Roasted Chestnut Gold 3002-3A chip--closest to Saffron #9900-232 and Mustard #9900-213 (No real match)
Afternoon Tea Gold 3002-3B chip----closest to Goldenrod #9900-81 (Same)
Winter Flannel Grey 4007-1C chip---closest to Steel #9900-184 and Platinum #9900-219 (Steel)
Autumn Fog Grey 4007-1B chip----closest to Bunny Hill Blue #9900-176 (Zen Grey)
Divine Cream Neutral 7006-8 chip-----closest to Porcelain #9900-182 (Same)
Italian Ice Neutral 7005-10 chip----closest to Ruby Ice #9900-169 and Breeze #9900-132 (No real match - Much, much lighter Ruby Ice)
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. (Yes, I agree)

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.
LOL - Yes, I guess everyone does see colors differently. Maybe it is the light in my sewing room too! I have put the colors I got in blue. Most were the same as JeanneS. Love, love my Bella Color Chart! I love Bella Solids!
