A match of Benjamin Moore OR-476 Purple Onion is a light, softly muted lavender with a cool pink-violet cast and a noticeable gray influence. Its low chroma keeps it quiet rather than bright, so it reads as a pale tinted color instead of a strong purple.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on smaller parts where a pale violet finish is wanted without a vivid look. Common spray-paint uses include vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, wire baskets, hardware, lamp parts, and other trim pieces or accessories that need a coordinated finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because this is a light color, coverage can be more sensitive to the substrate underneath. Dark, uneven, or stained surfaces may show through more easily and can require extra coats for an even result. The final appearance can also shift with finish and film build: a smoother, glossier application may make the lavender read a little cleaner, while a flatter finish can make it look softer and more muted.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore OR-476 Purple Onion to a different color from another paint company?

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.
