A match of Behr HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue is a dark, cool blue with a subtle violet cast and a restrained chroma level. With an LRV of 7.4, it reads as a deep shade rather than a bright blue, and its low reflectance gives it a heavier, more grounded appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shutters, mailbox parts, metal frames, shelving hardware, and plastic fixtures where a repeatable deep blue is needed on small or awkward surfaces.

Because this is a dark color, coverage depends on the substrate and finish. Thin application or a lighter base can leave contrast showing through, and gloss level may make the blue read deeper or bring out the violet undertone more clearly. On textured or repaired parts, surface condition can be more noticeable once the coating cures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue *

How do I confirm I am ordering the right match of HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue from Behr?

Confirm the target color from a physical Behr swatch, a known existing painted part, or another trusted brand reference before you order. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not the best final check for a custom color order.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original Behr color reference, not to the look of an aged wall or a photo on a screen. If you are unsure about the exact target, verify the color first, then choose the MyPerfectColor product format that fits your project.

Can I return or refund a custom match of HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue if I choose the wrong product or sheen?

Custom-matched paint orders are made to your selected HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue reference, so they should be chosen carefully. If the product type, sheen, or quantity is wrong, the order may not be returnable or refundable.

Before placing the order, confirm the Behr color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen you need, and how much paint your project requires. That is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong custom match.

What surface prep should I do before spraying a match of HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue?

Start by cleaning the surface and removing dirt, grease, wax, or other contamination. If the surface is smooth and the material allows it, a light scuff can help the coating grab better.

Mask off areas you do not want painted, then test the MyPerfectColor match of HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue on the actual surface before you coat the full item. That is especially useful on plastic, metal, or previously painted parts where adhesion and color read can vary.

How should I apply HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue in spray paint to avoid runs or uneven coverage?

Apply MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue in light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep a consistent distance, overlap each pass evenly, and move at a steady pace.

Heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking color build. If the first coat is not fully covering, let it flash or dry according to the product instructions, then add another light coat.

Can I use HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue as a spray paint match for baskets, frames, or shelving?

Yes. A MyPerfectColor match of HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue can be a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and similar project parts when spray application makes the job easier.

For these projects, choose the format that fits the object, prep the surface, and test on a small area if the material is unfamiliar. MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color reference, which is useful when the goal is to coordinate a part to a known color target rather than repaint a whole room.

How do I convert Behr HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr HDC-CL-26 Champlain Blue 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.

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.
