Match of Dulux™ Apricot *

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux Apricot 45449, dry-to-touch can happen within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or full handling. Plan on recoating in 1 to 2 hours and allow about two weeks for full cure before heavy use or tight stacking. If you need the part back in service quickly, use the dry time as a guide only and follow the product directions for film build, temperature, and coat thickness.

Before ordering a custom match of Dulux Apricot 45449, confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that Apricot 45449 is the exact reference you want and that you are choosing the right MyPerfectColor product for the item you plan to paint.

If the part will be painted in more than one place or by more than one person, make sure everyone is using the same Dulux Apricot 45449 reference before you place the order.

To order a match of Dulux Apricot 45449, confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference whenever possible. Screen viewing alone can shift how Apricot appears, so MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color standard rather than what a monitor shows. If you are matching an existing painted item, compare the reference under the same lighting and on the same kind of surface before you buy.

Choose the sheen for Dulux Apricot 45449 based on how the item will be used, not just on the color itself. Higher gloss finishes usually clean more easily and can be more durable in use, but they also reflect more light and can make surface imperfections stand out. Lower gloss finishes reduce reflectivity and may hide some texture or prep marks better, but they may not clean as easily. If you are matching an existing part, try to keep the sheen consistent with that surface.

Yes. After a match of Dulux Apricot 45449 is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color reads on the finished item. The same MyPerfectColor match can look different indoors versus outdoors, or on a smooth part versus a textured one. If the item will sit beside another painted surface, judge the finish in the actual location and lighting before you commit to the full project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Apricot in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Apricot, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
