A match of Dunn Edwards DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse reads as a light, bright yellow-green with a clear chartreuse lean. The color has strong chroma, so it looks fresh and active rather than muted, and the high lightness keeps it from feeling deep or heavy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts and hardware where a yellow-green accent is needed. It is a practical choice for speaker grilles, switch plates, cabinet pulls, brackets, frames, shelving supports, mailboxes, vents, shutters, railings, PVC pieces, and removable fixtures that need a coordinated finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a vivid, high-chroma color, it may need more than one coat for even coverage, especially over dark or uneven substrates. Surface texture, sheen, and film build can change how intense or clean the color appears, and outdoor exposure can be harder on saturated yellow-green tones than on quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse *

Where do I find the SDS for Dunn Edwards DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product matched to Dunn Edwards DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse, not to the color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to order so you are reviewing the right chemistry before purchase.

How much DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse spray paint should I order for my project?

Plan coverage based on the actual surface area, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet. Because DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse is a vivid color, test coverage on your actual surface and allow for extra coats if the base is dark, uneven, or porous.

Can DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse be ordered for baskets, frames, or decor pieces?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse in spray paint and other formats for small projects where the goal is to coordinate an object to a known color reference. It is commonly used for items like baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, knobs, hardware, furniture accents, and similar accessories where spray application is practical.

What should I expect for dry time when spraying DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse?

For a spray-paint application, DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse should be dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in one to two hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks. Dry to the touch does not mean fully cured, so let the part finish curing before heavy handling or installation if that matters for your project.

How should I prep a surface before using DE 202 M3 Le Chartreuse matched spray paint?

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface, then lightly scuff it where appropriate, mask off anything that should not be painted, and test the finish on the actual substrate before doing the full project. Good prep matters for adhesion and for how the matched color reads on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated surface.
