    [En Suède], les maisons, construites en bois, à un seul étage, sont des parallélogrammes allongés et bas dont les murailles, peintes à l'oxyde de fer, en jaune, en bleu, en rouge surtout, revernies et passées au pinceau d'année en année, brillent d'un perpétuel éclat. C'est une variété de tons, une bigarrure universelle qui amuse l'œil sans satisfaire le goût. — (Albert Vandal, En karriole à travers la Suède et la Norwège, 1876)
