Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1266 Hudson Blue *

Finish changes how a match of 1266 Hudson Blue by Pratt and Lambert looks after application because sheen changes reflectivity. A flatter finish will usually look less reflective and can make the color read a bit softer, while a higher sheen can make it look more reflective and can make surface texture or flaws easier to see.

If you need the coated part to coordinate with an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. The color code alone does not define the finish, so the sheen you order is a practical part of the result.

Before ordering a custom match of 1266 Hudson Blue by Pratt and Lambert, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not the original Pratt and Lambert paint.

These are custom-made color matches, so they are not returnable or refundable. Verifying the details up front helps avoid ordering the wrong product for your project.

For 1266 Hudson Blue by Pratt and Lambert, apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the can or spray gun at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep moving so the film builds evenly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. Let each coat dry or flash as directed on the product instructions before adding the next coat.

Choose the sheen for a match of 1266 Hudson Blue by Pratt and Lambert based on how the part will be used and what finish it needs to coordinate with. Higher gloss finishes usually wipe clean more easily and can feel more durable, but they also reflect more light and make surface imperfections more noticeable.

Lower sheen finishes usually reduce glare and can hide texture better, but they may not clean as easily. Because sheen changes how the color reads, match the finish to the item or the nearby surface whenever possible.

For 1266 Hudson Blue by Pratt and Lambert, the SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the brand color name by itself. MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you are buying, since safety information depends on the specific product chemistry.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 1266 Hudson Blue, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
