A match of Benjamin Moore 2137-40 Desert Twilight is a muted medium-dark neutral that sits between taupe, gray, and beige. It has a low-chroma, earthy character with a slight olive-yellow lean, so it reads warmer and less clean than a straight gray.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is practical for vents, register covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, cabinet hardware, brackets, railings, mailboxes, PVC trim, and other small parts where a quiet architectural color is needed. It can also be used on frames, shelving supports, and accessories when a piece should coordinate with other painted components without drawing attention.

Because the color is relatively muted and mid-to-dark in value, it usually covers in a grounded, even way, but finish and substrate still matter. Sheen level, surface texture, and film build can shift how warm or gray the color appears, and darker or patchy bases may show through more than a uniform, properly prepared surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2137-40 Desert Twilight *

How do I confirm that 2137-40 Desert Twilight is the right Benjamin Moore color before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm 2137-40 Desert Twilight from a physical Benjamin Moore swatch, a color chip, or an existing part that already matches the target color. Screen images can vary, so they are not a reliable way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of 2137-40 Desert Twilight in its own paint, so the key decision is whether the brand color reference you are using is the one you want to reproduce. If the item you are painting is already aged or faded, compare against the original color reference rather than the weathered surface.

What finish should I choose for 2137-40 Desert Twilight when ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much surface reflection you want to see. The same match of 2137-40 Desert Twilight will read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss, so sheen is a practical ordering choice, not just a visual one.

Lower sheen usually reduces shine and can make small surface marks less noticeable. Higher sheen can be easier to wipe clean, but it also tends to show texture and prep flaws more clearly. If you need 2137-40 Desert Twilight for a handled part, fixture, or accessory, pick the most practical finish MyPerfectColor offers for that format rather than choosing by color name alone.

What prep should I do before spraying 2137-40 Desert Twilight with MyPerfectColor paint?

Start by cleaning the surface so dirt, dust, oils, and residue do not interfere with adhesion. If the surface is glossy or slick, a light scuff may help when appropriate, then wipe it clean again before painting.

Mask areas you do not want coated, and test the match of 2137-40 Desert Twilight on the actual surface before coating the full item. That test is especially useful on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts because substrate condition can change how the color and finish read once dry.

What kinds of projects are a good use for 2137-40 Desert Twilight in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

A match of Benjamin Moore 2137-40 Desert Twilight is a practical choice when you need a match of the color on small or awkward items that are easier to spray than brush, such as trim details, vents, grilles, pipes, railings, hardware, fixtures, accessories, and removable parts. Spray paint is often useful when you need a consistent look across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated pieces.

If the project involves a part that is easier to remove and paint off the wall or away from the installation, custom spray paint can be the simpler way to apply a match of 2137-40 Desert Twilight. For large wall areas or full-house painting, this color reference is still a color target, but the best format depends on the part you are actually coating.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to 2137-40 Desert Twilight do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power of the coating, the spray method, and how many coats are needed. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a textured surface, a dark or uneven substrate, or a part that needs more than one coat, plan for extra material. For larger non-spray formats, coverage is often in the 400 to 600 square foot range, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and application method.

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.
