Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Benjamin Moore OR-136 Chocolate Malt reads as a muted medium-to-deep brown with warm red-brown and yellow-brown undertones. It has an earthy, low-chroma character, so it looks less sharp than a cleaner brown and does not lean especially cool.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and hardware where a warm brown finish needs to carry across different parts. It is also a practical choice for PVC pipe, trim accessories, shelving supports, basket frames, and furniture accents when the goal is to keep the color subdued and coordinated.

Because this color sits at a fairly low LRV, it will usually read deeper over the final substrate than it does in the can, and uneven prep can show through as lighter or darker patches. Over light or uneven bases, additional coats may be needed for even coverage, and smoother or glossier finishes can make surface texture and edge buildup more noticeable. Proper surface preparation helps the color lay down more consistently on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ OR-136 Chocolate Malt *

Can I return a custom order of OR-136 Chocolate Malt if I choose the wrong product, sheen, or quantity?

No. Custom color matches are made to order, so you should confirm OR-136 Chocolate Malt, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you buy. Once a custom match is made, it is not something to order casually and expect to return if the choice was wrong.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor offers custom-matched non-housepaint formats, so make sure the format fits your project before ordering.

Can OR-136 Chocolate Malt be ordered in MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or furniture accents?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore OR-136 Chocolate Malt can be matched in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and similar items where spray application is practical.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options, so spray paint or another specialty format is the right path for these kinds of projects.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to OR-136 Chocolate Malt do I need?

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but OR-136 Chocolate Malt can take more or less depending on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

If the item is textured, porous, dark, or unevenly coated already, plan for extra paint so you do not run short before the job is complete.

Will OR-136 Chocolate Malt look the same in different finishes?

No. Finish changes how OR-136 Chocolate Malt reflects light, so the same color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss. A glossier finish usually looks more reflective, while a flatter finish reduces reflection and can make the color appear less bright on the part.

If you are matching an existing item, choose the sheen as a practical part of the order, not as a style preference.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right OR-136 Chocolate Malt Benjamin Moore match?

Confirm OR-136 Chocolate Malt from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference. Do not rely on screen viewing alone, because monitor color can shift and lead to the wrong order.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, not to Benjamin Moore's original paint product, so verify the code and name before you place the order.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore OR-136 Chocolate Malt to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore OR-136 Chocolate Malt 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.

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.
