Default CIM colors - which oldies are hot?

Opinions wanted! Which of the older CIM colors did you love and now are gone? I loved the pumpkin myself, even though I don't think it was popular. A friend is asking what older CIM colors are hot? He has some oldies and is moving so it trying to decide what he might sell to raise some dollars for the new place. He thinks tabby was a great color. It's a nice gray but didn't do anything for me.

Did I read here that butter pecan was discontinued?

Butter Pecan is discontinued but Kathy said they may offer it from time to time (i.e., if a batch of Ginger turns out like it).
Also discontinued are French Blue and Halong Bay.

Here's the Messy color archive list:

Algae
Butter Pecan #3
Butter Pecan #5
Dusk
Elphaba #2
Hollandaise
Mermaid #1
Pimento
Sepia #1
Slytherin #2

I loved the pumpkin too, it was a really pretty fall shade of orange.
