A match of Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue is a deep, cool blue with a noticeable gray cast and low saturation. With an LRV of 6.81, it reads as a dark color rather than a bright or clear blue, and the subdued chroma keeps the look controlled instead of vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts and fixtures where a dark blue finish is needed in a repeatable way. It is a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shutters, mailboxes, hardware, camera housings, and other metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items after proper preparation.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and finish selection matter. Higher sheen can make scratches, texture, and substrate variation more noticeable, while thin coverage may read slightly lighter or less even until full film build is reached. On dark or uneven substrates, additional coats are often needed for consistent coverage and depth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ N480-7 Midnight Blue *

How does finish affect MyPerfectColor N480-7 Midnight Blue after it is applied?

Finish changes how much light the coated item reflects, so the same match of Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue can look different once it is applied. A lower sheen usually reads less reflective, while a higher sheen can make the color appear more vivid and show more surface detail.

If you are ordering for a part, fixture, or accessory, choose the finish based on the look and use of that object, not just the color name. MyPerfectColor is matching the Behr color target; the sheen you order still affects the final appearance.

What surface prep should I do before applying MyPerfectColor N480-7 Midnight Blue?

Before using a match of Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue, clean the surface, remove grease, dust, and loose material, and lightly scuff the area where appropriate so the coating can bond better. Mask off nearby areas if you need a clean edge.

It is also smart to test the match on the actual surface before painting the full item. Surface condition, old coatings, and substrate type can change how the color and finish look after application.

Which sheen should I choose for a MyPerfectColor match of Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue?

Choose the sheen based on the item's function and the finish behavior you want for a match of Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue. Lower sheen options usually reduce reflectivity, while higher sheen options are often easier to wipe clean and can make the color look deeper or more reflective.

If the item will be handled often or needs regular cleaning, a more durable or easier-cleaning sheen may be the better ordering choice. If the part is small and you want less glare, a lower sheen can be more practical. The color reference stays the same, but the finish changes how it reads on the finished item.

How much MyPerfectColor N480-7 Midnight Blue do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you expect to use for Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For other paint formats, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet, but your actual result can be lower if the surface is rough, porous, or has strong contrast underneath. If you are coating a large fixture or several parts, plan a little extra so you do not run short before the project is complete.

How do I confirm Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue is the right color before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another reliable color reference before placing the order. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not a dependable way to verify the target color.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure the reference you are using really is Behr N480-7 Midnight Blue. That helps avoid ordering the wrong match for your project.
