A match of Home Hardware 4R3-4 Soft Iris reads as a light, cool blue with a muted lavender-gray undertone. The color is low to moderate in saturation, so it looks softer than a clear blue and carries enough gray to keep the iris note restrained. With an LRV around 47.83, it sits in the mid-light range rather than at either extreme.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small painted parts where a cool, muted blue is needed: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access panels, cabinet hardware, picture frames, shelving brackets, mailbox parts, railings, shutters, or PVC trim pieces. It is also a practical choice for fixtures and accessories that need to coordinate with an existing painted reference without drawing strong attention to the part itself.
Because the color is fairly light but not near-white, darker or uneven substrates can still influence coverage and may require more than one coat for an even result. The muted character also means the final appearance can shift with sheen, surface texture, and film build; a glossier finish may make the blue read a bit cleaner, while a flatter finish can emphasize the gray cast.

No. The same match of 4R3-4 Soft Iris can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how much light reflects off the surface.

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep a steady spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the can moving so the color builds evenly.
Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking build. If the surface is dark or uneven, plan for additional light coats instead of trying to cover everything at once.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 4R3-4 Soft Iris, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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.
