A match of Benjamin Moore CW-85 Randolph Gray reads as a dark, low-chroma gray with a muted olive-brown undertone. It sits closer to an earthy neutral than a clean charcoal, with a subdued cast that keeps the color restrained rather than sharp.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, outlet covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, window hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It also fits baskets, frames, and furniture accents when the goal is a dark neutral that does not pull overly black or overly green.

Because the color is dark and very muted, finish, substrate color, and film build can change how it reads. Lighter or uneven bases may need careful prep and additional coats for even coverage, and glossier finishes can make surface texture or repair marks more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ CW-85 Randolph Gray *

How do I confirm that MyPerfectColor is matching the right CW-85 Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore before I order?

Confirm the target from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch, an existing painted part, or another known reference for CW-85 Randolph Gray. A screen image can shift with monitor settings and lighting, so it is not a reliable ordering reference by itself.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of CW-85 Randolph Gray in its own paint rather than selling Benjamin Moore's original paint. For Benjamin Moore colors, use the exact color reference first, then choose the MyPerfectColor format you need, such as custom spray paint or another specialty format.

How should I prep a part before spraying CW-85 Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore?

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface, then lightly scuff it if the material and existing finish allow it. Mask off edges or areas you do not want coated, and make sure the part is dry before spraying.

Because color, sheen, and substrate all affect the final reading, test CW-85 Randolph Gray on the actual surface before coating the full item. This is especially important on glossy, uneven, or previously coated parts.

Can CW-85 Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore be used as custom spray paint on switch covers, vents, knobs, or brackets?

Yes. A MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to CW-85 Randolph Gray is practical for small parts and hardware where a smooth sprayed finish is easier than brushing. It is commonly used for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar removable items.

For the best result, remove the part if possible, clean it well, and apply light coats so the finish builds evenly without runs or heavy texture.

Can I spray CW-85 Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Often yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the prep and adhesion risk depend on the exact material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but a test on the actual item is the safest way to confirm the result before doing the whole part.

Use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion on challenging substrates, especially if the plastic is slick, flexible, or low energy. You can find it here: MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel.

Where can I find the SDS for CW-85 Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore in MyPerfectColor?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. If you are ordering CW-85 Randolph Gray, check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor format you plan to use.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: Safety Data Sheets.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore CW-85 Randolph Gray to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore CW-85 Randolph Gray 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.
