Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso is a muted, cool blue-gray with a low-chroma profile and a slight blue-violet lean. It reads medium-dark rather than bright, with enough gray to stay restrained and enough blue to remain clearly cool.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Ralph Lauren color reference can be useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, hardware, and other small parts where a subdued blue-gray finish helps the piece coordinate with painted surroundings. It also fits removable items such as frames, baskets, sign components, and furniture accents when spray application is the easiest way to cover edges, corners, and narrow profiles evenly.

Because this color is fairly deep and not highly saturated, coverage is usually more forgiving than with brighter colors, but finish still matters. A glossier finish will make the blue-gray read a little darker and can highlight surface texture, while a flatter finish can make it look softer and slightly grayer. As with any custom spray paint, substrate color, prep, and film build can shift the final appearance, especially on plastic or previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ralph Lauren™ VM138 Calypso *

How do I confirm that Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso is the right color before I order MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm VM138 Calypso from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or another known existing reference from the original Ralph Lauren color, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that selected brand color reference, so the key step is making sure the target color is the one you want before you order.

The code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen, product type, or how an existing painted surface has aged.

Can I return a custom order of MyPerfectColor matched to Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso if I choose the wrong reference?

Custom-matched orders for VM138 Calypso should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity so you are ordering the right MyPerfectColor match for the job.

If you are unsure about the target, verify it first rather than ordering and hoping to adjust later.

Which sheen should I choose for a MyPerfectColor match of Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso?

Choose the sheen based on the item and the finish you need, not on the color code alone. A match of Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso will read differently in gloss, satin, or flatter finishes because sheen changes reflectivity and how much surface texture shows through.

For a custom spray paint order, match the finish to the real-world use, cleanup needs, and how much wear the part will see.

How much Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, color change, application method, and how many coats are needed. As a planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the surface is rough, dark, or hard to hide, plan for more material.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso on small parts like vents, switch covers, or hardware?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint gives you a matched color in a format suited to these objects.

For best results, the part should be properly cleaned and prepared before spraying, especially on plastic or previously coated surfaces.

How do I convert Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso to a different company?

While we can provide Ralph Lauren VM138 Calypso 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.
