A match of Benjamin Moore 2173-40 Antique Rose is a muted warm rose with a brown-beige undertone. It reads as a soft, earthy pink rather than a clear or bright rose, with moderate depth and a restrained chroma that keeps it from looking vivid. The overall effect is warm, slightly dusty, and grounded.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, and small hardware where a warm rose tone is needed on a hard surface. It can also be useful for PVC trim pieces, lamp bases, baskets, and furniture accents after proper surface preparation, especially when a coordinated look is needed across different materials.
With an LRV of 32.35, this is a medium-deep color rather than a light pastel, so it will read more substantial on the substrate and may reveal underlying color differences if the base is very dark, patchy, or unprimed. Finish and film build can change the way the color feels; glossier finishes often make edges, texture, and repair marks more noticeable, while a flatter finish can make the rose-brown undertone read softer. Proper primer and even application help the color lay out consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2173-40 Antique Rose *
How do I confirm the right reference for 2173-40 Antique Rose before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm 2173-40 Antique Rose from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference from Benjamin Moore, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor uses that original brand color reference to make a custom match, so the key ordering step is verifying that Antique Rose is the target color you actually want.
If the color is being matched to an existing painted item, compare it under the lighting where it will be used and check whether the reference is the original brand color or an aged surface that may have changed over time.
What should I verify before ordering 2173-40 Antique Rose as a MyPerfectColor custom match?
Before ordering 2173-40 Antique Rose, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-matched orders are made to your selection, so they should be checked carefully before checkout.
For Benjamin Moore colors like 2173-40 Antique Rose, MyPerfectColor offers custom-matched non-housepaint formats rather than Benjamin Moore interior or exterior house paint options. Once the order is made, it is important to treat the selection as final because custom color orders are not returnable or refundable.
Can 2173-40 Antique Rose be ordered as MyPerfectColor spray paint for small parts and hardware?
Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore 2173-40 Antique Rose can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar parts where a sprayed finish is practical.
This is usually a good choice when you want a smooth, repeatable finish on a removable or detailed part. If the item is small, curved, or has cutouts, spray application is often easier than brushing, but surface prep still matters for adhesion and appearance.
How long does 2173-40 Antique Rose spray paint take to dry before recoating or handling?
For 2173-40 Antique Rose in spray paint form, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, recoating is typically done in 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about 2 weeks.
Those are different stages. A part may feel dry early on but still be vulnerable to marks, stacking, or installation damage until it has fully cured. If you need to recoat, stay within the recommended window and avoid heavy handling until the coating has had time to harden.
What surface prep should I do before applying 2173-40 Antique Rose to metal, plastic, or other parts?
Before applying 2173-40 Antique Rose, clean the surface, remove grease and dirt, and lightly scuff the item when the material and finish call for it. Mask any areas that should not be coated, and test the paint on the actual surface before starting the full project.
This is especially important on glossy plastics, metal, or previously coated items, because the surface condition can affect adhesion and how the matched color reads after spraying. A quick test section helps confirm that the finish, coverage, and prep steps are right for the part you are painting.
