Daffodil and Dandelion are yellows, Denim Blue is blue, and Desert Sand is a pale peach-beige. If you need a color beginning with D for a word puzzle, the full names above give you options across several color families.
Dark usually suggests a low-lightness shade, while dusty suggests a grayer, less vivid one. Deep does not always mean nearly black: Deep Pink is bright and saturated, unlike the much darker Dark Blue. Dusty Teal is a pale, grayish blue-green. Dusty Rose adds a muted pink option. Dark Orange and Deep Orange share #EE7600 in this collection, so they count as one swatch.
