A match of Behr TH-48 Nautical Compass reads as a very light, low-chroma neutral with a soft warm cast. It sits close to off-white, but the faint beige-yellow undertone keeps it from looking stark or bluish.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to TH-48 Nautical Compass can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, brackets, shelving parts, railings, shutter hardware, mailbox hardware, frames, and small fixture pieces where a quiet match is needed. It also works well for removable components and accessory parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface without standing out.

Because this is a very light color, darker or uneven substrates can show through more easily, so primer, surface prep, and enough film build matter more than they do with deeper colors. Sheen can also change the reading of the color: a glossier finish may make the warm undertone and surface texture more noticeable, while a flatter finish can keep it softer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ TH-48 Nautical Compass *

Can MyPerfectColor TH-48 Nautical Compass be used on plastic parts, and what prep should I do first?

MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint matched to TH-48 Nautical Compass for many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test the actual item first because some plastics need more prep than others to hold the coating well.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before topcoating. Clean the surface well, let it dry, and confirm the primer and paint bond on a hidden spot before painting the full part.

Where do I find the SDS for TH-48 Nautical Compass in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to TH-48 Nautical Compass alone. If you are ordering this color in MyPerfectColor paint, use the Safety Data Sheet for the exact paint product you plan to buy.

If the substrate is rough, dark, or uneven, plan for extra paint. For larger jobs, count the number of coats you need instead of relying on square footage alone.
