A match of Pratt and Lambert 24-9 Hudson Blue reads as a soft, cool blue with a muted, gray-leaning undertone and low saturation. It has enough color to register clearly as blue, but it stays restrained rather than bright or crisp.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color can be a practical choice for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, shutters, mailboxes, PVC trim, and small hardware pieces. It also fits removable parts and accessory items where a consistent blue-gray finish is needed across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because the color is muted rather than vivid, it often reads more softly on textured surfaces and may look a little grayer as sheen drops or the film builds out. On dark or uneven substrates, a suitable primer or extra coat can help the color cover more evenly and keep the blue tone from being influenced by the base color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 24-9 Hudson Blue *

How do I confirm 24-9 Hudson Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 24-9 Hudson Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original Pratt and Lambert brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so verifying the target color first helps avoid ordering the wrong match.

If the project depends on an exact color, compare the reference under the lighting where the finished item will be used before you place the order.

Can 24-9 Hudson Blue be used on plastic parts, and should I use primer?

Yes, 24-9 Hudson Blue can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Testing on the actual material is important because some plastics are easier to coat than others.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the part is smooth, flexible, or otherwise hard to coat. If the item is a low-energy plastic, a test piece is the safest way to confirm the result before painting the full part.

Why can 24-9 Hudson Blue look different after it is applied?

Even when the color match is correct, 24-9 Hudson Blue can read differently after application because lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces all affect appearance. The same match can look lighter, darker, or more blue-green depending on where and how it is viewed.

If the finished item will sit beside an existing painted surface, compare it in the same lighting and on a similar substrate whenever possible. That is the best way to judge how the applied match will actually read.

What prep should I do before painting metal with 24-9 Hudson Blue over an existing coating?

For metal or a part with an older coating, clean the surface first, remove contamination, and scuff any sound glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, loose paint, or damaged coating, address that before applying 24-9 Hudson Blue.

The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can change how the finished color looks. A primer may also help depending on the metal and the condition of the existing finish.

Where do I find the SDS for 24-9 Hudson Blue from MyPerfectColor?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the 24-9 Hudson Blue color name by itself. To find the SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

If you need safety details before purchasing, review the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to use, such as spray paint or another matching product.
