Since I have both the Bella color chart and the Lowes paint chips, I thought I would give everyone a match chart guess:
Heirloom Red 1010-3 chip-----closest to Bella Country Red #9900-17. (Slightly lighter than Barn Door #9900-113)
Roasted Chestnut Gold 3002-3A chip--closest to Saffron #9900-232 and Mustard #9900-213
Afternoon Tea Gold 3002-3B chip----closest to Goldenrod #9900-81
Winter Flannel Grey 4007-1C chip---closest to Steel #9900-184 and Platinum #9900-219
Autumn Fog Grey 4007-1B chip----closest to Bunny Hill Blue #9900-176
Divine Cream Neutral 7006-8 chip-----closest to Porcelain #9900-182
Italian Ice Neutral 7005-10 chip----closest to Ruby Ice #9900-169 and Breeze #9900-132
The Italian Ice chip was the surprise one to me, it is actually a VERY pale light blue/green--not a cream, tan, light gray neutral at all. There is not a great Bella match to it, but the palest blue or green you can find is the closest thing to it.
CAVEAT: everyone sees colors differently! None of the color chips are what I would call an exact match to any Bella swatch, but these are my best guesses based on my eyesight!!
Hope that helps everyone.
