A match of Behr 5640 Colonial Blue reads as a muted, medium-dark blue with a cool, gray-leaning undertone. Its low chroma keeps it restrained rather than bright, and the LRV of 16.59 places it in a deeper range that can read noticeably dark on small parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be a practical choice for vents, return-air grilles, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, mailbox hardware, shutters, brackets, and other spray-painted metal or plastic parts. It is also suitable for coordinated accessories and removable components where a repeatable blue-gray finish is needed on a compact surface.

Because this is a relatively deep color, finish and substrate can affect how it reads. In gloss or semi-gloss, surface texture and prep marks may be more visible, while the color can also shift in perceived depth depending on film build and the material underneath. Proper surface preparation and even application help keep the blue consistent across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ 5640 Colonial Blue *

How do I choose the right sheen for 5640 Colonial Blue by Behr in MyPerfectColor paint?

The sheen you choose changes how 5640 Colonial Blue looks and performs on the finished item. Lower sheens usually reduce reflectivity and can hide surface irregularities better, while higher sheens are typically easier to clean and can show more gloss. For a match of 5640 Colonial Blue, the color reference stays the same, but the finished appearance can still shift with sheen, substrate, and surface texture.

If you are matching an existing part, try to match the sheen of the surrounding surface as closely as possible. If the item will be handled often or needs frequent cleaning, choose the finish that fits that use, not just the color name.

What should I confirm before ordering 5640 Colonial Blue custom paint from MyPerfectColor?

Before ordering a match of 5640 Colonial Blue, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom color matches are made to your selections, so an order with the wrong finish, format, or amount can be difficult to correct after production.

If you need 5640 Colonial Blue in spray paint for a specific part, verify that spray format is the right choice before checking out. This helps reduce the risk of ordering a custom item that does not fit the project.

Can I use 5640 Colonial Blue on plastic parts, and what prep should I plan for?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 5640 Colonial Blue can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, you should test on the actual item or a hidden area before painting the full piece.

For better adhesion, clean the surface well and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when the plastic calls for extra prep. If the plastic is flexible, slick, or unknown, a test application is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you commit to the whole part.

What prep is needed before painting metal with 5640 Colonial Blue over an existing coating?

Before applying a match of 5640 Colonial Blue over metal or an older coating, clean the surface thoroughly and remove dust, grease, and rust. If the existing finish is sound, scuffing it first can help the new coating bond better.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss level, texture, oxidation, and loose paint can all change how 5640 Colonial Blue looks after it is applied. If the surface is failing or contaminated, fix that first so the new finish has a stable base.

Where can I find the SDS for 5640 Colonial Blue by Behr?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or paint chemistry you order, not to the 5640 Colonial Blue color name by itself. If you need safety information, check the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to buy.

If you are comparing formats such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor option, review the SDS for that specific product before use. That is the correct document for handling, storage, and safety details.
