green or black with black window trim. After 1840,
the body, trim, and windows were often painted in three
increasingly darker shades of the same color. At the end of
CITY OF DUBLIN, OHIO HISTORIC PAINT COLORS

3.0 Years from 1821 – 1860
the period, windows, doors, and shutters were black or very
dark green. Shutters were sometimes a very dark shade of
the body color.

4.0 Years from 1861 – 1890
4.1 Architectural Trends
The population of the United States doubled between 1860
and 1890, and with it the building trades and the companies
that supplied the trades grew. Many dierent architectural
styles arose across the country with the advent of the railroad
and the ability to mass-produce building materials. Railroads
swelled across the country from 1850 to 1890 and were used
to quickly and cheaply move lumber across the country.
Large lumber yards arose in new towns and supplied lumber
for homes and businesses built of light balloon or braced
framing covered with wood sheathing. While traditional,
vernacular building forms remained, these light framing
techniques also led to the development of new building
forms (McAlester, 88-90).
And, major innovations in the production and distribution
of paint occurred at this time as well. The rst ready-made
paints became available around 1870 due to new technology
such as the development of machinery to grind pigment into
white lead and oil and resealable cans to contain and ship the
paint. Other innovations included a transportation network
of railways and the mass-production of advertising brochures
made possible by inexpensive paper and high-speed steam
presses. Advances in the chemical industry also expanded the
range of available chemically-based pigments (Maycock, 11;
moss, 10-15). Pattern books and trade catalogues supplying
products such as tile, millwork, and paint, helped standardize
architectural styles, building forms, and paint colors across
the country. As Moss notes:
By the 1880s, a house built in Central City, Colorado, or in
Zanesville, Ohio, would probably share stylistic characteristics
and would certainly be painted in the same color palettes of
greens, olives, grays, yellows, and browns — colors, much darker
and richer than those advocated by the pre-Civil War generation
of architects. (Moss,1981, 11).
Architectural styles in this time period include:
No Academic style – Vernacular
Gothic Revival (1835-1880)
Romanesque Revival (1850-1905)
Italianate (1850-1880)
Queen Anne (1880-1905)
Building types in this time period include:
Hall and Parlor (1800-1870)
I-House (1820-1890)
Saltbox (1820-1900)
Four-over-Four (1825-1870)
Gabled Ell (1865-188)
4.2 Recommended Paint Colors
While the light, muted colors of Downing were popular at the
beginning of this period, technological advances brought
about new paint colors. Greens, oranges, rose, peach,
terracotta, olive, and natural earth tones become popular.
Windows were often painted dark colors, such as deep red,
chocolate brown, dark green, olive, dark grey, or black, which
often gave them the appearance of receding into the façade.
Shutters were usually painted a dark color, but a shade
slightly lighter than the windows.
As the period progressed, there was also a growing emphasis
on materials, texture, mass, volume, and structure, and an
assortment of paint colors could be used. The body, trim, and
sash were always dierent colors — sometimes four or ve
paint colors were popular to distinguish various elements of
the building. And dark colors that might have used as trim
colors earlier are now being used for the main body of the
house (Moss 1981).
Body
White, o-white, cream, or another light, earth tone color
such as ochre or wheat. Later in the period, one or two strong
colors were used — usually dierent colors for clapboards
and shingles
Trim
A color between the body and the dark trim that unied the
shades on the house. Usually, a dierent accent color was
used for decorative features.
Windows
Usually the darkest color on the house. Dark green, olive,
deep brown, black, deep red, maroon, chocolate, deep
umber, and dark gray were popular.

5.0 Years from 1891 – 1940
5.1 Architectural Trends
The years between 1891 and 1940 were an eclectic period
drawing upon a wide variety of architectural trends from
Classical, Medieval, Colonial, and Modern architecture. By the
end of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth
century, architectural trends began to turn to the simpler
lines inspired by the American colonial past. This started after
the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition and the 100th anniversary
of the American Revolution. The trend was further promoted
by the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. This
interest in the past was not only directed at the early English
houses of the east coast, but also Dutch homes. Details from
two or more of these early styles, such as Georgian, Federal,
or Dutch Colonial architecture, were freely combined to
create an eclectic mix of buildings that paid less attention
to scale and proportion and more emphasis on details
(McAlester, 320-326). In some areas of the country, Spanish
or French Colonial elements were revived. As such, there was
a tremendous variety in architectural trends in terms of scale,
level of details, and interpretation of elements.
However, an emphasis on more modern styles began around
1900 with Craftsmen architecture. It was inspired by the
English Arts and Crafts movement and became popular in the
United States through the work of Charles Sumner Greene and
Henry Mather Greene, who practiced in California from 1893
to 1914. Their designs were featured in popular magazines
such as House Beautiful, Good Housekeeping, and Ladies
Home Journal, as well as trade magazines such as Western
Architect, The Architect, and Architectural Record. Pattern
books and mail-order house catalogs followed, both of which
helped spread the style across the country. The style shared
many features with the concurrent Prairie style popular in the
Midwest, such as massive square or rectangular piers used
to support porch roofs, geometric patterns of small-paned
window glazing over single sashes, centered roof dormers,
and wood doors with vertical panels (McAlester, 438-443;
452-55).
Craftsman homes also emphasized low, horizontal lines
and a design that became part of its natural setting. Wide
projecting eaves, overhanging gables with exposed rafters,
open porches with heavy square porch piers (often on
top of masonry bases) give these homes a sense of solid
construction. Elements of the style combined with the Prairie
style to produce a two-and a half-story variant with a hipped
roof or pyramidal roof, centered dormer in the roof, and a
square plan which became known as the American Four-
square house. And simple, one-story vernacular examples
were often called bungalows.
Another modern style of this period was Art Deco, which was
popular in commercial and public buildings from around
1920 to 1940. Much of the style was inuenced by elements
in popular culture and technological advances, such as the
design of skyscrapers, ships, airplanes, and automobiles.
However, it was extremely rare in residential architecture
(McAlester, 464-466).
Architectural styles in this time period include:
No Academic style – Vernacular
Queen Anne (1880-1905)
Colonial Revival (1895-present)
Craftsman/Arts & Crafts (1900-1925)
French Colonial/Norman Revival (1910-1940)
Art Deco (1927-1940)
Building types in this time period include:
Four-over-Four (1825-1870)
Bungalow (1905-1930)
Cape Cod (1920-1950)
5.2 Recommended Paint Colors
The beginning of this period saw the use of white, o-
white, and softer pastels such as grey and yellows. Popular
colors include ochre, yellow, tan, gray, blue, and green. The
windows should be the same color as the trim, usually white
or o-white. If the home had a garage, it should be painted
the same color as the main house.
However, in later buildings, a wider range of paint choices
was popular, especially rustic earth tones of the Arts and
Crafts movement such as brown, russet, dark beige, dark
green, red, olive, and dark grey. Like in earlier periods, these
earth tones help integrate the building with its natural
materials and its surroundings. As Gustave Stickley notes his
Craftsman Homes (1909):
In this case the walls are treated with a pigment that gives a soft
warm creamy tone, almost a biscuit color, and the roof is dull
red — a scheme that is excellently suited to the prevailing color
in California or in the South, where yellows, browns, and violets
abound. For the coloring of the northern or eastern landscape,
the cement walls might either be left in the natural gray, or
given a tone of dull green, which, applied unevenly, gives an
admirable eect upon rough cast plaster….In fact the design
shown here is chiey suggestive in its nature, making clear the
fundamental principles of the Craftsman house and leaving
room for such variations of detail as the owner may desire (
Stickley, 11).

5.0 Years from 1891 – 1940
For more simpler structures reminiscent of farmhouses,
Stickley suggests:
In this building the clapboards are unusually broad and thick,
giving the walls a sturdy appearance of permanence. They may be
pine, cedar, or cypress, and may be stained or painted according
to individual taste and the character of the environment. If the
house is to be rather dark and quiet in color, the boards might
be given a thin stain of moss green or brown;…a good eect
would be obtained by painting the timbers of the framework
light cream so that the structural features are strongly accented
(Stickley, 39).
Body
Early in the period, white, o-white, pale yellow, light blue,
grey, light green, and tan colors were popular. Later, this
palette expanded to include earth-tones such as beige,
browns, olives, greens, dark red colors.
Trim
Early in the period, white or o-white was popular. Later,
cream, beige, browns, olives, greens, and dark red colors
could be used.
Windows and Shutters
Early in the period, shutters were dark green or black. As the
period progressed, a third color similar to the body and trim
could be used.

6.0 Years from 1941 – 1990
6.1 Architectural Trends
Few residential and commercial buildings were constructed
during World War II while the country focused its production
on war-time industries and buildings related to the war eort.
Wartime shortages of building supplies, including wood,
rubber, steel, iron, and aluminum led builders to use alternate
materials and building practices such as concrete without the
unusual reinforcement, berglass, glued laminated timber,
and plywood. And following the war, traditional building
materials such as brick and stone remained in short supply.
However, new materials were readily available, such as
gypsum board which replaced plaster and lath, and extruded
aluminum which was used in windows, doors, and siding
(Grey & Pape, 109-111). And when home building resumed
after the war, houses based on historical precedent (with one
exception) were largely abandoned in favor of new modern
styles which just appeared before the war and used new,
modern materials (McAlester, 447).
The Cape Cod was the rst post-war housing type to occur
in large numbers throughout the county. The type refers
back to the eighteenth-century wood clapboard homes of
New England and was an extension of the Colonial Revival
homes of the early twentieth century. The Cape Cod often
had symmetrical massing, one to one-and-a-half stories with
gable dormers, a centered entry with transoms, sidelights, and
possibly a pediment, simple side-gable roofs, and classically
inspired trim. This aordable house type accounted for much
of the low- and moderate-incoming housing built during
the 1940s and early 1950s. And these new homes used a
combination of traditional and new building materials, such
as wood clapboard siding or asbestos siding, wood sash
windows or aluminum-frame picture windows, and plaster
and lath or gypsum board walls (Grey and Pape, 120-121;
McAlester, 477-478).
Ranch houses originated in the mid-1930s California and
gained in popularity in the 1940s to become the dominant
style throughout the country in the 1950s and 1960s. The
popularity of this rambling style was made possible in part
due to the country’s increased dependence on the automobile
and new sprawling suburbs. The Ranch house maximized
façade width along the street and usually included a built-in
garage or carport (McAlester, 479; Grey and Pape, 121-122).
The Split-Level style house was an adaptation of the Ranch
that separated the formal, informal, and sleeping areas of
the house. The upper level contained the bedrooms, the
mid-level the entry with the main living, dining and kitchen
areas, and the lower level with an informal recreation area.
The advent of the television created the need for an informal,
family room placed away from the quiet areas of the house
and with direct access to the entry and the outdoor patio.
And by placing the entry and stairs in the middle of the
building, all areas could be reached from the front entrance
(Walker, 262-265). The Split-Level house typically featured
a combination of exterior materials, including brick, wood,
vinyl or aluminum siding, or a combination of these materials
(Grey and Pape, 122-123).
Architectural styles in this time period include:
No Academic style – Vernacular
Modern (1945-1990)
Building types in this time period include:
Cape Cod (1920-1950)
Ranch (1940-1970)
Split Level (1950-1980)
6.2 Recommended Paint Colors
This period saw a wide array of paint colors that coincide
with a wide variety of styles of architecture. Light and bright
colors such as white can be popular as well as earth tones
or blue hues. Many times, colors were chosen to highlight
natural materials such as stone or wood. While exterior colors
could range from medium-dark cold pastels such as blues
and greys to warm brownish shades or whites. Bright warm
colors or cool colors were chosen as an accent color on the
doors or trims (if present).
Body
Browns, olives, reddish-brown, grays, and beiges.
Trim
Black or dark gray, dark purple, olive, dark brown, medium
brown, and reddish orange.
Accents
Bright Orange, bright yellow, and turquoise.

7.0 Years from 1991 – Present
7.1 Architectural Trends
Since 1991, architecture tends to be eclectic, drawing upon
styles and building forms of the past. Popular styles include
Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival,
and Italianate style homes. Building forms vary from the
I-House, Saltbox, Gable Ell, Bungalow, and Cape Code of
the past, but with modern conveniences such as mud
rooms, laundry rooms, and attached garages. As such, paint
colors appropriate to the style of architecture can be used
as well as more modern colors. Color palettes currently in
fashion that are not based in history should not be selected.
The selected color palette for new construction should
contribute to the diversity of color along the street and not
replicate the color palette of a neighboring building.
