Can you help us find original Pioneer Paint color samples and brochures - we are still searching. Do you have them in your closet or attic? Sunlight Yellow, Aqua, Palo Verde Blossom Yellow, Terra Brown, Sahuaro Green, and Sagebrush Green were “Made for the Southwest.” These sumptuous Sonoran desert colors were developed and manufactured by Tucson’s Pioneer Paint and Varnish Company during the Post-WWII era. These paints were used for trim and on interior walls of Tucson’s ever-expanding housing stock, creating a distinctive pallet that captured the spirit of Southern Arizona’s Mid-Century Modern aesthetic and became popular across the American Southwest.
