I thought you were slipping one fake one into every line, there, but no. How green is Hastings? What colour is a kraken?

They are all real shades of paint by Crown. Or at least, were 20 years ago.

Hastings Green is a brighter shade of green than Rain Forest or Ponderosa Pine. Unfortunately, Canary Green is missing, so I cannot compare how green Hastings Green is compared to Canary Green.

Kraken is a grey-purple kind of colour. More lilacy than Victoria Grey, and lighter than Evening Iris.

What colour are walls painted now, in 2010? Magnolia and nothing but magnolia?

I painted one of my walls with "swanky".
