That's eye opening and so true about the makeup shades, re: comparing deeper colors to food and drink. Underwear too, when available in deeper colors (which are limited in time offered and range of styles).
My colors (medium-Eastern and Western European/Latina):
Foundation: "brandied peaches" also have used "warm honey". Toasted caramel, toffee, milk chocolate, butter brickle, cinnamon latte, espresso also available for med-dark skin.
For light skintones: variations on porcelain, ivory, rose, beige- but also almond and honey in there. They also have tan and olive (food again) shades.
Underwear: "cafe au lait" (Nubian), "pecan" (Wacoal). Pecan is discontinued as far as I can tell, Nubian no longer sold at Nordstrom.
Light Wacoal colors- rose smoke, rose dust, au natural (looks lighter than Celtic DH...), natural nude (see previous comment).
I am starting to see more numbered shades- Nude 1, 2... but 1 is always the lightest.
