A match of Behr S450-5 Oarsman Blue is a medium-deep blue with a muted blue-green undertone and a noticeable gray softness. The lower chroma keeps it from reading bright or crisp, and the low LRV gives it a fairly deep, grounded appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color reference can be useful for vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutter hardware, cabinet pulls, and other small parts that need a coordinated blue-gray finish. It also suits PVC fittings, equipment housings, shelf supports, and removable fixtures where a subdued blue with a green cast is practical to apply by spray.
Because this color is relatively muted rather than highly saturated, it often covers more evenly than vivid hues, but finish, substrate, and film build still affect the result. Thin application over darker or uneven surfaces can leave contrast visible, and gloss levels may make texture or surface repairs more noticeable. Good surface preparation and even coat buildup matter on metal and plastic parts, especially around edges and corners.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ S450-5 Oarsman Blue *
Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to S450-5 Oarsman Blue by Behr?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Behr color name by itself. For this color match, review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm so you are looking at the SDS for the actual paint product and chemistry you plan to buy.
Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to S450-5 Oarsman Blue by Behr for baskets, frames, or shelf pieces?
Yes. A match of S450-5 Oarsman Blue is a practical choice in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small projects like baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, and similar removable items. Spray paint is usually the easiest format when the goal is to coordinate a part or accessory to a known color reference. Make sure the object can be coated evenly and that the shape and surface are suitable for spray application before ordering.
What prep is needed before spraying S450-5 Oarsman Blue by Behr on metal or over an existing coating?
Clean the part first so dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the old coating is glossy, scuff it so the new paint has something to grip, and remove any loose paint, rust, or failing spots before spraying. The final appearance of a match of S450-5 Oarsman Blue can change if the old surface has heavy texture, rust, or uneven gloss, so test a small area when the part is important.
Will MyPerfectColor matched to S450-5 Oarsman Blue by Behr look the same in matte and gloss spray paint?
No. The color reference is the same, but the finish changes how S450-5 Oarsman Blue reads after it is applied. Matte, satin, and gloss reflect light differently, so the same match can appear deeper, brighter, or softer depending on sheen. If the new part will sit near an existing painted surface, consider the finish as part of the match decision and do not expect sheen to disappear from view.
How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to S450-5 Oarsman Blue by Behr need before recoating or handling?
Plan on dry to touch within minutes, recoating in one to two hours, and full cure in about two weeks. Those are different stages, so an item can feel dry before it is ready for heavy handling, stacking, or installation. If you are applying multiple coats to a match of S450-5 Oarsman Blue, keep the recoats within the recommended window so the finish builds correctly.
