A match of Benjamin Moore 1379 Eggplant is a dark, low-LRV plum with a cool blue undertone and a muted, slightly gray cast. It reads as an understated eggplant rather than a bright purple, with enough depth to look rich on small parts without turning overly vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1379 Eggplant is useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelf supports, door hardware, frames, shutters, and other removable or hard-to-brush components. It can also work on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated accessories when the goal is to carry this dark plum tone across smaller sprayed surfaces.

Because this is a dark color, substrate prep and finish choice can affect the final result. Lighter or uneven undercoats may show at edges, scratches, or thin spots, and gloss levels can make texture, body filler, or repair marks more noticeable. On exterior parts, darker accent colors can also show wear and weathering more readily than quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1379 Eggplant *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor 1379 Eggplant for smoother coverage on trim, hardware, or other small parts?

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so 1379 Eggplant builds gradually instead of going on in one heavy pass. Hold the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid slowing down at edges or corners, since that is where runs and darker build-up are most likely.

If you are coating a trim piece, vent, bracket, or similar item, it is usually better to apply several thin coats than one wet coat. That approach helps reduce runs, uneven sheen, and muddy color build. Let each coat dry according to the product directions before applying the next one.

What sheen should I choose for MyPerfectColor 1379 Eggplant if I want the finished item to look a certain way?

Choose the sheen based on how durable you need the finish to be and how much reflectivity you want on the part you are coating. With 1379 Eggplant, the gloss level can change how deep or subdued the color looks on the finished item, so the sheen is part of the final appearance as well as the performance.

For items that will be handled often, cleaned regularly, or exposed to wear, a more durable finish may be more practical. For pieces where you want less reflection, a lower sheen can reduce shine, but the same color may read differently than it would in a glossier finish. If the part must coordinate with an existing surface, match both the color reference and the sheen as closely as possible.

Can MyPerfectColor 1379 Eggplant be used on plastic parts, and what should I do first?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1379 Eggplant can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so prep and testing matter. Because some plastics are low-energy or have surface treatments that affect adhesion, it is smart to test the actual material before coating the full part.

For better adhesion, use MyPerfectColor primer on the plastic if the project calls for it. That is especially helpful on tricky items like covers, housings, grilles, fittings, or accessories where the surface may not accept paint the same way as metal or wood. A small test area can help you confirm adhesion and appearance before committing to the whole piece.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor 1379 Eggplant, since custom matches are made to order?

Before ordering 1379 Eggplant, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match of the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not selling the original Benjamin Moore paint product, so choosing the right format matters.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to order carefully. If the part you are painting is visible beside an existing surface, double-check that you want a standard match to the 1379 Eggplant reference and that the finish and quantity fit the project before you place the order.

What kinds of projects work well with MyPerfectColor 1379 Eggplant in custom spray paint?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1379 Eggplant is useful when you need a known Benjamin Moore color on small, awkward, or removable items. It is a practical choice for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are harder to coat neatly with a brush.

This format is also helpful for items like switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, mailboxes, shelves, and similar components where a smooth sprayed finish is easier to control than a brushed finish. If you need the color on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part, make sure the surface is prepared properly before spraying.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1379 Eggplant to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1379 Eggplant 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.
