A match of Ace D23-6 Dried Fern reads as a muted olive-beige with a noticeable brown-green undertone. It is not a bright green; the color sits in a low-chroma, earthy range with moderate depth, so it tends to look subdued rather than clean or vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color reference can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim, cabinet hardware, frames, shelving, and other small parts where a controlled spray application is practical. The tone also suits metal or plastic accessories that need to blend with a warm, earthy architectural color without drawing extra attention.

Because the color is relatively muted, it usually reads steadier than a stronger green, but sheen and substrate still affect the result. Smooth surfaces can make the brown-green shift more apparent, while rough or porous surfaces may soften it. As with most matched spray paints, proper prep and an even film build help limit show-through and keep the color uniform across the part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ D23-6 Dried Fern *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace D23-6 Dried Fern do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the surface hides the old color, and how many coats you need.

For larger projects, other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover 400 to 600 square feet, but that is not the same as spray paint coverage.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace D23-6 Dried Fern on crafts, decor, or accessories?

What sheen should I choose for Ace D23-6 Dried Fern when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
