This was fun…
I love 50s lifestyle 😭😭😭
So much exposition and build up. Get on with it!
Does the Colorizer Album come in PDF format? Asking for a friend.
we dont have color choices in appliances anymore
It’s all very… proper
i was planning to buy a house and never told anyone, and youtube recommended this to me.
I guess I didn’t quite realize how dark and 70s like the 50s color schemes were.
Others: I wish I could go live in this era
Me: That kitchen is fucking ugly, thank god I don’t live in a time where Salmon is considered trendy
This so charming and naive…. I miss that simple time.
<3
I love how she is dressed. To buy paint no less.
This is quite fabulous! I wish I had that book. Everything would still be in style today, except for actually having carpet, and the Formica countertops. But Mid-century modern is totally in fashion today. That’s why I am here for ideas! Yay!
Pinterest color palettes today are white with a splash of light grey.
I’m watching this on a 1956 black and white TV and I don’t understand a thing…
Ok so color was only invented in the 50’s?🤔 Um…no.
Oh my gosh! Gloves too!
this actually inspired me to pick out new colours for my room
i feel as if i can now sell lead-based paint to sexy housewifes and really do the colorizer company proud.
I want her clothes
Good lord those fabrics
Wow, that style still holds today.
Colorizer: Has a million colors. Me: I’m just gonna paint my walls white. 😂
Were the 1950s as boring as this video ?
Están renovando todo. Esto es como cuándo uno descubre un tesoro. Ellos descubrieron las comunicaciónes .(lon distancia) ,y le están vendiendo tecnología a otros países. Hay dólares para pagar hasta las malas miradas.
They had some of the theory down in the 50’s, but not all of it. just because a color is complementary doesn’t mean you should paint your living room vomit orange. You can do maybe one wall, but not all of them, thats just too much. Your home should not insult your senses, because there definitely can be too much color. So maybe dont get that pink toilet or teal kitchen cabinets.
i had to speed this up to 1.25 because of the tedious speed at which the narrator drones on. almost sounds normal sped up
it’s so 1950s – the idea that taste must be prescribed
most of those looks were very dreary and unimaginative
They had it worked out far better 70 years ago.
I love the kitchen at 8:15!
Long live those times of values and gorgeous clothes ,home decor and well made things,,love it so,and escape from our own times
well, you lived there in America, fattened, sorted out colors,
and in the Soviet Union at that time, we had 3 paints: white, black and red …
Beautiful I like the colors of the 50ths it is cute and charming the most beautiful colors that I like is pastel colors very soft clean and easy I have this colors in my home and out side and all from the 50ths thanks gr Jeffrey ☘️🌞☕😘🌴.
We sure went downhill after 1965.
the time when people actually had TASTE
So nice to stumble upon this video. I’m a color fiend. I get distracted by colors– swatches in the paint aisle, and so on. Plus, the educational films like this have a certain charm to them … that would be perfect fodder for an MST3K treatment. 🙂
In case you don’t get it the first time, don’t worry, they’ll repeat themselves every 10 seconds or less.
That shiny paint is probably lead paint😬
That colorizor is really advanced stuff.
the statement that colors were a luxury for the dwellings of people in the past, was a shocking revelation i can’t help not thinking about now
Love the dress, hat and earrings ❤️❤️
There is no color revolution right now. We suck.
They went overboard with this stuff

Why do we insist on decorating our homes with the same colors and industrial type of furniture like we have in our offices? How and why did this trend start?
Glad it modernized, but the colors and styles are chaotic! 😬
Did she just paint wallpaper? Love this video….
If you genuinely don’t know what you’re doing, or are somewhat style challenged, this is 100% valid & useful advice today; 50’s styling is always in fashion so you could even copy some of the schemes! Thanks so much for the upload, this is wonderful.
Am I the only one who couldn’t believe she just painted the wallpaper? It took me a couple of days to peel my wallpaper off when I repainted a room years ago. Swore I would never use wallpaper again
All the colors & variety yet indoctrinated any person with melanin ok
