No, the only thing that would make sense would be to shift the handful of truly
"cool" colors toward the warmer end of the spectrum.  That way {[NO]} colors
would look good next to the bleys.  Looking through the various colors I have on
hand, it's actually quite shocking to see how many of them are warm colors that
utterly clash with the bleys.  White shouldn't clash with anything...but it does
with bley.  Every shade of green except sand-green clashes with dark-bley.  Even
classic blue looks like it might be slightly warm!  The only old colors that
I've seen that do work with dark-bley are dark-blue, black, and the three cool
sand-tones (green/blue/purple).  That's only five colors, and four of them are
too rare to be of any help.  Heck, light-bley is probably more common than
sand-blue, sand-purple, or dark-blue by now.  Sand-green at least has the Yoda
and Statue of Liberty sculptures.
