I recently chose the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern exterior color “Beige” for the stucco exterior of my ‘61 ranch. I have to say that I was really disappointed in how that color ended up looking painted on as compared with the color chip on the card. It actually looks like ladies’ makeup; very pinky peachy, not really beige at all. I had my primer tinted that color and I ended up switching to another color for the top coat (Realist Beige, which is, as the name implies, more of a true beige). Just thought I’d share that, in case anyone was considering using that color.

Pam…I wanted to let you know that I went to Sherwin Williams then ran down to API (the place with the color swatches from every car and appliance ever made) and compared “Apple Blossom” to their charts. Apple Blossom is dead-on Tappan Pink! It was also very very close to Mayfair Pink. You’ve got a good eye, sister! By the way, you just have to see the color choices for a ‘57 Lincoln!
