A match of Ralph Lauren RL1966 Anchor Blue reads as a dark, cool blue with a slight violet cast. The low lightness gives it a deep navy-like character, while the moderate chroma keeps it from looking flat or charcoal. In MyPerfectColor paint, it is a match of the selected brand color reference for projects that need that specific blue depth.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to RL1966 Anchor Blue can be used on metal railings, mailbox parts, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelf brackets, cabinet pulls, vents, and painted PVC trim pieces where a dark blue finish needs to be applied cleanly to a small part or accessory. It also fits display hardware, equipment covers, and removable architectural details that are easier to spray than brush.
Because this is a dark, moderately saturated color, surface prep and even film build matter. Scratches, sanding marks, and sheen differences can be easier to notice on the finished part, and thin spray passes may read slightly lighter on edges or porous areas. Finish choice and substrate can shift how deep the blue appears, so apply it evenly over a properly prepared surface.

For many years, Ralph Lauren offered paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold these through various home centers. A few years ago, Ralph Lauren decided to stop selling paint and as a result, it is no longer available to purchase, and thus for many people, these are simply discontinued paint colors.
But you are not out of luck. You can find Ralph Lauren RL1966 Anchor Blue at MyPerfectColor, of course! MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Ralph Lauren color by matching the original Ralph Lauren color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor does not use Ralph Lauren paint as it is no longer available. MyPerfectColor matches Ralph Lauren RL1966 Anchor Blue based on Ralph Lauren's color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Ralph Lauren Color and may not match Ralph Lauren Color standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ralph Lauren™ RL1966 Anchor Blue *
Will a match of RL1966 Anchor Blue still look the same after application, or can lighting and nearby surfaces change how it reads?
Yes. A MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue can still read a little differently once it is on the part because lighting, sheen, texture, film build, and nearby surfaces all affect appearance. The same color can look deeper or lighter depending on where it is installed and how it is viewed.
If you are coating a visible trim piece, fixture, vent, or removable part, it is best to check the match on the actual substrate and under the lighting where it will live. That helps you confirm the finished look before committing to the full project.
What surface prep should I do before using a MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue?
For a better result, clean the surface first, remove grease or residue, and let it dry fully. Light scuffing can help on suitable surfaces, and masking should be used where you need clean edges. If the item is glossy, dirty, oily, or previously coated, prep matters even more.
Before spraying a larger area, test the MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue on the actual surface so you can confirm adhesion, appearance, and coverage. Different materials such as metal, plastic, wood, and already coated parts can need different prep steps.
Can I return a custom-made MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue if I ordered the wrong color or sheen?
Custom-matched orders should be chosen carefully because a MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue is made to your selected reference and is not something to order casually. Before placing the order, confirm the exact brand color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need.
If you are unsure about the reference, it is better to confirm it first rather than rely on screen color alone. Once a custom color order is made, you should expect limited flexibility, so verification before purchase is important.
How long does a MyPerfectColor spray paint match of RL1966 Anchor Blue take to dry and recoat?
For spray paint matched to RL1966 Anchor Blue, dry-to-touch can happen in minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or for full handling. Recoating is typically in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks.
Plan for those stages separately: dry-to-touch, recoat, and fully cured. If the part will be handled, installed, or put into service, give the coating enough time to cure so you do not mark or damage the finish too early.
How do I confirm that RL1966 Anchor Blue is the right reference before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm RL1966 Anchor Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing brand reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the key step is making sure the target color is correct before you order.
Once the reference is confirmed, choose the product format and sheen that fit your project. That helps you order a MyPerfectColor match of RL1966 Anchor Blue with fewer surprises after the paint arrives.
