I like what Sandi has done here. These are great suggestions. I like the alternative names for orange too. The beiges always work and it feels so good when you are in a room with these beiges.
In my other career long ago I loved do people's colors as far as makeup and clothing. It was so much fun but not in vogue now. When the person wore the wrong makeup or clothing they felt weak. I believe that these colors would appeal to everyone.
The colors inside a home make such a difference. Thank you Sandi for sharing this information.

Tinted Neutrals and Blackened Colors
It is the depth of the neutral that gives it life and longevity. Some good examples of current "beiges" from the Benjamin Moore series are:
- Willow (CC-542)
- Hillsborough (CC-330)
- Stampede (CC-540)
- Chocolate Fondue (CC-482)
And in the "grey" range we have:
- Metropolis (CC-546)
- Asphalt (CC-548)
This year it's all about Shine * Shimmer * Metallic finishes. The metallic finishes are warm gold tones. And wallpaper is back. If you are unsure or unconvinced, try it in a small room or under utilized area such as a powder room or dining room. Plaid is also making a comeback but the color combinations are much different.
Yellow and Purple are the #1 colors this year. For the best results when choosing purple, use:
- Camelot (CC-4)
- Muskoka Dusk (CC-6)
Orange is still HOT but we don't like to refer to it as such, instead using shades of Adobe Dust, Smoked Salmon and Tofino Sunset.
Matte paint finish on the the walls combined with a high gloss trim (Simply White OC 117) looks stunning.
