A match of Benjamin Moore CC-68 Lyons Red is a deep, warm red with a brown-leaning undertone. It reads as a muted, earthy red rather than a clean or bright red, and the low LRV means it will sit on the dark side once applied. Depending on finish and substrate, it can lean a little more red or a little more brick-like.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color can be used on vents, switch covers, railings, mailboxes, shutter hardware, speaker grilles, brackets, frames, baskets, and other sprayable parts where a dark red finish is needed. It also works well for PVC, trim pieces, machine covers, and small fixtures when you need the color carried onto metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because this is a dark color, surface preparation and film build matter. Any sanding marks, patchiness, or substrate contrast may show more readily than they would in a lighter color, and sheen differences can change how warm or brown the color appears. On lighter or uneven surfaces, additional coats may be needed for even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ CC-68 Lyons Red *

How do I choose the right finish for CC-68 Lyons Red by Benjamin Moore when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how much reflectivity and durability your project needs. A glossier finish will usually look more reflective and can make CC-68 Lyons Red read differently than a flatter finish. A flatter finish reduces shine and can help the color appear less reflective on the finished item.

If you are matching a part that sits near other finished surfaces, pick the sheen carefully before ordering so the final result fits the application, not just the color reference. MyPerfectColor can make a match of CC-68 Lyons Red in spray paint and other specialty formats for non-housepaint projects.

Can CC-68 Lyons Red be used on plastic, and what prep should I consider before ordering MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but the surface still needs proper prep for reliable adhesion.

For difficult plastic or low-energy surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion and follow the prep steps recommended for the specific item. If the part is small or replaceable, a test application is the safest way to confirm that CC-68 Lyons Red is the right match on that material.

Is CC-68 Lyons Red a good match to order in spray paint for switch covers, knobs, vents, or speaker grilles?

Yes. Custom spray paint matched to CC-68 Lyons Red is practical for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where a smooth spray finish is useful.

Clean the part well, repair or sand any rough spots as needed, and use light coats so the finish builds evenly. If the item is plastic or another difficult surface, primer can make the result more reliable. This is usually the best format when the goal is to coat a removable part in a repeatable color match rather than repaint a large wall or house surface.

What should I confirm before ordering CC-68 Lyons Red as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before you order CC-68 Lyons Red, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not Benjamin Moore's original paint product.

That matters because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable. Checking the color code and the exact product details up front helps avoid ordering the wrong finish, format, or amount.

Where do I find the SDS for CC-68 Lyons Red when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the CC-68 Lyons Red color name alone. Review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product format you plan to order, since spray paint and other specialty products can have different SDS information.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Check that page before use so you are reviewing the document for the correct product.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore CC-68 Lyons Red to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore CC-68 Lyons Red in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
