A match of Benjamin Moore 1465 Nimbus is a light, soft neutral with a warm gray-beige cast and very low saturation. It reads quiet rather than crisp, with a faint yellow warmth that keeps it from looking cool or stark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference is useful on vents, switch plates, return grilles, access panels, shelving brackets, hardware, picture frames, PVC trim pieces, mailbox parts, and other small items where a muted finish helps the piece blend with surrounding painted surfaces. It also works well for removable parts on fixtures or equipment that need a consistent, repeatable color.

Because 1465 Nimbus is fairly light, dark or uneven substrates can show through the first coats, especially on plastic or metal with texture. Finish and film build can shift the read slightly warmer or cooler, so uniform prep and even coverage matter more than with a deeper neutral.

Where do I find the SDS for 1465 Nimbus by Benjamin Moore from MyPerfectColor?

Check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product and format you plan to order, since the document should match the chemistry you are buying.

How much 1465 Nimbus by Benjamin Moore do I need for a spray-paint project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a dark, rough, or uneven surface in 1465 Nimbus, plan for more material because the same color can take extra coats to cover evenly.

Do I need primer before applying 1465 Nimbus by Benjamin Moore?

It depends on the substrate, its condition, and the product format you choose. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

For 1465 Nimbus, follow the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you order and test on the actual surface if the material is unfamiliar or hard to coat.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1465 Nimbus to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1465 Nimbus 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.
