Slightly OT... Nice Color!

My wife and I have a room in our house with chair molding we are painting. So were looking through all the colors on the color sample thingy with names like 'kelp' and stuff to paint the bottom half of the room. Then I spot it, the perfect color.... 'red cent'!

Its really the color of a brilliant red cent. I wonder if the color picker at Sherwin Williams is a collector

If I named paint colors, I'd use some numismatic names for these colors.

For a fake bright red I'd call it "Cleaned, dipped copper."

For a dull, washed out bright gray that looks like a silver coin through the washing machine: " MS-66."
