Rich Art Spectrum poster colors

1

This set of vintage poster paints by Rich Art Color Co. was found at Finders Keepers in York, PA in the winter of 2023. The packaging features a simple black and red ink color scheme on a white-coated paperboard.

According to Richartcolor.com, the company has been in operation since 1926 and started as a professional oil paints manufacturer.  In the 1960s, the company expanded to include classroom art supplies, and later began producing “products for the craft, specialty, and consumer niches.”
