Match of Benjamin Moore™ GR-5 *

Confirm Benjamin Moore GR-5 from a physical swatch, an existing labeled reference, or the original color standard whenever possible. Screen images can shift the color, so they are not reliable for final ordering.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not to an aged wall or a screen version of GR-5. If the item you are coating needs to line up with an existing painted part, make sure you are confirming the original GR-5 reference rather than the worn surface next to it.

Sheen is a separate choice from the color match. For Benjamin Moore GR-5, a higher sheen usually reflects more light, looks more pronounced on the part, and is often easier to wipe clean. A flatter finish reduces reflectivity and can help hide small surface flaws.

Because sheen changes how GR-5 reads on the finished item, choose the finish based on the object and how it will be used, not just on the color name. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of GR-5 in its custom formats, including spray paint, so confirm the finish you want before ordering.

The same Benjamin Moore GR-5 color can look different after application depending on finish, texture, and substrate. A glossy finish usually looks deeper and more reflective, while a flat finish can make the same matched color read softer and less bright.

If you are coating metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted part, the finish can also change how much surface detail shows through. For that reason, the right way to order GR-5 is to confirm both the color reference and the finish that fits the project.

For Benjamin Moore GR-5, use light, even coats and keep the spray distance consistent so the film builds gradually. Overlapping passes by about one-third to one-half helps reduce striping and uneven coverage on items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, railings, and small fixtures.

Avoid heavy passes, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build of color. If the part has edges, recesses, or complex shapes, work around it in several controlled passes instead of trying to cover everything at once.

Before applying Benjamin Moore GR-5, clean the surface, remove grease and dust, and let it dry fully. If the substrate is glossy or slick, a light scuff where appropriate can help the coating grip better. Mask off areas that should not be painted.

For metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or previously coated parts, testing a small area on the actual surface is a practical way to reduce risk before coating the full item. That is especially useful on PVC pipe, access panels, hardware, and other parts that need a clean, repeatable result.

While we can provide Benjamin Moore GR-5 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.
