A match of Dutch Boy DC068 Splendid is a medium-deep blue-green with a cool teal cast. It reads darker rather than bright, with enough chroma to stay color-forward while still carrying some gray depth. On a large surface it can lean slightly more blue or more green depending on the substrate and finish.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shutters, and small furniture frames. It also suits PVC trim pieces, hardware, and removable accessories where a spray finish is the practical way to carry a known blue-green reference onto metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.

Because this color is relatively deep, sheen and surface condition can change how it reads. Smooth, well-prepared surfaces usually show the teal character more cleanly, while texture, porosity, or an uneven base can mute the color and make the blue-green balance shift. Over darker or uneven substrates, additional coats may be needed to build an even finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ DC068 Splendid *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint do I need for DC068 Splendid by Dutch Boy?

Coverage for DC068 Splendid depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DC068 Splendid, plan on about 20 square feet per can for one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but actual coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces and higher on smooth ones.

If you are estimating quantity for a project, measure the total area and allow for extra coats if you are spraying over a darker or uneven finish.

What projects work well with MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DC068 Splendid?

DC068 Splendid in custom spray paint is useful when the item is small, awkward, removable, or hard to brush. It is a practical option for vents, pipes, railings, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, hardware, mailboxes, fixtures, accessories, and similar parts.

This format is also helpful when you want the color on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or a previously coated item and spray application is the faster way to coat it. If the part is important or hard to replace, test the prep and masking plan first.

How should I choose the sheen for DC068 Splendid when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Sheen changes how DC068 Splendid looks on the finished part and also affects how the surface performs. Lower sheen finishes usually hide small surface flaws better and reflect less light. Higher sheen finishes are usually easier to clean and can be more durable, but they also show texture and surface variation more clearly.

Choose the sheen based on the item you are coating, how often it will be handled or cleaned, and whether you need it to coordinate with an existing finished surface. The wrong sheen can make the same color read differently on the final part.

What should I confirm before ordering DC068 Splendid as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, here DC068 Splendid by Dutch Boy, along with the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom paint match to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original brand's paint.

Custom color orders are made specifically for your request, so they should be checked carefully before you place them. These orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the color reference and product details first.

Plastics vary widely, so DC068 Splendid should be tested on the actual part before you commit to the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but some low-energy plastics and other difficult substrates may need better preparation to get reliable adhesion.

Clean the part thoroughly, prep it for the specific material, and use the MyPerfectColor primer when adhesion is a concern. A small test area is the safest way to confirm that the color, prep, and finish will work on that plastic.
