A match of Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch is a warm, medium-depth gold with an ochre base and a soft amber-brown undertone. It reads as earthy rather than bright, with moderate saturation that can shift toward honey, mustard, or deeper gold depending on sheen and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on sprayable parts where a warm golden tone needs to carry across small surfaces. Common uses include metal brackets, shelf supports, picture frames, cabinet pulls, switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, and PVC trim pieces. It also works for hardware, fixtures, and accessory parts that are easier to finish evenly by spray than by brush.
Because this color sits in a mid-range gold family, the final look can change with the starting surface. Darker or uneven substrates may need extra coats for even coverage, while gloss level can make the warm undertone read clearer or slightly deeper. On textured pieces and exterior items, surface prep and film build matter because they can change how earthy versus golden the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ UL160-3 Gold Torch *
How should I confirm Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch from a physical swatch, a labeled sample, or another known original-brand color reference before you order. Screen images can shift the color, and MyPerfectColor is matching the original Behr color reference rather than the look of a monitor.
If you already know you need a match of Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch, use that confirmed reference for ordering. The code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an older painted surface may have aged.
How much paint do I need for Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch on my project?
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.
For Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch, plan based on the actual item and not just the square footage. Rough, porous, or dark surfaces often need more material than smooth, light, and already-primed surfaces.
Can I use Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch in spray paint for baskets, frames, or other small items?
Yes. A match of Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch is a practical match for spray-paint projects on baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and similar items where you want the object to coordinate to a known color reference.
MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched spray paint for that kind of project. If the piece is small or awkwardly shaped, spray application is often easier than brushing and gives more even coverage on detailed parts.
Will Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch work on plastic parts, and do I need primer?
Plastics vary widely, so it is important to test on the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion.
For Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch on plastic items, the safest approach is to clean the surface, test a small area, and confirm adhesion before painting the finished piece. That is especially important on low-energy plastics that can resist coating.
Will Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch look the same in matte and gloss finishes?
No. The same color can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes light reflection and perceived depth. That means a match of Behr UL160-3 Gold Torch can still appear different after application if you change the sheen.
If finish matters for your project, choose the sheen before ordering so the final result matches your expectation for that item or surface. The color reference stays the same, but the appearance can shift with the finish.
