1972 – Benjamin Moore Interior Regal
Regal Wall Satin – Deep Tones
Interior – 24 Colors
This 1972 Benjamin Moore brochure features Regal Wall Satin, described as a latex interior flat with an emphasis on deep tones. This line was designed to provide richer, more saturated wall colors while still maintaining the softer sheen levels popular in the early 1970s.
The primary deep-tone colors include:
Liberty Red, Yellow, Emerald, Green, Lexington Blue, Colonial Olive, Forest Green
Charcoal Brown, Royal Turquoise
From these base deep tones, Benjamin Moore offered letdowns — lighter variations or mixed reductions of the primary colors — allowing the full range to expand to 24 total colors within the brochure.
This reflects a key early-1970s trend:
-
Deeper, earthier core colors
-
Coordinated lighter companion shades
-
A move toward more intentional color systems rather than isolated hues
Finish:
Originally marketed as latex interior flat under the Regal Wall Satin name, these colors can be offered in:
-
Satin (primary historical branding emphasis)
-
Flat (as described in brochure text)
-
Eggshell
This brochure shows the shift toward richer, moodier interior palettes that would become increasingly dominant as the 1970s progressed.
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.
