A match of Dunn Edwards 165 Burnt Crimson is a deep, muted red-brown with a warm crimson undertone. It reads low in lightness and moderately subdued rather than vivid, with enough brown in the mix to keep the red from looking clean or bright.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on metal hardware, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, railings, shelf brackets, picture frames, and other small fixtures where a dark red-brown finish is needed. It also suits PVC trim pieces, shutters, and removable accessories when the goal is to carry the same color onto smaller sprayable parts.
Because this is a dark color, substrate color and surface preparation can affect how it reads. Lighter or uneven bases may show through before full coverage is built, and gloss level can make the brown-red balance look slightly deeper or warmer. Finish, film build, and texture can also make surface flaws more visible, so proper prep matters on smooth or glossy parts.
