Looking for help on paint scheme for a Magnolia gas station, circa late teens to 20s. I've seen restored stations (same building) online. I'm curious the accuracy of their color scheme for the time period.
Need help on actual shades/color names too.

Are your sure they painted all their stations the same? Stations had just came into vogue in the late teens and many were owned by the local distributors of the products.

Hey Jack. I'm sure of nothing, sadly. I do know that the old paint on the doors and windows is green, which is the same as I've seen at other stations. There's red and white on the bricks, but it also shut down while under Mobile. Not sure if the red was added then, or any other paint changed.
