Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Pratt and Lambert 11-2 Shantung is a very light cream with a warm yellow undertone and a slight softness in the hue, so it reads as pale and gently tinted rather than stark white. Its low chroma keeps the color restrained while the warm bias gives it a softer, more yellowed appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Pratt and Lambert 11-2 Shantung can be used on vents, switch plates, outlet covers, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, hardware, and PVC parts where a light cream finish is needed. It also suits mailboxes, railings, shutters, cabinet accents, and other small metal, plastic, or wood components that need to follow an existing color reference.

Because this is a very light color, coverage can be more sensitive to the color underneath. Darker or uneven substrates may show through, so proper prep and enough film build matter. Sheen and surface texture can also shift the look slightly, with smoother or glossier finishes often reading cleaner and a bit brighter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 11-2 Shantung *

Will a match of Pratt and Lambert 11-2 Shantung look different in matte versus gloss finish?
