36 Colors

This 1961 Benjamin Moore catalog entry features Alkyd SANI-FLAT, an interior flat paint line with 36 colors. The palette includes muted mid-century shades such as Pedal Pink, Antique Pearl, Lemon Yellow, Pavilion Blue, Aqua, Willow Green, Apricot, Ivory, Honey Beige, Colonial Green, Mayfair, Base Copper, Spruce Green, and Flame. These colors reflect the subdued interior tones popular in the early 1960s, offering a softer and more restrained aesthetic compared to earlier bright palettes.

Originally flat oil-based, these colors are offered in flat or eggshell, with satin available by special request, allowing for modern usability while maintaining historical authenticity.

Ideal for:

• Interior walls and ceilings in early 1960s homes

• Period-accurate mid-century interior color schemes

• Restoration or historically-inspired painting projects

Note: Flat finish preserved; eggshell standard; satin available by special request.

Color Matching & Sample Disclaimer

We define our historic color matches as identical in hue and formulation. Each 8 oz sample is produced in our standard match grade to accurately represent the color.

Due to differences between paint products and finishes, the same color may vary slightly when produced in other grades or sheens.

Higher-grade paint options are available for final applications, just as with full home orders.

Upgrade for Best Results

Your sample represents the color. Your final paint determines the finish.

For full projects, we recommend upgrading to a higher-performance paint line for superior coverage, durability, and overall appearance—especially on exteriors and detailed trim.
