I've spent an inordinate amount of time on this project and could prattle on endlessly about the how's and why's of making these walls (and I will if you have any questions) but I'll keep this post short and to the point since there's a lot of information to convey.
OVERVIEW
All of the walls (764 and 1 floor tile) are as complete as possible with appropriate names, pricing and descriptions. There's a little bit of everything (interior wall wise) but the collection as a whole is rather neutral in tone as the walls were made to be the practical, catalog staples I reach for most of the time.
The textures are a mishmash of mostly EA, two web sourced patterns and some hand painting. They're new, bright and clean and don't have as much detail or artifacting as Maxis textures by design - but they're still very much Maxis Match, IMO.
The trim and moldings are white wood by default. A small number of colors come in light and medium wood as well. When toggled on, AL ceilings will cut off part of the crown moldings.
The wall colors (43) are a combination of original Maxis paints, derivatives of Maxis wallpapers and new colors that I probably chose to match existing content. Because of that, the paint colors work well or "look right" in game. There's a mix of light, dark, vibrant and muted colors.

This table is a wondrous beast. If you click on the headings it'll rearange the swatches.

DOWNLOADING
"These walls are amazing, I want them all!"
Hi Mom! :lovestruc
Just kidding. If you want all or most of the walls that's easy. Download files 1, 2 and 3 for the complete collection.
1. All Walls has all of the walls.
2. Collection File has all 764 walls arranged by color. It took elevenbillionity years to create so please do download and use it.
3. Color Swatches has the two charts from this post with the colors and wall types. It also includes paint chips for all of the colors. If you place them in the folder with the package files the paint chips will work as a file divider and color preview.
"That's way too many walls, I don't want them all."
I imagine there won't be many Sims 2 players who want a whole catalogs worth of new paints at this late date - I don't think - so I took pains to label all of the files clearly and consistently to make it easy to pick and choose the walls and colors you'd like.
I also included a small SAMPLER file which has all of the fifteen wall styles in three colors (Another Neutral, Sage Advice & Country Sand) and trims for a total of forty five walls. It's a much smaller download that you can plop into your game to preview the walls and see which ones you might like, if any.
And, lastly, I uploaded the walls by Category (paint, tile, wallpaper etc.) for those who would like a style or two but not the complete collection.
TERMS OF USE: None. Thanks for downloading. I hope you enjoy them.
