A match of Benjamin Moore ET-31 is a muted, medium-dark warm brown with a slight red-orange undertone. Its low LRV gives it a deeper, grounded look rather than a light tan appearance, and the color reads soft rather than highly saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be useful on parts where this kind of brown needs to repeat cleanly on smaller surfaces. It can be applied to metal brackets, handrails, mailboxes, vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf supports, picture frames, baskets, PVC trim pieces, shutters, hardware, and other removable components where spray application reaches edges, corners, and perforations more easily than a brush.

Because ET-31 is relatively deep, surface prep and even film build matter. Differences in texture, sheen, or substrate color can shift how warm or dark it appears, and lighter or uneven bases may need careful coverage for a consistent result. Finish choice can also change the way the undertone and depth read once the coating dries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ ET-31 *

Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore ET-31 if the color is not what I expected?

Custom-made matches of Benjamin Moore ET-31 are made to order, so you should confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before buying. These orders are generally not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify ET-31 carefully before checkout. MyPerfectColor offers Benjamin Moore color matches in custom spray paint and other non-housepaint specialty formats, not interior or exterior house paint products.

Is MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore ET-31 a good option for switch covers, knobs, vents, or brackets?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore ET-31 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth, durable sprayed finish is more practical than brushing. It is commonly used on switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items after proper surface prep. This is a color match of ET-31, not Benjamin Moore's original paint product.

How do I confirm that Benjamin Moore ET-31 is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Benjamin Moore ET-31 from a physical swatch, chip, or existing painted reference from the original brand whenever possible. Do not rely only on a screen image, since monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key decision is making sure ET-31 is the target you actually want before placing the order.

Do I need primer before applying Benjamin Moore ET-31 custom spray paint?

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the product you are using for Benjamin Moore ET-31. Bare metal, plastic, glossy surfaces, porous materials, and damaged or uneven surfaces often benefit from primer. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required, so check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor format before you start.

How should I spray MyPerfectColor matched to Benjamin Moore ET-31 for the best finish on small parts?

Apply Benjamin Moore ET-31 in light, even coats rather than heavy passes. Keep the can moving, maintain a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the film builds smoothly without runs or blotchy sheen. Because ET-31 is a deeper color with a relatively low LRV, gradual build-up helps coverage look even and reduces the chance of color or sheen variation on the finished part.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore ET-31 to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore ET-31 in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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