A match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue is a very dark, muted blue with a strong gray cast and a slight blue-violet undertone. With an LRV of 4.46 and low chroma, it reads subdued rather than clear or bright, and it can move toward charcoal in lower light while still holding a cool blue note.

This shade is well suited to spray-painted parts that need a dark, coordinated finish without a strong color statement. It can work on HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, shelves, railings, mailboxes, cabinet hardware, small frames, and other metal, plastic, or previously coated pieces where a dark blue-gray match is needed. It is also practical for removable components such as access panels, fixtures, and equipment covers when a consistent brand-color reference matters.

Because the color is deep and low in brightness, surface condition and sheen will influence the final read. Dark colors can show sanding marks, texture, and gloss variation more clearly, so clean prep and even film build matter. When sprayed over a lighter or uneven substrate, multiple coats may be needed for full, even coverage, especially on edges and detailed parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ C45-7 Uniform Blue *

Can I order Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue in a different sheen, and how does sheen affect the match?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue in the finish that fits your project. Sheen affects more than appearance because it changes durability, cleanup, and how much light the surface reflects. A glossier finish can make the same color read differently than a flatter one, so choose the sheen based on the item you are coating and how it will be used.

Can I use Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue for baskets, frames, or other accessories?

Yes. A match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue is a practical match target for spray-painting smaller objects such as baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, brackets, knobs, and other accessories. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue is designed for projects where you already know the color reference and want the item coordinated to that match. For pieces with mixed materials or detailed shapes, spray application is often easier than brushing.

How should I spray a match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue for the best finish?

Use light, even coats and keep each pass consistent so the color builds smoothly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look as the film builds. Let each coat flash off according to the product directions before adding the next coat, and follow the spray distance and overlap pattern recommended on the label for the best result with a match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue.

Why can Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue look different after it is painted?

Even after you order a match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue, the finished look can change with lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and the colors next to it. The same color may read differently on a smooth part than on a rough one, and it can look different beside an older painted surface that has aged. If the item will sit right next to an existing surface, expect the final appearance to depend on the whole environment, not the color code alone.

Can I use a match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue on plastic, and do I need primer?

Plastics vary widely, so testing a match of Ace C45-7 Uniform Blue on the actual part is important before you commit to the whole project. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the part is a low-energy plastic or another tricky substrate, prep and test first so you can confirm the finish before full application.
