Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect reads as a muted, mid-deep plum with a cool magenta undertone. It has enough red-violet color to read clearly as plum, but the low LRV keeps it subdued rather than bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be useful on small parts where a deeper plum needs to look consistent across different materials. Common uses include metal frames, brackets, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving supports, hardware, mailbox parts, and decorative accessories. It can also work on PVC, painted wood, and other prepared surfaces when the project calls for a coordinated dark plum finish on a discrete component.

Because this is a deeper color, surface preparation and even film build matter. Uneven substrate color, texture, or sheen can show through more easily than on a lighter neutral, and gloss level can change how much of the magenta undertone you notice. On contrasting or patchy surfaces, more than one coat may be needed for uniform coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1371 Plum Perfect *

For Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect, how do I choose the right sheen for my project?

MyPerfectColor can match 1371 Plum Perfect in a finish that fits the job, and the sheen you choose affects both durability and how the color looks on the finished item. Higher sheen usually gives more reflectivity and easier cleanup, while lower sheen tends to hide surface variation better and look less shiny. If the part will be handled often or needs frequent wiping, pick the sheen based on use, not just on the color name. If you are matching an existing coated part, confirm both the color reference and the sheen before ordering because the same color can look different at different gloss levels.

What surface prep should I do before painting Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect on a part or fixture?

For a better result with a match of 1371 Plum Perfect, clean the surface first, remove grease or residue, and mask off any areas you do not want coated. Light scuffing is often helpful on smooth surfaces when appropriate, and a test application on the actual item is a good way to reduce risk before you coat the full part. This matters on real-world items like vents, hardware, PVC pipe, railings, or fixtures because the substrate and its condition can change how the matched color appears.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect?

The SDS is tied to the actual MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. For 1371 Plum Perfect, you can find the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets. Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order, since the information follows the specific coating type.

How long does Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect spray paint need before recoating or handling?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1371 Plum Perfect, dry to touch is usually within minutes, recoating is typically recommended in one to two hours, and full cure is about two weeks. These are different stages, so a piece that feels dry may still need more time before heavy handling or reassembly. If you are painting a removable part, fixture, cover, or grille, plan the schedule around the cure time so the coating is not disturbed too early.

Can I return a custom-made match of Benjamin Moore 1371 Plum Perfect if the color or finish is not what I expected?

Custom-made matches of 1371 Plum Perfect should be ordered carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the Benjamin Moore color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer residential interior or exterior paint options; it offers custom-matched MyPerfectColor products for non-housepaint applications such as spray paint and other specialty formats.

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.
