A match of Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey is a deep, low-chroma gray that reads close to charcoal. It is nearly neutral overall, with a restrained graphite look rather than a blue, brown, or green cast.

For MyPerfectColor paint matched to this building-material color reference, spray applications often make sense on replacement trim pieces, vent covers, brackets, access panels, fastener covers, and other fabricated parts that need to coordinate with nearby factory-finished material. If you are repairing shipping damage, installation marks, field-cut edges, or service wear, only product options that say Original Material Match are suitable for direct touch up in this collection because they include a sheen match.

Because this is a dark gray, finish and surface prep can change how it reads after application. Sanding marks, texture, substrate color, and gloss differences are easier to notice on deeper colors, so a repair beside existing material may still show some variation even when the color reference is correct. The color itself is restrained enough that it often covers more consistently than a vivid accent, but the final look still depends on film build and the surface underneath.

If the installed laminate or adjacent part has aged, weathered, or varied by batch, a site-specific or existing-part match can be safer than relying on the color reference alone. That is especially true when the repair must sit beside an older factory-finished surface.

Matching Egger Colors

MyPerfectColor is able to match many of the Egger colors so you can find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Egger color by matching the original Egger color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Egger paint.

The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Egger Color and may not match Egger Color standards. Refer to Egger Publications to obtain the accurate color. Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Egger color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls or fixtures for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Egger™ U961 HG Graphite Grey *

Can I use Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey for touch up after shipping damage or installation damage on laminate parts?

Yes, if you choose a MyPerfectColor product option labeled Original Material Match. For factory-finished building materials, that is the touch-up path because it includes a sheen match. Use it for chips, rub marks, cut edges, or field-work damage on Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey laminate parts. If the repair is on an older installed surface, the surrounding finish may still look different because age, sheen, and texture can affect the result.

Will Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey match an aged installed laminate surface beside the original color reference?

It can be close, but the color reference does not guarantee an invisible repair on an aged installed surface. Sun exposure, wear, cleaning, texture, embossing, and batch variation can change how Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey reads next to the existing part. If the job is high visibility or the surface has aged, test on the actual surface or compare against an existing part before committing.

Which MyPerfectColor product should I order for Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey: Original Material Match, spray paint, paint pen, or housepaint?

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose the option that explicitly says Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. Other MyPerfectColor formats can still be color-matched to Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey, but water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy do not include a sheen match and are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting rather than direct touch up.

Is Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey useful for matching laminate fixtures, trim details, or fabricated parts?

Yes. For Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey in the laminate family, MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for coordinated parts such as displays, fixtures, edge pieces, accessories, sample boards, kiosks, panels, and hardware. That use is different from repairing the original laminate face, so choose the product type based on whether you are coating a separate part or doing a true touch up.

What surface prep is needed before applying a paint match for Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey on laminate or other building materials?

Clean and degrease the part first, then prep according to the actual substrate. Metal, vinyl, fiber cement, laminate, and previously coated parts do not behave the same, so a light scuff and primer may be appropriate in some cases and not others. Test on the actual substrate before painting the full part, especially if you are matching Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey to a factory-finished surface.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey?

All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey depends on the type of paint needed. Interior and exterior house paints usually ship within 1 to 3 business days, while custom spray paint typically takes 3-5 business days to ship. The transit time depends on your location and the shipping method you choose. If your need is immediate, select Expedited Production during checkout.

Can I use this Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey paint to touch up my Egger laminate?

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Egger U961 HG Graphite Grey is based on matching an official Egger color sample we have in our archives. The color and sheen of your specific Egger materials may vary. If your laminate is not new, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. If your need for a precise match is critical, we recommend that you send a sample so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the materials of your specific batch.

Please note that there maybe differences between the color sample in our archive and your materials due to variation in manufacturing processes, aging, etc.

The color match is refined through an iterative process to improve the match accuracy of both the color and sheen.

See our Primer Selection Table to see what primer you might need and learn more about when you might need a primer. Most people don't use a primer for a touch up paint application, but a primer may improve adhesion and is typically recommended for exterior applications.
