Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Benjamin Moore 2164-40 Serengeti Sand is a warm, muted tan-brown with a sandy, slightly orange-yellow undertone. With an LRV of 28.98, it reads medium-deep rather than light, so it has more body than a beige and a quieter look than a stronger brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, shutters, brackets, shelving, frames, hardware, and PVC trim pieces. The color suits parts that need a grounded, brown-leaning sand tone and can help small metal, plastic, or wood components read as one coordinated finish after proper prep.

Because the color is moderately deep and not highly saturated, it usually sprays without the extra hiding issues seen in vivid colors, but substrate color and surface texture still matter. Darker or uneven bases may show through if film build is thin, and gloss level can make the warm undertone and surface imperfections more noticeable. For exterior pieces, finish choice and exposure can shift how warm or brown the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2164-40 Serengeti Sand *

Can I use MyPerfectColor 2164-40 Serengeti Sand on metal or over an old coating?

Yes, but the surface condition matters. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and loose paint first. Bare metal should be free of rust, and any sound existing coating should be scuffed so the new coating can grip. If the old finish is peeling, cracking, or contaminated, remove the problem areas before painting.

For items like railings, hardware, fixtures, vents, or brackets, gloss, texture, and how intact the old coating is can change how 2164-40 Serengeti Sand reads after application. A test spray on a small area is the safest way to check adhesion and appearance before committing to the full part.

Where can I find the SDS for 2164-40 Serengeti Sand from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. To get the correct document, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact product or format you plan to order.

If you are ordering 2164-40 Serengeti Sand in spray paint or another specialty format, check the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product rather than assuming one SDS covers every version.

How much 2164-40 Serengeti Sand do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding is needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. As a planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints usually cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage varies by product and surface.

For rough, porous, dark, or heavily repaired surfaces, plan extra material because 2164-40 Serengeti Sand may need additional coats for even coverage. If you are painting several parts like vents, pipe, brackets, or fixtures, it is usually better to estimate a little high than to run short midway through the job.

Will 2164-40 Serengeti Sand stick to plastic parts?

Plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the type of plastic, surface texture, and how well it was cleaned and scuffed first.

If the part is a cover, trim piece, grille, housing, or other low-energy surface, using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion and reduce the chance of failure. A small test piece is the best way to confirm that 2164-40 Serengeti Sand will bond and dry the way you need.

Will 2164-40 Serengeti Sand look the same after I apply it as it does in the color reference?

It should match the selected color reference, but the finished look can still change with lighting, sheen, substrate texture, and the surfaces around it. A spray-applied match of 2164-40 Serengeti Sand on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part can read a little differently than the same color seen on a swatch or on another object.

If the new item will sit next to an older painted surface, even small differences in aging, gloss, or texture can stand out. When the project is sensitive, test a small area first so you can judge the final appearance in the actual location.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 2164-40 Serengeti Sand to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 2164-40 Serengeti Sand 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.
