Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1271 Hummingbird *

Confirm 1271 Hummingbird from a physical color swatch, fan deck, or another known original Benjamin Moore reference, not from a phone or monitor. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that selected brand color reference, so the key purchase decision is whether the source reference is the exact shade you want.

If you are matching an existing painted item, compare the target color in the same lighting and on the same kind of surface when possible. A screen view can shift enough to send you to the wrong color.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Use that page after you have selected the format you plan to buy, since the SDS can differ by product chemistry.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, prep, application method, hiding power, and how many coats you need. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, so small parts, vents, hardware, and accessories often need more than one can if the part is large or textured.

If you are using a different MyPerfectColor format, coverage can be much higher, often in the 400 to 600 square foot range for larger-format coatings, but the exact amount depends on the product. Plan extra if the substrate is rough, porous, or a lighter coat must hide a darker base.

The color target stays 1271 Hummingbird, but the finished look can change with substrate, surface texture, prep, and film build. A smoother, sealed part usually reflects light differently than raw wood or textured plastic, so the same match can read a little differently after application.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, aging and texture can make the new coating appear different even when the color match is correct.

Choose the finish based on the item, how it will be handled, and how much reflectivity you want in the coating. Higher gloss is usually easier to wipe clean and more reflective, while lower gloss reduces shine but can make the same 1271 Hummingbird read a little softer.

Finish also changes perceived color, so the same match of 1271 Hummingbird can look different in matte, satin, or gloss. If the part will be handled often or exposed outdoors, pick the finish that fits the use first and the look second.

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1271 Hummingbird in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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.
