Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Benjamin Moore HC-171 Wickham Gray is a very light gray with low chroma and a subtle green-yellow undertone. It reads as soft and quiet rather than crisp, with enough color to avoid looking flat but not enough to appear saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HC-171 Wickham Gray is often used on vents, return-air grilles, switch plates, speaker covers, railings, brackets, PVC pipe, shutter hardware, mailbox parts, and shelf supports where a subdued match is needed on small, sprayable components. It can also be useful for painted accessories and removable fixtures that need to stay visually restrained without drawing attention to the part itself.

Because this is a very light, low-chroma color, substrate condition can influence the result. Darker or uneven surfaces may show through before full coverage is built, and finish differences can shift the way the gray-green undertone reads. Good prep and even film build help keep the match consistent across metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-171 Wickham Gray *

How should I spray a match of HC-171 Wickham Gray to avoid runs and an uneven finish?

Use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the spray movement steady, overlap each pass consistently, and let each coat dry enough before applying the next coat. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking build on the finished part. A match of HC-171 Wickham Gray is often easier to control on small parts, fixtures, and removable items when you build color gradually.

What should I confirm before ordering HC-171 Wickham Gray as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering HC-171 Wickham Gray, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen or finish if applicable, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the target color and the exact order details before checkout. For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor supplies its own matched paint formats rather than Benjamin Moore's original house paint product lines.

How do I confirm HC-171 Wickham Gray is the right color reference before I order?

Confirm HC-171 Wickham Gray from a physical swatch or a known existing paint reference, not from screen viewing alone. Screens can shift color appearance, and MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target reference needs to be right before you place the order. If you are matching an existing item, check the original brand color source or an approved sample first.

Can I use a match of HC-171 Wickham Gray on plastic parts, and do I need primer?

Yes, a match of HC-171 Wickham Gray can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot and should be tested on the actual material first. Surface prep matters, and using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy plastics. If the part is important or hard to replace, test a small area before coating the full item.

How does finish choice affect a match of HC-171 Wickham Gray?

Finish changes how HC-171 Wickham Gray looks and performs on the final item. Higher-sheen finishes usually reflect more light and can be easier to wipe clean, while lower-sheen finishes reduce reflectivity but may show different surface texture. When you choose a MyPerfectColor format or sheen option, think about how the part will be handled, cleaned, and viewed in its actual location.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore HC-171 Wickham Gray to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore HC-171 Wickham Gray 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.
