A match of Behr MQ6-38 Patina is a medium-depth blue-green with a cool teal direction and a soft gray cast. It is muted rather than vivid, so it reads as a restrained color with clear green-blue character instead of a bright aqua or a pure green.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MQ6-38 Patina can be used on spray-friendly parts such as HVAC vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving supports, handrails, mailbox hardware, shutters, and PVC trim pieces. It also fits frames, baskets, furniture accents, and other removable accessories when you want a coordinated finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a medium, moderately muted color, coverage is usually more straightforward than with very vivid hues, but the final result still depends on substrate color, finish, and film build. Glossier finishes can make the blue-green read a little deeper and can show surface texture more clearly, while flatter finishes tend to soften the look. Even application and solid prep matter for a consistent reading.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own custom-matched paint to this Behr color reference, rather than the original brand product. If you are coating a part that will sit beside an existing painted surface, differences in age, sheen, or wear can still affect how closely the finished part reads in place.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ MQ6-38 Patina *

How do I confirm MQ6-38 Patina by Behr before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm MQ6-38 Patina from a physical Behr swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected Behr color reference, so the code tells you the target color but not the sheen, product type, or how an aged surface will look. If the match matters for a project approval, verify the exact reference before you place the order.

Can I return a MyPerfectColor custom match of MQ6-38 Patina by Behr if the color is not what I expected?

Custom-made color matches are generally not returnable or refundable, so MQ6-38 Patina should be confirmed carefully before ordering. Check the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity first. If you are matching an existing Behr color target, verify that the reference you are using is the right one before you buy.

What prep should I do before applying a MyPerfectColor match of MQ6-38 Patina to metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first, remove rust or contamination, and scuff any glossy or slick areas so the new coating can bond better. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how MQ6-38 Patina reads after it is applied. If the part is important or highly visible, test a small area before coating the full item.

Can I use a MyPerfectColor match of MQ6-38 Patina by Behr on plastic or other low-energy surfaces?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual material before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. For parts that must look consistent, do a sample application on the exact plastic you plan to paint.

Is MQ6-38 Patina by Behr practical to order in MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or hardware?

Yes.

Order MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Behr color reference in the format that fits the object, and choose enough quantity for the full project so the parts finish to the same target color.

How do I convert Behr MQ6-38 Patina to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr MQ6-38 Patina 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.
