A match of Benjamin Moore CSP-240 brownstone is a very dark, low-chroma brown with a warm, earthy undertone. It sits close to black in low light, but the brown character becomes easier to see as light and sheen increase.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to CSP-240 brownstone is well suited to shutters, railings, mailboxes, vent covers, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, frames, shelving, and furniture legs where a dark brown finish needs to stay visually quiet. It can also be used on PVC, metal hardware, and other small fixtures when a coordinated brown match is needed on a sprayable part.
Because this is a very dark color, surface prep and finish will affect the result noticeably. Light or uneven substrates may show through until enough coats are built, and glossy finishes can make texture, sanding marks, or repairs more visible. Film build and the underlying material can also shift the color from reading as brown toward almost-black, so even coverage matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ CSP-240 brownstone *
Where do I find the SDS for CSP-240 brownstone from Benjamin Moore when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
The SDS applies to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name by itself. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for a match of CSP-240 brownstone, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product line you are ordering.
If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use, since spray paint and other specialty formats can have different documentation.
Can CSP-240 brownstone be ordered in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for vents, hardware, or fixtures?
Yes. For a project like vents, grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, or other small parts, CSP-240 brownstone can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor match in spray paint or another specialty format MyPerfectColor offers.
Because Benjamin Moore colors are handled as custom-matched MyPerfectColor products, the order is not the original Benjamin Moore paint line. If the part needs a sprayable finish, choose the spray format rather than assuming a house-paint option.
How does finish affect how CSP-240 brownstone looks after it is sprayed on a part or fixture?
Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of CSP-240 brownstone can look different once it is applied. A glossier finish usually reads brighter and more reflective, while a flatter finish can make the color appear deeper and less reflective.
If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the exact finish on the actual substrate first. The color code alone does not define sheen, and sheen differences can change the final appearance more than many shoppers expect.
What surface prep should I do before spraying CSP-240 brownstone on metal, plastic, or wood?
Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease, dust, and loose material. Light scuffing helps on many smooth surfaces when it is appropriate, and masking should be in place before spraying CSP-240 brownstone.
For best results, test a small area on the actual substrate before coating the whole part. That is especially important on plastics and previously coated items, because adhesion and final color appearance can vary by surface.
How much CSP-240 brownstone should I order for my project?
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, how much hiding is needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.
If you are coating a larger part, rough or porous material, or a darker substrate, plan for extra product. For other MyPerfectColor formats, coverage can be much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount depends on the product type.
What spray technique should I use for CSP-240 brownstone to avoid runs or uneven color?
Apply CSP-240 brownstone in light, even coats with steady overlap and the proper spray distance for the product. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially on small parts and edges.
For a better result, build coverage gradually instead of trying to finish in one wet coat. Allow each coat to flash and dry according to the product instructions before adding the next coat, since drying time varies by format, film thickness, and temperature.

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.
