A match of Dunn Edwards DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry reads as a medium-deep berry rose with a muted, slightly dusty character. It has a warm red base with a subtle mauve-plum cast, so it looks less bright than a clear red and less brown than a rust tone. The low LRV points to a fairly deep overall appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Dunn Edwards reference can be used on small parts where a defined berry tone is useful. Common sprayable examples include metal frames, shelf brackets, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, hardware, and decorative fixtures. It also suits PVC trim pieces, baskets, and painted accessories when you need a repeatable color on a surface that can be sprayed cleanly.
Because the color is fairly deep, surface prep and finish choice matter. Light or patchy substrates can show through more easily until enough even coats are built up, and gloss level can make the color read richer or more subdued. On worn, textured, or previously coated parts, the final appearance can shift with film build, surface texture, and the amount of light hitting the object.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry *
Can I order DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry as custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, knobs, and other small hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items.
Spray paint is often the practical choice when you want a smooth, even finish on removable or awkward pieces. It is best for parts that can be taken off, cleaned, and coated from several angles. If the item will sit next to an older painted surface, keep in mind that sheen, texture, and age can still affect how the finished part reads.
Which sheen should I choose for DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry when ordering a match for fixtures or hardware?
Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color name. A higher gloss finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can be more durable on handled parts, but it will also reflect more light and can make DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry look different than it does in a flatter finish.
A lower sheen can reduce shine and may help hide surface marks on some items, but it can also be less forgiving in cleanup. If the part must coordinate with an existing coated surface, match the sheen as closely as possible because the same color reference can look different in different finishes.
Where do I find the SDS for DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry from MyPerfectColor?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product formula and chemistry, not to the Dunn Edwards color name alone. To get the correct safety document, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product format you plan to order.
If you are comparing spray paint to another format, check the SDS for each one separately before use. That is the safest way to confirm the handling, safety, and compliance information for the exact product you will receive.
How do I confirm DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry before I order a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing reference, not from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry based on the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure that is the exact color you want to order.
If you are matching an already painted surface, remember that an aged surface may not look exactly like the original standard because of wear, fade, and sheen changes. For the lowest risk, verify the color reference before ordering rather than relying only on a photo or monitor image.
Can DE 785 U2 Dawn Berry be used on plastic parts, and do I need primer?
MyPerfectColor spray paint can work on many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important. Clean the surface well, and if the material is difficult or low energy, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion.
For the best chance of success, test on a hidden area or a spare piece first. That is especially important on flexible plastics, slick plastics, or parts that will be handled often, because adhesion can differ even when the color match is correct.
