What color paints used to contain lead? Did white?

Question

Today I was at a house that was built in 1968. I touched the painted region of a white door to the porch. The paint seemed to be in good condition. I do not know if the door had been around for as long as the house had been, if it had been repainted over, of if it was a new installment. Assuming that the door has been around from the house's construction, is it essentially a guarantee that it's been painted over, since then?

In eithercase, could any lead have been on this door? It was a sorta off-white color. If lead was on it, and if it was lead paint, could have have abraded off onto my hand simply from pushing against it to open it? I washed my hands immediately on getting home, but I'm afraid my steering wheel, light switches, and door k***s at my home might now be contaminated because I had to touch them. Is this possible?

Answer 1

if you had licked the entire doorframe it`s unlikely you would have picked up enough lead to make you sick.

Answer 2

all colors contained lead.

Relax, there is no way you picked even a tiny fraction of the amount of lead required to do damage.

You would have to spend 10 minutes chewing on the door and swallowing to get enough to hurt.
