Seven colors, and the chips seem pretty bright, although bits of some are missing. This bit of ephemera was lodged inside an envelope since 1905 and probably saw no light, so the colors may be fairly accurate.
The paint chip literature and accompanying stationary uses the statement "canvas canoes and equipments", which is seen on the earliest of the Morris decals. I believe this motto had already been superseded by "canvas, paddling and rowing canoes" on the decals of this time period (1905)... my guess is these paint chips were made up and until they ran out of the ones with the older motto, these were sent out.
