1972 – Benjamin Moore Interior
Sandy Flat – Alkyd SANI-FLAT
Interior – 30 Colors
This 1972 Benjamin Moore brochure features Sandy 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 available upon request
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.
