A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1523 Card Black is a very dark black with a slight cool cast and extremely low chroma. It reads close to a neutral black rather than a softened charcoal, and its low LRV gives it a dense, subdued appearance on coated metal parts.
This shade is a practical choice for touch-up on powder-coated frames, brackets, enclosures, railings, machine guards, and fabricated panels after transportation damage, installation damage, field drilling, welding, or missed coverage. It can also be used on screw heads, rivet heads, trim plugs, end caps, clips, and other ancillary items that need to blend with a coated assembly.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of this reference, which is useful for coordinated replacement parts, sample panels, and field repairs where close finish control matters. Because the color is so dark, gloss, texture, film build, and substrate condition can change how the repair reads, and small touch-up areas may show edges or sheen shifts next to an older cured finish.
When the repair is against an aged or weathered part, the reference color can still be right even if the existing finish has shifted slightly, so an approved sample or retained part is often the safer guide for tight visual tolerances.
