A match of Ace D43-5 Royal City is a muted, cool blue-gray with low chroma and a restrained steely look. With an LRV of 30.54, it reads as a medium-dark color rather than a pale gray, and the blue side stays present without becoming bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, mailboxes, brackets, shelving supports, hardware, access covers, and similar small parts where a subdued blue-gray finish is needed. It also fits PVC trim pieces, fixture components, and other sprayable items that need to coordinate with a known paint color without drawing extra attention to the part itself.

Because this is a low-chroma color, it typically does not hide as aggressively as a vivid color issue would, but finish and substrate still matter. Surface texture, gloss level, and film build can change how blue or gray it appears, and uneven or darker substrates may affect coverage and final depth. On a smooth, glossy part, the cool cast can read a little stronger; on textured surfaces, it may look slightly softer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ D43-5 Royal City *

Do I need primer before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Ace D43-5 Royal City?

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the product you are applying. For Ace D43-5 Royal City, a primer is not always required, but it can help with adhesion and uniform coverage, especially on bare, repaired, glossy, or difficult surfaces. If you are matching this color on an existing coated item, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to use.
