A match of Benjamin Moore HC-145 Van Courtland Blue is a muted blue-green with a gray cast and moderate depth. It reads cooler than a typical blue and less saturated than a clear teal, which gives it a restrained, slightly softened appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can work well on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, shelving, and hardware where a coordinated blue-green finish is needed on a small or removable item. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, cabinet pulls, frames, baskets, and equipment covers when you want the color carried cleanly across mixed materials.

Because the color is fairly low-chroma, it often lays down with more even visual coverage than a vivid color, but the medium depth can still reveal substrate texture, edge defects, or sheen variation. A smoother or glossier finish may make it read a little deeper and cooler, while flatter finishes can soften the blue-green and reduce contrast. As with most matched spray coatings, surface prep and film build affect the final result, especially on metal and plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-145 Van Courtland Blue *

How do I confirm HC-145 Van Courtland Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm HC-145 Van Courtland Blue from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch, a labeled sample, or an existing part that was already painted with that color. On-screen color can shift, so a physical reference is the safer way to order the right match. MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not the original Benjamin Moore paint product.

If you are matching an existing item, check the reference under the same lighting where the finished part will be used.

Can HC-145 Van Courtland Blue be ordered for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, and brackets?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore HC-145 Van Courtland Blue can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. Spray paint is often the practical choice when the part is detailed, removable, or hard to brush evenly.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options, so spray paint or another specialty format is the better fit for these projects.

What is the best way to spray HC-145 Van Courtland Blue for a smoother finish?

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the paint builds gradually. Overlap each pass a little and avoid heavy wet coats, since too much material at once can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build.

For HC-145 Van Courtland Blue, patience between coats matters because the final appearance is affected by film build and how evenly the paint lands on the surface. Follow the product instructions for recoat timing and let each coat flash off before adding the next one.

Will HC-145 Van Courtland Blue work on plastic parts, and do I need primer?

Plastics vary widely, so test HC-145 Van Courtland Blue on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but some plastics are harder to bond to than others and may need extra prep or primer.

Clean the surface well, remove contamination, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when needed. If the plastic is unfamiliar or low energy, a test spray on a hidden area is the safest way to reduce risk before you commit to the full project.

What should I do before applying HC-145 Van Courtland Blue over metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first, then remove loose paint, rust, grease, and other contamination before spraying HC-145 Van Courtland Blue. On metal or over an older coating, scuffing the surface can help the new paint bond more reliably.

Keep in mind that the condition of the old finish matters. Gloss, texture, and wear can all change how the new match looks, even when the color is correct. If the existing coating is failing, it is usually better to repair or remove it before applying the new finish.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Benjamin Moore HC-145 Van Courtland Blue?

How do I convert Benjamin Moore HC-145 Van Courtland Blue to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore HC-145 Van Courtland Blue 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.
