A match of Benjamin Moore OR-488 Serene reads as a very light, low-chroma off-white with a soft warm cast. It sits closer to cream-beige than to a clean white, so it looks quiet rather than bright or stark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to OR-488 Serene is useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, PVC trim pieces, rail brackets, shelf supports, mailboxes, and other small parts where a subdued light neutral needs to carry through a project. It can also be applied to fixtures, hardware, frames, baskets, and accessory pieces when you want the color to blend in without looking pure white.

Because the color is light, dark or uneven substrates can show through more readily if the prep is thin or patchy. A smooth base and even coverage help the color stay consistent, and sheen will change how much of the underlying surface texture you notice. On exterior parts, the muted character is less demanding than a vivid color, but finish choice and exposure still affect how the color reads over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ OR-488 Serene *

Where can I find the SDS for OR-488 Serene by Benjamin Moore in MyPerfectColor?

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for OR-488 Serene are listed at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. The SDS applies to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Benjamin Moore color name by itself.

Before ordering, check the sheet for the exact format you plan to buy so you have the correct safety and handling information for that product.

Can OR-488 Serene be ordered in MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or shelf parts?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore OR-488 Serene can be matched in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, and other small parts where spray application is practical.

This is a good fit when your goal is to coordinate a removable or awkward-shaped item to a known Benjamin Moore color reference. Make sure the surface is cleaned and prepared first, and consider whether the item needs masking or disassembly before spraying.

Will OR-488 Serene look the same after it is sprayed on a part and installed?

Not always. Once OR-488 Serene is applied, the finished look can still change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A match can be correct to the color reference and still read differently on a finished item than it did on a swatch.

If the part will sit right next to an existing painted surface, expect aging, texture, and gloss differences to be visible. For the lowest risk, choose the MyPerfectColor product for the actual item and finish you plan to use, then evaluate it in the lighting where it will live.

How should I choose a finish for OR-488 Serene when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish for OR-488 Serene based on how the part will be used, how much reflectivity you want, and how easy the surface needs to be to clean. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce glare and can make application marks less noticeable. Higher sheen finishes usually wipe down more easily but can show surface flaws more clearly.

The color code does not define sheen, so the same OR-488 Serene match can look different depending on finish. If the item will be handled often or exposed to cleaning, pick the finish that fits the use case rather than assuming the code alone will control the result.

How much coverage should I plan for with OR-488 Serene in spray paint?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for OR-488 Serene depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

For small objects like frames, baskets, vents, or hardware, one can may cover several items if they are compact and properly prepared. For larger parts or porous surfaces, plan extra material because light colors and uneven substrates may need more than one coat for even coverage.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore OR-488 Serene to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore OR-488 Serene 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.
