A match of Benjamin Moore 2131-20 Midnight is a very dark blue-gray with a charcoal base and a slight cool cast. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than bright, and the low LRV means it will read as a deep, near-black tone in many lighting conditions.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim pieces, hardware, and fixture covers. The color's restrained look works well on small parts where a dark finish is needed to coordinate with surrounding painted surfaces or to reduce visual distraction on installed components.

Because this is a very dark color, finish and substrate can change how it reads. Gloss or semi-gloss can make surface marks and texture more visible, while flatter finishes can soften that effect. As with most dark matches, good prep and even film build matter, and a test spray on the actual material can help confirm coverage on metal, plastic, wood, or an existing coated part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2131-20 Midnight *

How do I confirm that 2131-20 Midnight is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 2131-20 Midnight from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch or a known existing sample, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing painted item, check the reference under the same lighting where the finished part will be used, since viewing conditions can change how the color reads.

What kinds of projects are a good fit for 2131-20 Midnight in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2131-20 Midnight is useful for parts that are awkward to brush, small enough to handle easily, or easier to finish as removable pieces. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, PVC pipe, shutters, mailboxes, speaker grilles, access panels, and other similar items.

It is also a practical choice for metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts when you want the part itself to be coated to a match of 2131-20 Midnight rather than repainting a large surface by hand.

Where do I find the SDS for 2131-20 Midnight?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 2131-20 Midnight color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you order more than one product format, make sure you review the SDS for the exact format you are buying, since the documentation can differ by product.

How much 2131-20 Midnight spray paint should I order for my project?

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

For 2131-20 Midnight, measure the parts you plan to coat and allow extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or irregular. Small fixtures and hardware often need less product than a larger rail, vent, or set of removable parts.

What should I verify before ordering 2131-20 Midnight, since custom matches are not returnable?

Before ordering, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to be sure that 2131-20 Midnight is the correct target color and that you are ordering the right product for the job.

For a Benjamin Moore color like 2131-20 Midnight, make sure you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match in the format you need rather than expecting the original Benjamin Moore product line.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 2131-20 Midnight to a different color from another paint company?

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.
