A match of Dunn Edwards DE 298 L1 Cascades is a very light, muted green with a soft yellow cast. It reads airy rather than saturated, with low chroma and a calm, slightly warm undertone that stays close to a pale sage or mint direction without becoming vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts and fixtures that need a quiet green finish, such as vents, switch plates, access panels, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, frames, and hardware. It can also be useful on baskets, furniture accents, and other sprayable accessories where a light coordinated coating is needed.

Because the color is very light, darker or uneven substrates may show through more readily, so coverage can take extra coats depending on the base material and prep. The final appearance can shift with sheen, film build, and surface texture, which may make it read cleaner, softer, or slightly more yellow-green. On rough plastics or aged coatings, primer and smooth surface preparation can make a noticeable difference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 298 L1 Cascades *

How should I choose a sheen for DE 298 L1 Cascades when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not on the color name alone. A match of Dunn Edwards DE 298 L1 Cascades will look a little different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes how much light the surface reflects. Lower sheen usually hides surface flaws better, while higher sheen is easier to wipe clean and can make the color read brighter or more reflective.

If you are matching a part that already has a finish, try to order the same sheen when possible so the coated item does not stand out because of the finish difference.

What spray technique gives the smoothest result with DE 298 L1 Cascades?

For DE 298 L1 Cascades, use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Hold the spray at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the can moving so paint does not build up in one spot. This helps prevent runs, uneven sheen, and areas that look too heavy or muddy.

If the surface is difficult, build coverage gradually with several coats and let each coat flash off before the next one. A test pass on scrap or an out-of-sight area can help you confirm the spray pattern before coating the final part.

Where do I find the SDS for DE 298 L1 Cascades from MyPerfectColor?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you are ordering, not to the DE 298 L1 Cascades color name by itself. If you need SDS information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to buy, or contact support with the product details.

This matters because the SDS can differ by paint type, so the color reference alone is not enough to identify the correct document.

Will DE 298 L1 Cascades look the same after I apply it to my part?

It will match the selected DE 298 L1 Cascades reference, but the finished look can still change based on lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby materials. The same color can read differently on a smooth metal part, a textured plastic part, or a surface placed next to another painted area.

If the item will sit beside an existing finish, or if the approval is sensitive, apply a sample to the actual substrate first so you can see how the color reads after it dries.

How much MyPerfectColor paint should I order for DE 298 L1 Cascades?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and the surface.

For DE 298 L1 Cascades, plan extra paint if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, or if you expect to use more than one coat to get full and even coverage.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE 298 L1 Cascades?
