Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Valspar 342-5 Thicket is a muted, medium-dark gray-green with an earthy undertone. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than crisp, and the 17.22 LRV gives it a noticeably deeper read that holds a soft green cast instead of looking bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, shutter hardware, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, and other small fixtures where a quiet green-gray finish is needed. It also works for baskets, frames, shelving ends, cabinet pulls, and equipment covers when you want the part to read as part of the surrounding hardware rather than as a bright accent.

Because this is a fairly deep color, surface prep and primer choice matter, especially on lighter or uneven substrates. Darker, low-LRV colors can make texture, film build, and sheen differences more noticeable, so the final appearance can shift with the substrate, finish, and number of coats. As with any custom spray paint, the color will read differently on plastic, metal, wood, and previously coated parts.

Which sheen should I order for MyPerfectColor matched to Valspar 342-5 Thicket?
