Changed in an unknown year

House Painting - Interior used to have originally an outline of a broad paintbrush. Later, Vocational category was completely retired and labeled as antique. During this time, the patches were produced with a gray background. This is the example seen here with Masonry. The Vocational category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background. It was changed to color and a roller paintbrush.
