A match of Dunn Edwards DE 1093 L1 Cast Of Gray is a very light gray with a muted, slightly cool character and a faint green-gray undertone. Its low chroma keeps it restrained rather than crisp, so it reads more like a soft off-white gray than a stronger neutral.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts where a pale neutral needs to stay consistent across different materials. It works well for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, PVC trim pieces, brackets, shelving hardware, light fixture parts, mailbox details, and frame components when you want a light gray finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a very light color, dark or uneven substrates can show through more easily, so surface preparation and even coverage matter. Sheen also changes the read of the color: glossier finishes can make the subtle undertone and surface texture more noticeable, while flatter finishes tend to keep it softer. On exterior parts, finish and exposure can shift how the color appears over time, especially on small items with mixed materials or wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 1093 L1 Cast Of Gray *

How should I confirm DE 1093 L1 Cast Of Gray by Dunn Edwards before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the target from a physical Dunn Edwards swatch, paint chip, or a known existing sample of DE 1093 L1 Cast Of Gray rather than from a phone or monitor. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure the reference itself is the one you want. If you are matching an existing painted part, remember that age, sheen, and surface condition can make the old surface look different from the original color standard.

Dry to the touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages, so do not handle the item as if it is fully cured just because the surface feels dry. Light coats usually give the most controlled result.
