Match of Dulux™ Cockatoo *

Confirm Cockatoo 45671 from a physical swatch, chip, fan deck, or other known original brand reference rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of Cockatoo, so the order should be based on the target color reference you want matched, not on how the color appears on your monitor or in another photo.

If you are matching an existing part, check that the reference is the same Cockatoo color and not a faded or aged surface, since lighting and wear can change how the color reads.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to behave on the surface. Lower-gloss finishes usually reflect less light and can hide small surface imperfections better, while higher-gloss finishes are typically easier to wipe clean and will reflect more light, which can make a match of Cockatoo 45671 look different on the finished item.

If the part will be handled often, cleaned often, or installed where reflection matters, confirm the sheen before you order so the MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint fits the application.

Plan carefully before ordering Cockatoo 45671, because MyPerfectColor custom color matches are made for the specific color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity you select. Custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable.

Before you buy, confirm that Cockatoo 45671 is the correct reference and that you have chosen the right format for your project so you do not end up ordering the wrong product.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Cockatoo 45671 color name by itself. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm and match it to the exact paint product or chemistry you are buying.

If you are choosing between product formats, review the SDS for the one you plan to use before ordering.

Primer depends on the substrate, surface condition, and paint type, so there is no single rule for every Cockatoo 45671 project. In general, primer is a good idea on bare, repaired, glossy, or hard-to-bond surfaces because it can improve adhesion and help the finish apply more evenly, but it is not always required.

Check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use, and test a small area first if the surface is unfamiliar.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Cockatoo 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Dulux Cockatoo which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Cockatoo, 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.
