A match of Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads is a light warm neutral with a muted beige base and a soft peach-brown undertone. It reads warmer than a clean tan and softer than a saturated terracotta, with enough red and yellow in the mix to keep the color from looking gray or cool.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference is well suited to small, sprayable parts that need this softer warm neutral. It can be used on vent covers, switch plates, outlet covers, picture frames, shelving brackets, railings, mailbox parts, hardware, wicker baskets, and PVC trim pieces where a coordinated finish matters more than a bright accent color.

Because this is a fairly light color, coverage can show substrate color or patchiness more readily on dark metal, worn plastic, or unevenly prepared surfaces. A uniform base and steady film build can help it read more evenly, and gloss level can make the peachy undertone appear stronger or more subdued. On outdoor parts, finish and exposure can also shift how warm the color looks over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1226 Crossroads *

How do I choose a finish for MyPerfectColor matched to Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and cleaned, not just on the color reference. For Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads, a glossier finish will usually look more reflective and can make the same match read a little different than a flatter finish, while flatter finishes reduce shine but may be less wipeable.

If the part will be handled often, exposed to wear, or needs easier cleanup, pick the finish that fits that use case before you order. The color target stays 1226 Crossroads, but the final appearance depends on the product finish you select.

Can I return a custom order for Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads if the match is not what I expected?

Custom-made color orders for Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads should be chosen carefully, because they are made to your selected reference and are generally not returnable or refundable. Confirm the brand, color code, product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order.

If you are matching a specific part or fixture, make sure 1226 Crossroads is the correct reference for that project. The safest approach is to verify the target color and the format you need before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to that color.

Will MyPerfectColor matched to Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads adhere to plastic parts?

Plastic can be painted, but adhesion depends on the exact plastic and how it was made. For Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads, MyPerfectColor spray paint is a practical option for many plastic items, but you should test on the actual part because some plastics are harder to coat than others.

Clean the surface well, prepare it as needed, and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion when the substrate is difficult. If the part is important or highly visible, test a small area first so you know how the match and adhesion will perform on that specific plastic.

Why does Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads look different after it is applied?

Once Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads is applied, the way it reads can change with lighting, viewing angle, sheen, texture, and the colors around it. A match that looks right in one setting can appear a little different on a curved part, a rough surface, or an item placed beside older painted surfaces.

This does not mean the color reference changed. It means the finished item is being seen under real conditions, which can affect how the same match appears after application. If appearance is critical, test the color on the actual item before committing to the full project.

How much MyPerfectColor paint should I order for Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads?

Coverage for Benjamin Moore 1226 Crossroads depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are ordering a non-spray specialty format, coverage is often higher, with other paints typically covering about 400 to 600 square feet. Add extra quantity if the surface is textured, the existing color is dark, or you expect more than one coat.

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.
