A match of Benjamin Moore CW-680 Mopboard Black reads as a very dark charcoal-black with a cool cast and only a trace of blue-gray in the undertone. With an LRV of 3.93 and very low chroma, it sits close to black rather than reading as a softened gray.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to CW-680 Mopboard Black can be used on small parts and accessories where a deep dark finish is needed, such as vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, metal hardware, railings, mailbox components, picture frames, and PVC trim details. It is also a practical choice for painted furniture accents, display fixtures, and removable parts that need to follow a known brand color reference without repainting a larger surface.

Because this is such a dark color, surface preparation and even film build matter. Dull, scuffed, or uneven substrates can show through more easily in the final appearance, especially with a glossier sheen, so a uniform base and consistent spray passes help the color read cleanly. Finish and substrate texture can shift how black or how gray the color appears, so the same match may look slightly different on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ CW-680 Mopboard Black *

How should I verify CW-680 Mopboard Black before ordering a custom match from MyPerfectColor?

Confirm the exact color reference first, including the code CW-680 and the name Mopboard Black, because MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to that selected brand color reference, not selling Benjamin Moore's original paint product.

Before you place the order, double-check the product format, sheen, and quantity you need. For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint options, so choose from the MyPerfectColor non-housepaint formats that fit your project.

Which finish should I choose for CW-680 Mopboard Black if I want the right result on the finished item?

The finish matters as much as the color reference because gloss level changes how CW-680 Mopboard Black reads on the finished item. Higher gloss usually looks more reflective, can be easier to clean, and may show surface flaws more easily. Lower sheen usually looks less reflective and can be more forgiving on parts with texture or small imperfections.

Since CW-680 Mopboard Black is only a color target, not a product line or sheen, choose the finish based on how the item will be used and handled. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of this Benjamin Moore color, make sure the sheen you select matches the practical needs of the part you are painting.

How much CW-680 Mopboard Black should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the job needs. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage can be higher or lower based on the surface and application.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for extra material because CW-680 Mopboard Black may need more than one coat to look even. It is usually better to order a little more than the minimum if you need to finish a full part or multiple pieces in the same color.

What is the best way to spray CW-680 Mopboard Black for an even finish?

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving at a consistent distance from the surface. Slight overlap between passes helps the color build evenly and reduces striping or patchy areas. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking film build.

For parts with edges, grooves, or texture, expect to apply several thin coats instead of one heavy coat. That approach usually gives better control with MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to CW-680 Mopboard Black and helps the finish look more uniform on the final item.

Will CW-680 Mopboard Black look the same after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

The color match is made to the selected CW-680 Mopboard Black reference, but the finished item can still look different once it is installed or used. Lighting, placement, sheen, and the surfaces around it all affect how the color reads after application.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, compare it in the same lighting and viewing conditions whenever possible. That is the best way to judge how the MyPerfectColor match of CW-680 Mopboard Black will appear in the real setting, because nearby aging, texture, and gloss can change what you see.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore CW-680 Mopboard Black to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore CW-680 Mopboard Black 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.
