A match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 reads as a deep, muted red-brown with a warm cast and a slightly brown, earthy undertone. Its low lightness gives it a heavy, grounded appearance, while the modest chroma keeps it from looking bright or clean. In spray form, it typically reads as a subdued dark accent rather than a clear red.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color can be used on mailbox bodies, porch railings, brackets, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelf supports, picture frames, cabinet hardware, shutters, or PVC trim pieces when a dark coordinated finish is needed on small or removable parts. It is also a practical choice for metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated accessories that need to match a known reference color after proper surface preparation.

Because PV-73 is dark, surface condition and finish can change how it reads. Gloss level, substrate texture, and film build may make the color look deeper, browner, or slightly more reflective, and thin coverage can leave lighter edges or show the underlying surface on uneven parts. Careful prep and even spray passes help the final result look uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ PV-73 *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor matched to Benjamin Moore PV-73 for small parts and hardware?

Use light, even passes and keep the spray pattern moving so the MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 builds gradually. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a darker-looking wet edge, especially on edges and detailed parts.

For best results, make a test pass first, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat flash off before adding the next one. If the part has detailed profiles or sharp corners, cover those areas with multiple light coats rather than one wet coat.

Will MyPerfectColor's match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 look the same once it is applied to a switch cover or vent?

Not always. After the MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 is applied, lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item.

If the part will sit beside an existing painted surface, the safest approach is to confirm the match on the actual item or on the same substrate and in the same lighting conditions. A sprayed sample can look different indoors, outdoors, or under warm and cool light.

Can I order Benjamin Moore PV-73 as custom spray paint for vents, knobs, brackets, or other small parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a custom spray paint match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 for small parts and hardware where a smooth sprayed finish is easier than brushing.

This is a practical choice for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. Clean the part well and make sure the surface is ready for paint before you spray.

What should I know before spraying Benjamin Moore PV-73 on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Plastics vary a lot, so test the MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore PV-73 on the actual material first. Some plastics accept paint well, while others need extra prep or a primer to hold the coating properly.

For better adhesion on challenging plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel. Also clean off oils, mold release, and dust before painting, and let the coating cure fully before handling the part heavily.

How do I choose a sheen for Benjamin Moore PV-73 when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Sheen affects both the look and the durability of a MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore PV-73. Lower sheen usually hides surface imperfections better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make the finished color read a little differently.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much cleaning or wear it will get. If the item must coordinate with nearby coated parts, match the sheen as closely as possible so PV-73 reads more consistently across the project.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore PV-73 to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore PV-73 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.
