A match of Behr N470-6 Whale Gray is a dark, muted blue-gray with a cool undertone and low chroma. With an LRV of 11.21, it reads as a deeper color rather than a light gray, and the blue influence stays visible without becoming bright.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, railings, mailboxes, shutters, brackets, and small fixtures where a subdued blue-gray needs to carry across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts. It can also be used on shelves, frames, hardware, and furniture accents when you want the finish to stay visually quiet and consistent.
Because the color is relatively dark, the final look can shift with sheen, surface texture, and film build. On uneven or glossy substrates, surface marks and sheen differences may be more noticeable, and multiple light coats can help the color read more evenly. Over lighter or patchy surfaces, a suitable primer or base coat may improve consistency.
