Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa reads as a very light, cool blue with low saturation and a soft gray cast. It has a quiet, airy character rather than a bright or vivid one, and the slight blue-green lean keeps it from feeling flat.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts that need a consistent color reference: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access covers, brackets, shelving ends, mailboxes, railings, and other hardware or accessories. It also works for white PVC, painted trim pieces, and removable components where spray application gives a more even result than brushing.

Because the color is light and low-chroma, substrate condition can affect the result. Dark, uneven, or stained surfaces may show through more readily, so proper priming and multiple light coats can matter. Finish and film build can also change the read slightly; a glossier application may look a little cleaner, while a flatter finish can make it appear softer and more muted.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ralph Lauren™ VM145 Blue Mesa *

Can I use MyPerfectColor VM145 Blue Mesa on plastic parts, and should I use primer first?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot in how they accept coating. Because of that, it is best to test on the actual plastic item first.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before topcoating. That is especially important on unfamiliar plastic, low-energy surfaces, or parts that will be handled often.

Which finish should I choose for Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa if I want the matched color to look right on the finished part?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not just the color name. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can add durability, while a flatter finish reduces reflectivity.

Keep in mind that the same Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa match can look different as sheen changes. Higher gloss can make the color read a little brighter and can also show texture or surface flaws more clearly.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa color name by itself. That means you should look up the SDS for the exact format you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Check the sheet for the product type you plan to use, such as spray paint or another format.

How do I confirm Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference whenever possible. Screen viewing alone can shift the way the color looks and can lead to the wrong order.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so verifying the target color before you buy is the best way to reduce risk, especially if the new piece will be compared to an existing painted surface.

What prep should I do before painting metal with MyPerfectColor VM145 Blue Mesa over an existing coating?

Clean the metal first, remove rust or contamination, and scuff the surface if the old coating is sound. If the existing finish is failing, loose, or uneven, it should be corrected before painting.

The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how the matched Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa color appears after application. This matters on hardware, brackets, fixtures, and other removable parts where the new coating will be seen next to existing finishes.

How do I convert Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa to a different company?

While we can provide Ralph Lauren VM145 Blue Mesa 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.
