A match of Benjamin Moore 2117-30 Shadow is a very dark, low-LRV color that reads close to black while holding a cool, slightly violet-leaning undertone. Its low chroma keeps it muted rather than vivid, so the color feels subdued and dense instead of bright or clearly blue.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2117-30 Shadow is well suited to small parts and fixtures where a dark, restrained finish is needed: metal brackets, shelf supports, handrail hardware, switch covers, speaker grilles, HVAC vents, mailboxes, shutter hardware, cabinet pulls, and other removable pieces. It can also be used on PVC, plastic, wood, or previously coated components when you want those parts to read as one consistent dark accent.

Because this is a deep color, substrate prep and finish control matter. Dark shades can make scratches, texture, edge buildup, and sheen differences easier to notice, especially on glossy or uneven surfaces. Coverage is usually less of a concern than with vivid colors, but the final look still depends on the base color, film build, and how evenly the spray is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2117-30 Shadow *

How does finish affect a match of 2117-30 Shadow by Benjamin Moore after it is applied?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of 2117-30 Shadow can look different in matte, satin, or gloss once it is on the item. The color reference stays the same, but sheen can make the coating read lighter, darker, or more reflective depending on the surface and lighting.

If you need the closest practical result, choose the sheen that fits the part you are coating and keep the finish consistent across the item. A change in sheen can make the match look different even when the color formula is correct.

Can I use a match of 2117-30 Shadow on plastic parts, and what should I watch for?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so a test on the actual material is important before you coat the full item. A match of 2117-30 Shadow may behave differently on slick or low-energy plastics than it does on metal or wood.

Clean the part well and use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel if you want better adhesion on a difficult plastic surface. If the plastic is unknown, flexible, or especially smooth, test first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before committing to the project.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of 2117-30 Shadow by Benjamin Moore?

Before you order, confirm the exact Benjamin Moore color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of 2117-30 Shadow, so the order should be based on the correct target color and the right format for the part you are coating.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth double-checking those details before checkout. This is especially important if the item will be sprayed, handled often, or coated in more than one piece.

How do I confirm that 2117-30 Shadow is the right Benjamin Moore color to match?

Confirm 2117-30 Shadow from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch or a known existing color reference rather than from a screen image alone. Screen viewing can shift the way the color appears, especially for a darker color like this one.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the best ordering decision is to verify the exact color target before you place the order. If you already have a sample part or swatch, compare against that reference instead of relying only on a digital preview.

What prep is needed before applying a match of 2117-30 Shadow to metal or an existing coating?

Start by cleaning off dirt, grease, wax, rust, and any loose coating. If the metal is glossy, scuffing the surface can help the new coating bond better, and any rust or contamination should be addressed before you paint.

The condition of the old finish, along with its gloss and texture, can change how a match of 2117-30 Shadow looks after application. If you are coating over an existing finish, test the surface condition first so you know whether extra prep is needed.
