A match of Dutch Boy G-12-6 Opal is a light aqua-green with a cool blue-green bias and a soft, slightly gray cast. It reads as a quiet color rather than a vivid one, with moderate lightness and restrained saturation that keeps it from looking bright or sharp.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access panels, shelf brackets, handrails, picture frames, baskets, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, and small hardware. It is also a practical choice for removable parts, appliance accents, and other sprayable surfaces where a light blue-green finish needs to stay consistent across different materials.
Because this is a light color, darker substrates or unevenly prepped surfaces can show through more easily than they would with a deeper shade. Finish and film build also affect how the color reads; a smoother, glossier application can make the blue-green character appear cleaner, while a flatter finish may make it look softer and more muted. On exterior parts, the color is still subject to normal weathering and the surface condition underneath will influence the final result.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the substrate hides, the application method, and how many coats you need. If you are using spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet. Plan for extra material if the surface is rough, porous, or likely to need more than one coat.
Before you place the order, confirm the original brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. A custom-made match of Dutch Boy G-12-6 Opal is made specifically for your order, so it should be chosen carefully. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so verify the target color and format before checkout.
Even after you choose the correct match, Dutch Boy G-12-6 Opal can read differently once it is on the part because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces all affect how the color appears. If the item will be viewed in a specific setting, check it in that same lighting before committing to a full project. This is especially important when the finished part will sit next to existing painted surfaces.
Yes, but plastic types vary widely, so it is important to test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces. For added prep support, MyPerfectColor also offers a primer for acrylic enamel: primer for acrylic enamel.
Confirm Dutch Boy G-12-6 Opal from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you order. This helps avoid selecting the wrong reference if the color is being used for a coordinated part, fixture, or replacement item.

While we can provide Dutch Boy G-12-6 Opal 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.
