A match of Benjamin Moore 2173-10 Earthly Russet is a deep, warm russet brown with a red-brown, slightly orange undertone. With a low LRV of 8.59, it reads dark and grounded rather than bright, and its moderate chroma keeps it from looking muddy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on shutters, railings, mailboxes, vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, frames, and other small parts where a dark earthy brown-red is needed. It also works well on PVC trim, hardware, and furniture accents when the goal is to carry the same color onto removable or detailed components.

Because this is a dark color, surface preparation and sheen consistency matter. On smooth metal, plastic, or previously coated parts, the finish can read deeper and cleaner; on rough or uneven substrates, texture and repair marks may show more readily. Dark colors can also make thin coverage or uneven film build more noticeable, so even application and enough coats are important for uniform color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2173-10 Earthly Russet *

How long does MyPerfectColor 2173-10 Earthly Russet take to dry, recoat, and handle on a sprayed part?

For a match of 2173-10 Earthly Russet, dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. MyPerfectColor spray paint can feel dry to the touch within minutes, but plan about 1 to 2 hours before recoating and about two weeks for full curing. If you are coating a trim piece, vent, bracket, or other removable part, avoid handling it as finished until it is fully cured and the film can resist marking.

Will MyPerfectColor 2173-10 Earthly Russet look the same in matte and gloss?

The color target stays 2173-10 Earthly Russet, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Matte reflects less light and can make the color look flatter, while gloss reflects more light and can make it look deeper or more vivid. If you need the result to coordinate with an existing item, choose the sheen carefully because the same matched color can appear different once it is on the surface.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 2173-10 Earthly Russet?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. For 2173-10 Earthly Russet, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: Safety Data Sheets. If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format for this color, check the SDS for that specific product.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor 2173-10 Earthly Russet if the order is custom made?

How do I verify that 2173-10 Earthly Russet is the right Benjamin Moore color before I order?

Confirm 2173-10 Earthly Russet against a physical swatch from Benjamin Moore or another known existing reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so verifying the target color before ordering helps ensure you get a match of 2173-10 Earthly Russet rather than a color that only looks close on your display.

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