Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-98 Providence Olive *

Coverage for HC-98 Providence Olive depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Benjamin Moore color, plan on about 20 square feet per spray can for one coat.

For larger parts or when you need fuller hide, order extra so you have enough for a second coat and any masking or touch-up on the project itself. If you are using another MyPerfectColor format, coverage can be much different, so base your quantity on the actual product type and the total surface area.

Finish choice matters for HC-98 Providence Olive because sheen changes both durability and how the matched color reads on the finished item. A flatter finish reduces reflection and hides surface flaws better. A glossier finish is usually easier to clean and more durable, but it can make the same color look a little deeper or sharper because it reflects more light.

If the part will be handled often or cleaned often, choose the finish that fits the use first. If you are matching an existing coated item, try to match the sheen as closely as possible because HC-98 Providence Olive can look different on matte, satin, and gloss surfaces.

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore HC-98 Providence Olive is a practical color target for small spray-paint projects where you want to coordinate a basket, frame, shelf, bracket, knob, or decor piece to a known Benjamin Moore color. MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched spray paint for that color reference, which is often easier for detailed objects than using a larger house-paint product.

Before ordering, check the material, size, and handling needs of the item. Metal, wood, wicker, and previously coated accessories usually need proper prep, and a spray format is often the most practical choice when the part has corners, edges, or other tight areas.

The Safety Data Sheet for HC-98 Providence Olive is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the color name alone. If you order this Benjamin Moore match in a spray can or another format, use the SDS for that exact product type.

You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets. If you are comparing formats, check the SDS before use so you are reviewing the correct chemistry for the product you ordered.

Primer for HC-98 Providence Olive depends on the surface and its condition. Primer is often helpful on bare, glossy, porous, patched, or hard-to-bond substrates. The general rule is that primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

For a Benjamin Moore color match from MyPerfectColor, check the prep guidance for the specific format you order and the material you are coating. Metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts can all behave differently, so a small test area is a good way to confirm adhesion and coverage before finishing the whole item.

While we can provide Benjamin Moore HC-98 Providence Olive 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.
