Match of Dunn Edwards™ SP 106 Dawn *

A match of Dunn Edwards SP 106 Dawn is a light, low-chroma color, so the finished look can shift depending on lighting, sheen, and what it sits next to after application. Even when the color match is correct, a wall, trim piece, or removable part can read a little different under warm indoor light, cooler daylight, or strong direct light.

If you are matching a part that will be installed beside an existing painted surface, expect the two surfaces to show differences in age, texture, and gloss even when both are close in color. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is made to the selected SP 106 Dawn reference, but the final appearance still depends on the substrate, coating build, and viewing conditions.

Before applying a match of SP 106 Dawn to metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface well and make sure it is free of dirt, grease, loose paint, and rust. If the old coating is glossy or slick, scuffing it can help the new coating bond more consistently.

The condition of the surface matters because gloss, texture, corrosion, and contamination can affect both adhesion and how SP 106 Dawn reads after it dries. If the existing coating is failing, uneven, or badly weathered, the final result can differ from a smooth, well-prepared panel even when the color match itself is correct.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished part. A flatter finish usually hides surface variation better, while a higher-gloss finish is easier to wipe down but can make texture and application marks more noticeable.

With SP 106 Dawn, sheen also changes the way the color reads. The same color match can look softer in a low-sheen finish and brighter in a higher-sheen finish, so it is important to order the sheen that fits the actual object, not just the color name.

Yes. A match of Dunn Edwards SP 106 Dawn can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for many small project items where spray application is practical. That includes baskets, picture frames, shelving, brackets, furniture accents, hardware, signs, speaker grilles, and other accessories that need to coordinate to a known color reference.

For these kinds of projects, the key decision is whether you need a MyPerfectColor match of SP 106 Dawn on a removable or detail part, rather than the original Dunn Edwards paint product. Spray format is often the most practical choice when the item has corners, edges, or a shape that is difficult to brush evenly.

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. For SP 106 Dawn, that means making sure you are ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Dunn Edwards color reference, not the original brand's paint product.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. If the part will be installed beside an existing painted surface, double-check the reference and finish before you place the order so you get the right match for the project.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards SP 106 Dawn 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.
