A match of Benjamin Moore HC-170 Brushed Silver reads as a light, quiet neutral with a soft silver-beige cast. It is low in chroma, slightly warm, and more muted than a clean gray, so the color tends to look subdued rather than bright or crisp.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Benjamin Moore color reference is useful for small parts and fixtures that need a restrained, coordinated finish. It can be used on HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, mailboxes, railings, PVC pipe, shelf supports, picture frames, knobs, and other hardware where a light neutral helps the piece recede without looking stark.

Because this is a light color, darker or uneven substrates may show through more readily than they would under deeper shades. On metal, plastic, or previously coated parts, surface prep and enough light coats matter for even color and sheen, and the final look can shift somewhat with finish and substrate texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-170 Brushed Silver *

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to HC-170 Brushed Silver take to dry, recoat, and handle?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to HC-170 Brushed Silver is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about 2 weeks for full cure before expecting the coating to be fully hardened and ready for normal handling.

If the part needs to go back into service quickly, use the dry-to-touch time only as a light-handling milestone, not as a sign that the coating has fully cured.

Where can I find the SDS for HC-170 Brushed Silver from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the HC-170 Brushed Silver color name alone. Use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, since the safety information can vary by format.

For this color, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to buy before you start your project or apply the coating.

Will the finish I choose change how HC-170 Brushed Silver looks after it is sprayed?

Yes. The finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so HC-170 Brushed Silver can look different even when the color match is the same. A glossier finish usually reflects more light, while a flatter finish reduces reflectivity and can make the color read differently on the finished part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, compare the result on the actual substrate because sheen and texture can change how the matched color appears after application.

Can I spray MyPerfectColor matched to HC-170 Brushed Silver on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual plastic before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but some low-energy or flexible plastics may need extra prep or a primer to improve adhesion.

Clean the surface well, remove release agents or oils, and use MyPerfectColor primer when you need better bite on a difficult substrate. A small test area is the best way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you commit to the whole item.

How should I choose a finish for HC-170 Brushed Silver when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want in the final coating. For Benjamin Moore colors like HC-170 Brushed Silver, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint options, so select the non-housepaint format and finish that fit the part you are coating.

If you want a more practical, lower-reflective result, a flatter finish may be easier to live with. If the item needs a harder-looking, more reflective surface, a higher-gloss finish will change the way the match reads on the finished part.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore HC-170 Brushed Silver to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore HC-170 Brushed Silver 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.
