A match of Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon is a soft, cool-leaning blue-gray with a muted, slightly hazy character. It reads restrained rather than bright, and the gray component keeps the color from feeling overly saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference is practical for smaller parts and finished components that need to stay in step with a known color. It can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving supports, PVC trim pieces, and hardware where spray application helps cover edges, perforations, and tight profiles more evenly than brushing.

Because this is a lighter, subdued color, dark or uneven substrates may show through more readily if surface prep or film build is inconsistent. Sheen, texture, and the underlying material can also shift how blue or gray the color appears, so coverage and finish selection matter on visible parts. When a new coated part sits beside an older painted surface, differences in aging and sheen can become noticeable even when the color match is close.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1478 Horizon *

Can I return a custom-made match of Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon if I order the wrong finish or quantity?

Custom-made MyPerfectColor orders matched to Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon should be chosen carefully because they are made to your selected color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity. Once made, these custom color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering, confirm that 1478 Horizon is the exact color target you want and that you are selecting a non-housepaint format that fits the project, such as spray paint or another specialty format MyPerfectColor offers for Benjamin Moore colors.

Can Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon be ordered as spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware when a smooth sprayed finish is the goal. It is a practical option for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items.

This is a MyPerfectColor match of 1478 Horizon, not the original Benjamin Moore paint. For this collection, focus on the format that fits the part you are painting, since Benjamin Moore color matches are offered in non-housepaint formats rather than interior or exterior house paint products.

How do I choose the right sheen for Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon?

Choose the sheen for how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Higher gloss is usually easier to wipe down and can look more reflective, while lower sheen options reduce shine and can make surface texture less noticeable. The sheen you choose also changes how Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon reads on the finished item.

If you are matching a part that will sit near an existing surface, try to keep the sheen consistent with that nearby surface when possible. For Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon, the best choice is the finish that fits the object and the amount of wear it will see, not just the color name.

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint in Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon take to dry and recoat?

For Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon in spray paint, dry-to-touch time is usually within minutes, but dry to touch is not the same as ready for another coat or full handling. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about 2 weeks for full cure.

Do not judge the final finish too early. If you are painting a part that will be handled, installed, or reassembled, wait until the coating has had enough time to harden before putting the item back into service.

Will Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon look the same on the finished item as it did on the swatch?

A match of Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon is matched to the selected color reference, but the finished appearance can still change based on lighting, sheen, surface texture, substrate, and nearby surfaces. A sprayed part can read a little differently once it is installed and viewed in its actual setting.

If the item will be placed next to an existing painted surface, be aware that age and wear on the old surface can make the new coating look different even when the color match is correct. For the most reliable result, judge 1478 Horizon on the actual object and finish you plan to use.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1478 Horizon 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.
