A match of Benjamin Moore 2088-40 Persimmon is a warm, muted red-orange with a clay and brick lean. It sits at a medium depth rather than a bright orange level, so the color reads earthy and somewhat softened by brown undertones.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be used on mailboxes, shutters, railings, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelf brackets, lamp parts, PVC trim pieces, and hardware where a warm, grounded color is needed on a small or removable surface. It also works for maker projects, fixtures, and retrofit parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted component.

Because this color is not especially light, it generally covers more readily than a pale color, but the final result still depends on substrate color, surface texture, and finish. On glossy or uneven parts, sheen and prep can change how warm or deep it appears, and darker substrates may make the color read a little richer and less orange. A smooth, properly prepared surface helps the match look more even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2088-40 Persimmon *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint do I need for 2088-40 Persimmon?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, how textured or porous it is, how the paint is applied, and how many coats are needed for even color. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough surfaces and heavier build needs can reduce that.

If you are coating a large item or a surface with a lot of edges and detail, plan conservatively and order extra so you do not run short before the finish is complete.

Where can I find the SDS for 2088-40 Persimmon?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to 2088-40 Persimmon as a color name by itself. Use the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor format you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

Can I order 2088-40 Persimmon in MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or hardware?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore 2088-40 Persimmon can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor match for spray-paint projects like baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and similar small items. That is often the right choice when you need a removable part or accessory to coordinate with a known Benjamin Moore color reference.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options in this collection, so focus on the non-housepaint formats that fit the part you are coating.

Will 2088-40 Persimmon stick to plastic, and should I use primer?

Plastics vary widely, so adhesion for 2088-40 Persimmon depends on the exact material and surface condition. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion.

Because plastic formulations differ, test the actual part before coating the full item. If you want to review the primer, use: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/

What spray technique should I use for 2088-40 Persimmon?

Apply 2088-40 Persimmon in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a steady distance from the surface so the color builds smoothly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build, especially on detailed parts. If the first coat looks thin, let it flash and build the finish gradually with additional coats.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 2088-40 Persimmon to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 2088-40 Persimmon 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.
