A match of Benjamin Moore OR-188 Hearts Aflutter is a deep, warm red with a berry-plum cast and relatively low lightness. It reads as a saturated but not bright color, with enough depth to feel grounded while still showing its red character clearly.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small parts and hardware that need a strong red-brown note rather than a clean primary red. It can work on items such as frames, brackets, railings, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, vent covers, shutters, and furniture accents where a spray finish is practical and consistent coverage matters.

Because this is a dark, fairly rich color, surface preparation and film build matter. Edges, scratches, and sheen differences can be more noticeable on a color this deep, and a complete, even coat often reads better than a thin pass. On darker or uneven substrates, the finish may take more than one coat to level out visually.

For Benjamin Moore color references, MyPerfectColor supplies its own custom-matched paint rather than the original brand product, and the match is intended for non-housepaint formats such as spray paint and other specialty applications. Final appearance can shift with substrate, texture, and sheen, so the applied result may read a little lighter or darker than the reference chip or screen view.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ OR-188 Hearts Aflutter *

How do I find the SDS for OR-188 Hearts Aflutter by Benjamin Moore?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to OR-188 Hearts Aflutter by name alone. Find the Safety Data Sheets for the specific MyPerfectColor item you plan to order, then use the SDS that matches that product format.

If you need handling, storage, or disposal details before ordering or using a match of OR-188 Hearts Aflutter, review the SDS first so you are looking at the right chemistry.

Will OR-188 Hearts Aflutter look the same in matte and gloss?

No. The same match of OR-188 Hearts Aflutter can read differently as the finish changes. A flatter finish reflects less light, while a glossier finish can make the color look deeper and more reflective.

If your project will sit next to an existing painted part, choose the finish carefully because sheen can change the way the matched color reads on the finished item.

Which finish should I choose when ordering OR-188 Hearts Aflutter from MyPerfectColor?

Choose the finish based on the part you are painting, how it will be used, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Flatter finishes usually hide minor surface variation better, while glossier finishes are easier to wipe clean and show more shine.

For Benjamin Moore colors like OR-188 Hearts Aflutter, MyPerfectColor supplies a custom match in its non-housepaint formats, so pick the finish that best fits the item and the surrounding surfaces. If you need a sprayed part, match the sheen as closely as practical to the area it will sit beside.

How should I prep a part before spraying OR-188 Hearts Aflutter?

Start by cleaning off dust, grease, and residue. If the surface is smooth and the substrate allows it, lightly scuff it so the coating can grip better. Mask off any areas that should not be painted.

Before painting the full part, test a small area on the actual surface. Prep matters because contamination, texture, and substrate differences can change how OR-188 Hearts Aflutter looks after application.

How much OR-188 Hearts Aflutter should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the application method, the hiding power of the color, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For larger parts or more absorbent or uneven surfaces, plan for extra material so you can complete the job and any needed second coat. If you are unsure, estimate conservatively rather than ordering only the minimum amount.
