His back upper deck was those two colors anyway. He probably just
matched them. Hopefully he washed all that and let it dry before
he painted over dirt. Paint won't last long if he didn't.

Funny about paint color names. Every so many years, paint stores
put out new color decks (free to contractors and decorators but
about $10 to homeowners). Same colors but different names. Some
new employee tries to make the colors sound more appealing.

Benjamin Moore Paints, for example, also names paint colors by
region.
I remember seeing 2 exact color cards, same color but named
differently to appeal to the region.

In New England, one color was named and sold as "Cape Cod Blue."
For Virginia, the same color was named, "Williamsburg Blue."

It's just mind games.
