A match of Dutch Boy Y-17-1 Danish Cream is a light cream with a warm yellow undertone and a soft beige cast. It reads quiet rather than bright, with enough warmth to feel creamy instead of stark white.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on white PVC pipe, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, and small fixtures where a warm cream finish needs to carry across metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces. It also suits hardware, frames, baskets, and accessory parts that are easier to refinish by spraying than by brushing.
Because this is a light color, darker substrates, patchy prep, or uneven existing coatings can show through more easily, so primer and even coverage matter. The final read can also shift with sheen, film build, and surface texture; a smoother or glossier finish may make the yellow-beige undertone appear a little clearer.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Dutch Boy color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.
If you need the SDS for a specific format such as spray paint, make sure you are reviewing the sheet for that exact product before ordering or using it.
Before ordering, confirm the Dutch Boy Y-17-1 Danish Cream reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so choosing the correct product details matters.
Custom-made color orders are made specifically for your project and are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the color target and order details carefully before checkout.
Choose the sheen based on how durable the item needs to be, how much reflectivity you want, and how you plan to clean the finished surface. A higher sheen usually shows more reflection and can make surface texture or prep more noticeable, while a lower sheen reduces reflectivity.
The color match is the same target, but the finished look can read differently across sheens, so pick the sheen that fits the actual part you are coating rather than the color name alone.
Confirm Dutch Boy Y-17-1 Danish Cream from a physical swatch, a known existing painted surface, or another trusted original brand reference before placing the order. Screen viewing alone can be unreliable because monitors and phones can shift color appearance.
MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure the target color is the one you actually want before you order the custom paint.
Yes, but plastics can vary a lot, so test the coating on the actual material first if possible. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but surface prep and the specific plastic type can affect results.
Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult substrates. For parts that are slick, flexible, or unfamiliar, a test piece is the safest way to confirm the finish before coating the full item.
MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dutch Boy Y-17-1 Danish Cream enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.
The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Dutch Boy Y-17-1 Danish Cream 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.
