A match of Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle is a deep, low-chroma brown with a warm, slightly taupe undertone. It reads as a quiet, earthy dark color rather than a clear red-brown, and the low LRV means it will appear fairly deep once applied.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color can be used on metal brackets, handrail components, switch plates, vents, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, and other small parts where a dark brown finish needs to coordinate with an existing color reference. It also suits PVC trim pieces, hardware, baskets, frames, and accessory parts when a subdued brown is needed on a sprayable surface.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and finish choice can affect the result more noticeably than they would on a lighter shade. Lighter substrates may take additional coats for full color depth, and gloss levels can make texture, dents, and repair edges more visible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ PPU5-19 Dark Truffle *

What should I confirm before ordering Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle as a MyPerfectColor custom match?

Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you want, the sheen, and how much paint you need before you place the order. A match of Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle is a color target, and MyPerfectColor makes its own custom-matched paint to that reference. Because custom-made color matches are made to order, they are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the details first.

Where do I find the SDS for Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle from MyPerfectColor?

Look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy in the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets section. The SDS is tied to the product chemistry and format, not to the Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle color name by itself, so use the SDS for the exact paint you are ordering.

When does Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle need primer before painting?

Primer depends on the substrate and its condition, not just on Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle itself. As a rule of thumb, a primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required on a sound, properly prepared surface. If the item is bare, patchy, glossy, or otherwise hard to coat, primer is the safer choice.

Can Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle be used on plastic items, and what prep helps?

Yes, PPU5-19 Dark Truffle can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot and should be tested on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor Primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion. For the best result, clean the part, scuff if needed, prime if the plastic is difficult, and spray a test area before finishing the whole piece.

What spray technique helps Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle go on evenly?

Apply PPU5-19 Dark Truffle in light, even coats from a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly. Avoid heavy passes, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or muddy color build. For small parts like vents, hardware, grilles, or pipe, keep the coats thin and let each coat dry according to the product directions before adding the next one.

How do I convert Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr PPU5-19 Dark Truffle 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.

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.
