A match of Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth is a muted, medium-light earth tone with a soft beige-gray base and a faint green-yellow cast. It has low chroma, so it reads subdued and slightly earthy rather than clean or bright. The color can shift a bit with sheen and substrate, but it generally stays in the quiet neutral range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, cabinet pulls, shelf brackets, mailboxes, railings, PVC trim, and other small parts where a restrained finish is needed. It also fits frames, baskets, hardware, and accessory pieces that need consistent color across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because this is a softer, lighter neutral, the surface underneath still matters. Dark or uneven undercoats can show through more readily than they would under a deeper color, and sheen can make the faint green cast read more or less strongly. A smooth, even coat usually gives the most consistent result, especially on molded details, edges, and parts with texture.

About Ralph Lauren Paint Colors

MyPerfectColor matches all Ralph Lauren colors in spray paint, touch-up paint, pints, gallons, and more.

For many years, Ralph Lauren offered paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold these through various home centers. A few years ago, Ralph Lauren decided to stop selling paint and as a result, it is no longer available to purchase, and thus for many people, these are simply discontinued paint colors.

But you are not out of luck. You can find Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth at MyPerfectColor, of course! MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Ralph Lauren color by matching the original Ralph Lauren color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor does not use Ralph Lauren paint as it is no longer available. MyPerfectColor matches Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth based on Ralph Lauren's color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Ralph Lauren Color and may not match Ralph Lauren Color standards. Refer to Ralph Lauren Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for many years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Ralph Lauren Specialty Finishes such as the Suede, River Rock, or Metallic finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ralph Lauren™ UL29 Soft Earth *

What sheen should I choose for UL29 Soft Earth by Ralph Lauren in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name. A flatter finish usually hides surface flaws better and reflects less light, while satin or gloss finishes are easier to wipe down and can hold up better on handled items.

Keep in mind that UL29 Soft Earth will look a little different at each sheen level, even though the color match stays the same. If the item will sit near other coated parts, choose the finish that best fits the surface and cleaning needs before you order.

Can UL29 Soft Earth by Ralph Lauren be sprayed on plastic, and do I need primer?

Yes, UL29 Soft Earth can be ordered in MyPerfectColor spray paint for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, a test on the actual part is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before doing the full job.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces. For best results, clean the part first and use the primer when the plastic is smooth, flexible, or otherwise hard to bond to.

Where do I find the SDS for UL29 Soft Earth by Ralph Lauren when ordering from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the UL29 Soft Earth color name by itself. That means you should look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another available product type.

If you need the safety sheet before ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the matching product. That is the correct reference for handling and compliance information.

What prep should I do before spraying UL29 Soft Earth by Ralph Lauren over metal or an existing coating?

For metal or an already painted surface, start with cleaning so dust, oil, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the surface is glossy or slick, scuff it enough to give the new coating a better mechanical bond.

Also check for rust, peeling paint, or soft old coating. The condition, texture, and gloss of the old surface can affect how UL29 Soft Earth looks after it is sprayed, so a good prep step matters even when the color match is correct.

How much MyPerfectColor UL29 Soft Earth paint should I order for my project?

Plan by surface area and number of coats, not just by how many parts you have. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet depending on the product.

Coverage can change with surface texture, hiding power, spray method, and how many coats are needed. Rough, porous, or dark surfaces usually take more paint, so it is safer to order with some extra margin if the part must be fully and evenly covered.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth depends on the type of paint needed.

How do I convert Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth to a different company?

While we can provide Ralph Lauren UL29 Soft Earth in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
