A match of Behr P400-3 Folk Tale is a light green with a cool, mint-leaning cast. It reads soft rather than saturated, with enough chroma to stay clearly green while still feeling pale and airy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small parts that benefit from a clean light-green finish. Consider vents, switch covers, return grilles, speaker grilles, cabinet pulls, shelf brackets, picture frames, baskets, PVC trim pieces, mailboxes, railings, and other removable hardware. Spray application helps cover edges, corners, and surface detail without brush marks, especially on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or previously coated components.

Because this is a light color, it can show dark substrate contrast, patchy prep, or repair edges more readily than deeper shades, so even priming and film build matter. Finish also changes the read of the color: flatter sheens tend to soften it, while glossier finishes can make it look a bit clearer and reveal surface texture more easily. Over a darker or uneven base, additional coats may be needed for uniform coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ P400-3 Folk Tale *

How do I confirm P400-3 Folk Tale from Behr before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

The safest way is to confirm P400-3 Folk Tale from Behr against a physical swatch, labeled sample, or another known existing reference. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not a reliable order reference.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of the selected Behr color reference, not Behr's original paint. Verify the exact target color before you choose the product format or quantity.

What should I know about spraying P400-3 Folk Tale on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Plastic and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so test P400-3 Folk Tale on the actual part first. Clean the surface well, follow any needed scuffing or prep for the substrate, and expect adhesion to depend on the material and preparation.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is intended to stick well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on challenging parts. If the item matters, test a small area before coating the full piece.

How should I apply P400-3 Folk Tale as spray paint to avoid runs or uneven sheen?

Apply P400-3 Folk Tale in light, even coats from a consistent distance and overlap each pass slightly. Keep the can moving and do not try to cover the part in one heavy pass.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking build. If the part is complex or has edges and recesses, build color gradually with several light coats instead of one wet coat.

Which sheen should I choose for P400-3 Folk Tale when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. Higher sheen usually gives more reflectivity, easier cleanup, and better wear resistance, while lower sheen reduces reflection on the finished item.

Keep in mind that the same P400-3 Folk Tale color can look a little different across sheen levels because the finish changes how light bounces off the surface. Select the sheen that fits the application before ordering.

What should I confirm before ordering custom P400-3 Folk Tale from Behr if the order cannot be returned?

Before ordering P400-3 Folk Tale from Behr, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom color orders are made to your selected specification, so a wrong selection can be expensive to fix and may not be returnable or refundable.

This is especially important if the part will be compared against an existing painted surface or if you need a specific spray format. Double-check the reference color and the order details before you submit it.

Does Behr paint color Behr P400-3 Folk Tale need primer?

MyPerfectColor doesn't sell Behr paint, but it does match the Behr P400-3 Folk Tale and all the other Behr colors in a wide variety of paint types. The need for primer depends on the specific paint and the substrate being painted. The top quality paints these days tend to be self-priming over most surfaces, while paint at the mid to lower grade quality levels will need a separate primer. Most special situations such as bleeding type woods or difficult to adhere surfaces like plastic will often need a specialty primer. Contact MyPerfectColor support if you have specific questions about the best paint to use for your project and whether you need a primer.

How can MyPerfectColor match the Behr P400-3 Folk Tale?

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Behr P400-3 Folk Tale in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

How do I convert Behr P400-3 Folk Tale to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr P400-3 Folk Tale 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.
