Classic brownstone interior paint color?
Awhile back, either on this site or apartmenttherapy.com, there was a discussion about a classic brownstone interior paint color – essentially, what brownstone interiors were painted 100 years ago. It is a very warm color, bordering on a rich, yet light yellow. Anyone recall the name – I believe it’s a Benjamin Moore.

this is pretty cool
That’s the way to go for the arts and crafts era look of one hundred years ago. But you have more freedom than you think. Because one hundred years ago also started getting into the Edwardian era and things got lighter. The Victorian brownstone look became unfashionable among the fashionable. They painted woodwork. They used cooler colors on walls and more colorful prints on upholstery.
Elsie de Wolfe did a lot to usher this in. She loathed dark Victorian brownstones (there’s a great quote from her in a book I have I’d have to find). On her Wikipedia page there is a photo of one of her rooms in color so you can see the wall and trim paint colors:

Her designs were my inspiration for our 1910 house, not the Victorian or arts and crafts look. Anyway, long story short there were a few different things going on in interiors then. Not just one thing.
The 1917 Colour Chart on that oldhousecolors.com site seems like it might be the most definitive authority.
Last week, I finished painting my first and second floor halls and stairway with a Benjamin Moore color called Beverly Hills, which looks very close to “Cream” in that chart:
