I have a sequel to the Benj Moore paint question.

I was in my local hardward store today, which is also a Benny Moore outlet.
On the swatch board (Historic colors) was still Card# 065 which has on it
light green #638 (now called pure essensce) and Card #063 which includes
#630 (martha's vineyard). So those colors are still out there. They are what
I used to match the Park Ridge depot colors. They are the colors I used for
my basement doorways.

I'm not selling anything. Just so others can judge via their own tastes, I'm
sending two photos from my own application. I was reeducated just now to the
difficulties of digital color, because it took a lot of fussing with white
balance and exposure to get a shot that accurately represented the colors as
they are to the eyeball.

BTW, if anyone wants to tweak the dark green, there is always Garden
Cucumber (644) or Steamed Spinach (643). I think I just heard Eleazor Lord
crying from his grave that Benny Moore should just have stayed with its
numerical system.
