A match of Valspar AR2104 Tuxedo Tie is a very deep charcoal with a near-black value and a subtle cool blue-gray bias. The low chroma keeps it restrained rather than vivid, so it reads as a dark neutral instead of a color-forward accent.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, cabinet pulls, railings, brackets, shelving hardware, mailboxes, and other small parts where a dark, low-color finish helps the piece blend into surrounding painted surfaces. It also suits PVC, metal trim pieces, and removable accessories that need a consistent charcoal match across different materials.
Because this is a very dark color, surface preparation, film build, and sheen have a noticeable effect on the final result. Dark tones can show sanding marks, texture, and gloss differences more clearly, and thin coverage or a patchy substrate may read unevenly at the edges. If you are coating a lighter base, careful coverage matters more than it would with a midtone color.

Confirm Valspar AR2104 Tuxedo Tie from a physical swatch or another known color reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.
If you are matching an existing painted surface, compare against the actual reference you want to reproduce because aging, sheen, and substrate can affect how the color is perceived.
Use light, even coats and keep a consistent spray distance. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy passes, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or buildup that changes how AR2104 Tuxedo Tie reads on the finished part.
If the surface is contrasting or has texture, plan on multiple thin coats rather than trying to cover in one pass. Follow the product label for recoat timing and drying guidance.
