A match of Benjamin Moore ST-42 is a light warm peach-beige with a soft red-yellow undertone and modest chroma. It reads muted rather than bright, with enough warmth to feel peachy and enough softness to stay close to a light neutral.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ST-42 is useful on small parts and removable items where a warm, lightly colored finish is needed. Common uses include HVAC vents, switch and outlet covers, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, hardware, and furniture accents. It can also be applied to metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated surfaces when the surface is properly prepared.
Because ST-42 is fairly light, darker or uneven substrates may show through if coverage is thin, so additional coats may be needed for even color. The final look can shift with finish and film build: glossier finishes tend to make the warm undertone read more clearly, while flatter finishes can soften it. On detailed parts, surface texture and prep quality can also affect how cleanly the color reads.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ ST-42 *
How long does MyPerfectColor ST-42 spray paint need before recoating or handling?
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore ST-42 is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in one to two hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.
If you are coating a part that will be handled or reinstalled, plan for the recoat window first and allow extra time before putting the item back into service. Dry to the touch is not the same as fully cured.
How do I confirm Benjamin Moore ST-42 before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm Benjamin Moore ST-42 from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable original brand reference before you order. Screen images can shift with display settings and lighting, so they are not the best way to verify the target color.
MyPerfectColor makes a match of Benjamin Moore ST-42 in its own paint products, so the order should be based on the actual color reference you want matched, not on how the color looks on a monitor.
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor ST-42?
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the ST-42 color name alone. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore ST-42, use the SDS for the product format you selected.
You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
Can MyPerfectColor ST-42 be used on plastics or other difficult surfaces?
Plastics vary widely, so the safest approach is to test MyPerfectColor ST-42 on the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but some plastics and other low-energy surfaces benefit from primer.
Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on challenging substrates. If you want to reduce risk, test first and prepare the surface carefully before spraying the final part.

Does the finish change how MyPerfectColor ST-42 looks after application?
Yes. Finish changes reflectivity, and that changes how a match of Benjamin Moore ST-42 reads on the finished item. The same color can look different on a flat, satin, or glossier coating even when the color formula is correct.
If you are matching an existing part, compare the finish as well as the color reference. Choosing the right finish helps the applied coating look more consistent with the item you are coating.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore ST-42 to a different color from another paint company?
While we can provide Benjamin Moore ST-42 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.
