A match of Benjamin Moore AF-230 Buttered Yam is a medium-deep warm orange-brown with a muted golden undertone. It reads earthy rather than bright, with enough chroma to stay clearly colored but not so much that it turns vivid or coppery.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to AF-230 Buttered Yam is suited to small parts and accessories where a warm brown-orange finish is needed: metal brackets, vent covers, switch plates, shelf supports, cabinet pulls, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, and PVC trim pieces. It also works on removable fixtures, frames, baskets, and other spray-friendly items after proper preparation.
Because the color is fairly saturated and moderately dark, coverage can vary with substrate and finish. White plastic, bare metal, or uneven surfaces may take additional coats to build an even film, and gloss levels can make surface texture and applied thickness more noticeable. A uniform primer or adhesion-promoting base may help keep the color reading consistent.

Confirm AF-230 Buttered Yam from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch, chip, or an existing known color reference whenever possible. Screen colors can shift by device, lighting, and display settings, so a digital view alone is not a reliable order check.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the key decision is making sure AF-230 Buttered Yam is the exact target before you place the order. If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, sheen, and substrate can make the old surface look different from a fresh match.
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the AF-230 Buttered Yam color name by itself. If you need SDS information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to order.
If you are comparing formats, review the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint or coating you will use, since the safety information can differ by chemistry and package type.
For AF-230 Buttered Yam, use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the paint lands in a smooth, consistent film. Slight overlap between passes helps avoid streaks, heavy edges, and uneven sheen.
Avoid laying on one heavy coat, especially on corners, recesses, or detailed parts, because that can cause runs or a muddy-looking build. If the item is plastic, textured, or already painted, test on the actual surface first and let each coat dry per the product instructions before adding the next coat.
Choose the sheen for AF-230 Buttered Yam based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface texture and small defects better, while higher sheen finishes are easier to wipe and show more shine.
Keep in mind that the same AF-230 Buttered Yam color can look different as the sheen changes. If the painted part needs to coordinate with an existing surface, the sheen choice matters as much as the color match.
MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to AF-230 Buttered Yam can work on many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot. Smooth or low-energy plastics often need more prep, and a test on the actual part is the safest way to confirm adhesion.
Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. Clean the part well, follow the prep steps for the substrate, and test before painting the full item so you can confirm the finish and bond on that exact material.
