I have three: Pratt & Lambert's Nickle, Tobacco Road mixed 25%, and an old Martha Stewart color, Pemetic Trail.

As a general rule, I don't do the cutting formulas thing -- it's a bad plan overall. However, 25% Tobacco Road is an exception.

Emerald green is purportedly "in." My favorite paint color is Farrow and Ball Red Earth. I am reasonably certain that it's not in. I'm pretty keen on Picture Gallery Red, too.

Farrow and Ball - I have a few from there too! Tallow and Blue Ground. :)

And as far as what's in - it's definitely all about near-neutrals. Like, super close to a true neutral gray. Near neutrals have always been, and will always be, popular. It's just right now, the colors that are closest to a neutral gray are the most popular.

(asking for favorite colors is like asking which kid is the favorite)
