Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Benjamin Moore DC-24 Bayard Blue is a deep blue-gray with a cool cast and low chroma. At an LRV of 6.93, it reads as a dark color rather than a bright blue, with a subdued slate-like character that can shift slightly toward charcoal depending on finish and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is a practical choice for small parts and removable pieces that need a consistent dark blue finish. It can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, hardware, shelving supports, and furniture accents where spraying helps cover edges, corners, and cutouts evenly.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, surface texture and sheen differences can be noticeable, especially on glossy metal or plastic. Over light or uneven substrates, proper prep and a consistent film build help reduce show-through and keep the blue-gray reading even. Finish choice can also change how blue or charcoal the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ DC-24 Bayard Blue *

Can I order DC-24 Bayard Blue as spray paint for baskets, frames, or other small projects?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore DC-24 Bayard Blue can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match for items like baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and other removable parts. This is a MyPerfectColor match of the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not Benjamin Moore's original paint. For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options, so choose a non-housepaint format that fits the item you are coating.

How should I choose a finish for DC-24 Bayard Blue on my project?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. With DC-24 Bayard Blue, a higher gloss finish will usually look brighter and show more reflection, while a lower sheen finish will read a little softer and can hide small surface flaws better. If the part will be handled often or cleaned often, put durability and cleanup needs ahead of appearance alone. Keep in mind that gloss level can change how the matched color looks on the finished item.

What should I know before painting plastic with DC-24 Bayard Blue?

Plastic can vary a lot, so it is smart to test DC-24 Bayard Blue on the actual material first if possible. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low-energy or difficult plastics may need the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion. Clean the surface well, remove any oils or release agents, and check a small hidden area before coating the full part.

What spray technique works best for DC-24 Bayard Blue so the finish stays even?

Use several light, even coats of DC-24 Bayard Blue instead of one heavy pass. Hold the can at a steady distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the spray moving so you do not build up runs or heavy spots. Uneven film build can change how the color and sheen read, so let each coat flash off as directed before adding the next coat.

Where can I find the SDS for DC-24 Bayard Blue?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product formulation, not the DC-24 Bayard Blue color name by itself. If you need the SDS, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order. That is the correct place to review handling, storage, and safety information before painting.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore DC-24 Bayard Blue to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore DC-24 Bayard Blue 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.

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.
