A match of Richard's Paint 2697-A Irish Green is a medium green with a clear yellow undertone and moderate chroma. It reads cleaner and brighter than olive, but it is not a neon or blue-leaning green. With an LRV around 35, it sits in the mid-range rather than reading very light.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on shutters, railings, vents, mailbox covers, PVC trim pieces, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, and other small parts where a controlled green finish is needed. It is also practical for hardware, frames, shelving, and accessory pieces that need to coordinate with a known paint color across different materials.
Because this color has moderate chroma, coverage can be more even over a properly prepared surface than with very vivid greens, but darker or uneven substrates may still show through in the first coat. Finish, film build, and the underlying material can shift how clear or muted the green appears, and gloss levels can make texture and surface imperfections more noticeable.

Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the product you are applying. A primer can help adhesion and usually does not hurt, but it is not always required for a match of 2697-A Irish Green.
Check the prep guidance for the format you plan to order and consider primer if the substrate is bare, porous, glossy, repaired, or hard to bond to. The goal is to make MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Richard's Paint color perform well on your specific part.
For spray paint formats, dry to touch is usually within minutes, recoating is often possible in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about 2 weeks.
Do not confuse dry to touch with ready for handling. If the part will be assembled, masked, stacked, or installed, give a match of 2697-A Irish Green enough time to harden before stressing the coating.
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how easy it needs to be to clean. Higher gloss is usually more reflective and easier to wipe down, while lower gloss is less reflective and can hide small surface flaws better.
The sheen also changes how 2697-A Irish Green looks on the finished item, so match the finish to the part and to the look you need on the coating itself. If the item is going beside an existing painted surface, order the sheen that best matches that target.
Not always. Lighting, placement, nearby surfaces, sheen, and the material underneath can all change how a matched color reads after application.
A match of 2697-A Irish Green can look different on a flat panel than on a textured or curved part, and it may read differently indoors versus outdoors. If the coated item will sit beside an existing surface, evaluate it in the final location before you commit to the whole project.
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a can typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat.
Other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover much more, often about 400 to 600 square feet depending on the product. For a match of 2697-A Irish Green, measure the part, account for extra coats if the base color is dark or uneven, and avoid assuming one can will handle a large job.
