Sandy Flat – Alkyd SANI-FLAT

Interior – 30 Colors

This 1972 Benjamin Moore brochure features Sani Flat, marketed under the Alkyd SANI-FLAT line for interior use. Unlike the growing latex dominance of the early 1970s, this was still an oil-based alkyd interior flat, offering durability with a traditional smooth finish.

The 30-color palette includes:

Crystal Blue, Bone White, Aqua, Silver Gray, Yellow Chiffon, Pedal Pink, Lemon Yellow
Cameo White, Ivory, Empire Gold, Spring Green, Dresden Blue, Willow Green

Many of these colors repeat or closely resemble shades found in other early-1970s Benjamin Moore lines, showing how manufacturers were consolidating and coordinating palettes across product types. The tones remain soft, muted, and pastel-leaning, consistent with the early 1970s interior aesthetic.

Finish:

Originally formulated as a flat alkyd (oil-based) interior paint, these colors can be offered in:

• Flat (historically accurate)

• Eggshell (modern preference option)

• Satin 

This brochure reinforces the early-1970s movement toward coordinated, subdued interiors with warm neutrals, softened blues and greens, and gentle yellows replacing the vivid mid-century brights.

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.
