Match of Dulux™ Forest Shade *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. With Dulux Forest Shade 45836, the color target stays the same, but a glossier finish will reflect more light and can be easier to wipe clean, while a flatter finish will show less reflectivity.

If you are coating a whole item, pick the sheen that best fits the surface and maintenance needs of that item. If the finish has to sit next to another painted part, keep in mind that gloss level can make the same match of Forest Shade read differently on the finished piece.

Confirm Dulux Forest Shade 45836 from a physical swatch or a known existing reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are comparing against an already painted part, remember that age, lighting, and surface wear can change how the color appears. A verified reference gives you a better basis for ordering a match of Forest Shade.

Yes. Dulux Forest Shade 45836 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, and similar projects where spray application is practical.

This is useful when the goal is to coordinate a small part or accessory to a known color reference. It can be applied to many prepared surfaces, but the final result will still depend on the substrate, prep, and number of coats.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the Dulux Forest Shade 45836 color name by itself. For Safety Data Sheets, go to https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format, check the SDS for that exact product as well, since the safety information can vary by product type.

Plastics vary widely, so it is best to test the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the substrate is difficult or low energy.

For a match of Dulux Forest Shade 45836, clean and prepare the surface carefully and use primer if the plastic is slick, flexible, or previously coated. That helps reduce the risk of adhesion problems on the finished item.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Forest Shade 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 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 Forest Shade, 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.
