A match of Benjamin Moore ET-3 is a deep, muted brown with a warm red-orange undertone. It reads dark rather than mid-tone, and the moderate chroma keeps the color earthy and restrained instead of looking blackened or overly saturated. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint lets you order this reference in a spray-applied format.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ET-3 is suited to railings, brackets, mailbox parts, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving supports, shutters, PVC trim, and furniture accents. It can also be used on replacement pieces, shop-built parts, and other small components where a warm dark brown needs to be carried across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because ET-3 is relatively dark, surface condition and finish can influence how it reads. Thin coverage may leave lighter substrates or worn edges visible, and gloss level can make texture differences more noticeable. Finish, substrate color, and film build all affect the final appearance, so even a matched color can look slightly different from part to part if the surface varies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ ET-3 *

Where do I find the SDS for Benjamin Moore ET-3?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Benjamin Moore ET-3 name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the ET-3 product here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are reviewing a specific spray, pen, or other format, make sure the SDS matches the exact MyPerfectColor product number before use.

Will Benjamin Moore ET-3 look the same in matte and gloss?

No. The color target stays ET-3, but the finished item can look different when you change sheen. Matte scatters more light, while gloss reflects more light and can make the same match read deeper or brighter depending on the surface and lighting.

If the part will sit next to an existing coated surface, choose the finish first and expect some appearance change even when the color match is correct.

Can Benjamin Moore ET-3 be sprayed on plastic and other hard-to-stick surfaces?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore ET-3 is often used on plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Clean the part well, scuff it if the surface allows it, and test on the actual item before doing the full project.

For better adhesion on difficult plastics and low-energy surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/. A primer test is especially important on unknown plastics, glossy trim pieces, and molded parts.

How fast does Benjamin Moore ET-3 spray paint dry and when can I recoat?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore ET-3, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually done in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about two weeks.

Do not treat dry-to-touch as fully cured. If you handle the part too soon, the finish can mar, print, or lose sheen before it has fully hardened.

Which finish should I order for Benjamin Moore ET-3?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name. Lower sheen finishes reduce reflection, while higher sheen finishes usually clean more easily and show the matched color with more shine.

Because ET-3 can read differently as sheen changes, pick the finish that fits the object, then order the MyPerfectColor product in that finish rather than assuming one sheen will suit every project.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore ET-3 to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore ET-3 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.
