My friend Jenny moved on from that house, and since she’s an artist I’m guessing it was custom. But it reminds me of Sherwin-Williams Regatta – which will look darker because the sun adds yellow and washes it out: https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-8751877-15496318?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsamplize.com%2Fproducts%2Fregatta-6517-12×12
