A match of Ameritone Devoe 3WA28-6 Black Currant is a very dark, muted color with a brown-plum base and a restrained red-violet undertone. With an LRV of 3.98, it reads close to black in low light, while the warmer plum note can still show through at close range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, cabinet hardware, small trim pieces, PVC, and other compact parts where a deep, coordinated finish is needed. The subdued character works well on items that should recede rather than stand out.

Because the color is so dark, surface preparation and finish selection matter. Scratches, seams, texture, and sheen differences can be more noticeable on the finished part, and lighter or uneven substrates may need additional coats for uniform coverage. On exterior pieces, the depth of the color can also shift with sun exposure and gloss level.

This is a MyPerfectColor paint match to the selected brand color reference, not the original brand product. It is intended for practical color-matching work on sprayable parts and other surfaces after proper preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ameritone Devoe™ 3WA28-6 Black Currant *

How should I prepare a surface before ordering or spraying 3WA28-6 Black Currant by Ameritone Devoe?

For 3WA28-6 Black Currant, start with a clean surface. Remove dust, oils, and other contamination by cleaning and degreasing first. If the surface is smooth or glossy, light scuffing can help when appropriate, then mask off nearby areas and spray a test patch on the actual item before doing the full application.

That test matters because the same matched color can look different depending on the substrate, texture, and how the coating is applied.

Why can 3WA28-6 Black Currant look different after I spray it in a different finish?

The finish you choose can change how 3WA28-6 Black Currant reads on the finished part because sheen affects reflectivity and perceived color. A glossier coating can make the color look deeper or more reflective, while a flatter finish can reduce reflectivity and change how the same match appears.

If the item has to coordinate with an existing surface, confirm the finish you are ordering and test on the actual substrate before coating the full part.

Can I use 3WA28-6 Black Currant on plastic parts, and do I need primer?

Plastics vary widely, so 3WA28-6 Black Currant should be tested on the actual part before a full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is difficult or when you want extra prep for a handled part.

If the plastic is unfamiliar, flexible, or low-energy, a small test spray is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before ordering more.

How do I confirm that 3WA28-6 Black Currant is the right Ameritone Devoe color before I order?

Confirm 3WA28-6 Black Currant from a physical swatch or a known existing Ameritone Devoe reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so verifying the source color first helps avoid ordering the wrong match.

If the color must coordinate with an existing painted part, use the actual reference you are trying to match and not just the name on screen.
