An earthy taupe was called "Caca du Dauphin" but it has since been transmuted into the more polite "Dauphin". What I really want to see is the Fowler/Lancaster colour "Vomitesse de la Reine".

My daughter used Borrowed Light in her home, and it is wonderful. I spent a fortune on the little sample cans before I decided on mine, but you really need to see the color. Many that I had chosen from the chart turned out to be too dark. There is a richness to this paint that others don't seem to have.sophie dahy designsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-76681583212819327172009-11-04T08:31:07.811-05:002009-11-04T08:31:07.811-05:00Light Blue is my favorite...is it blue? grey?
