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. I recently chose the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern exterior color “Beige” for the stucco exterior of my ’61 ranch.

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!
