A match of Kelly Moore KM101-M Carnation Pink is a light pink with a warm, red-leaning undertone and moderate chroma. It reads softer than a vivid pink, with enough color to stay noticeable without looking neon or candy-like.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to KM101-M Carnation Pink can be useful on small sprayable parts that need that warm pink reference repeated across separate pieces. Common applications include switch covers, outlet plates, lamp bases, picture frames, shelf brackets, metal or plastic trim pieces, mailbox details, speaker grilles, display hardware, baskets, and other furniture accents where a smooth sprayed finish is practical.

Because this is a light color, coverage can show darker substrates, stains, or uneven prep more readily than a deeper shade. On black plastic, worn metal, or patchy previous coatings, a uniform base and enough film build can make the final color read more evenly; sheen level and surface texture can also shift how warm or soft it appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM101-M Carnation Pink *

Can I return a MyPerfectColor order matched to KM101-M Carnation Pink if I choose the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-matched colors are made to order, so you should confirm the Kelly Moore reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you buy. Orders made to match KM101-M Carnation Pink should be treated as final because custom color matches are not returnable or refundable.

What prep should I do before applying KM101-M Carnation Pink to a new surface?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease or residue, and letting it dry fully. Lightly scuff the surface only where that is appropriate for the material and existing finish, then mask off nearby areas. Before painting the full item with a match of KM101-M Carnation Pink, test a small area on the actual surface so you can confirm adhesion, coverage, and appearance.

Will MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KM101-M Carnation Pink stick to plastic parts?

Plastics vary widely, so a test on the actual part is important before you paint the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KM101-M Carnation Pink sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics need different prep or a primer to improve adhesion. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help on difficult plastic surfaces.

Will KM101-M Carnation Pink look the same after application as it does in the swatch?

Not always. Once a match of KM101-M Carnation Pink is applied, lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can change how it reads on the finished item. If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface or under specific lighting, test it on the actual object first so you can judge the result in the real setting.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right match of KM101-M Carnation Pink?

Confirm KM101-M Carnation Pink from a physical swatch from the original Kelly Moore palette or from a known existing painted reference, not from a screen image alone.
