A match of Pratt and Lambert 23-19 Nocturnal Sea is a deep blue-green with a cool cast and restrained saturation. The low LRV gives it a dark, grounded look, while the modest chroma keeps it from reading bright or jewel-like. It tends to look more gray-blue than vivid teal.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is well suited to parts that need a darker coordinated finish without much visual emphasis. It can be used on vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shelving, hardware, and other small fixtures where a dark blue-green is practical. It can also be a useful match for PVC, appliance panels, and removable accessories that need a repeatable color reference.

Because this is a dark color, the substrate and finish can affect how it reads. Surface texture, sanding marks, and gloss level are more noticeable in darker tones, and full coverage may take additional coats over a light or uneven base. Proper prep and a consistent film build help the blue-green undertone come through evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 23-19 Nocturnal Sea *

Can I order 23-19 Nocturnal Sea by Pratt and Lambert as spray paint for plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test 23-19 Nocturnal Sea on the actual part before you commit. MyPerfectColor spray paint will stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion when the surface is smooth or difficult.

Clean the part first and confirm the finish on a sample area. If the plastic has an unknown coating or unusual surface, treat the first application as a test rather than assuming it will behave the same as it does on metal or wood.

How do I choose a finish for 23-19 Nocturnal Sea by Pratt and Lambert?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. Higher gloss usually reflects more light, tends to clean more easily, and can look sharper on smooth parts. Lower gloss reduces reflection and can help hide surface texture or minor flaws better.

The same match of 23-19 Nocturnal Sea can look different across sheen levels, so pick the finish that fits the item's wear and appearance needs. If you are coating a small part, the finish choice can change how the matched color reads when the project is complete.

Where do I find the SDS for 23-19 Nocturnal Sea by Pratt and Lambert?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Pratt and Lambert color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm and match the sheet to the exact product format you plan to order.

If you are comparing spray paint with another format, check the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product before use.

Can 23-19 Nocturnal Sea by Pratt and Lambert be ordered in spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make 23-19 Nocturnal Sea as custom spray paint for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

Spray application is often the practical choice when you need a smooth, repeatable finish on a removable or awkward part. Make sure the item is cleaned and prepared before painting so the match and adhesion are both more predictable.

What prep should I do before painting metal with 23-19 Nocturnal Sea by Pratt and Lambert over an existing coating?

Clean the metal thoroughly, remove rust or contamination, and scuff the existing coating so the new paint has a sound surface to grip. The condition of the old coating matters because gloss, texture, chips, and peeling can all change how 23-19 Nocturnal Sea looks after it dries.

If the old coating is failing, repair or remove it first instead of painting over a weak surface. A stable, clean substrate gives you a better chance of getting a consistent result from the matched paint.
