A match of Dunn Edwards DET572 Dark & Stormy is a dark, low-chroma blue-gray with a cool undertone and a faint violet lean. It reads quieter than a clean navy and more colored than a neutral charcoal, with enough depth to stay subdued on small parts and fixtures.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, camera housings, railings, mailboxes, shelf brackets, metal trim pieces, and other removable hardware where a darker cool tone helps the part blend with adjacent coated surfaces. It can also be used on PVC, cabinet hardware, frames, and small architectural components after proper preparation.

Because this is a dark, muted color, it can show scratches, sanding marks, sheen differences, and substrate texture more readily than a lighter finish, especially on glossy or uneven surfaces. Film build, primer color, and topcoat sheen can shift how blue or gray it reads; a smoother, more uniform surface usually gives a more even result. If you are coating a worn part beside an older painted surface, the age and gloss of the existing finish may still read differently even when the color match is close.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET572 Dark & Stormy *

How can I confirm DET572 Dark & Stormy from Dunn Edwards before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DET572 Dark & Stormy from a physical swatch, an original brand color deck, or another known existing color reference. Do not rely on a screen image alone, since monitors and phone displays can shift the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dunn Edwards color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

What should I check before ordering DET572 Dark & Stormy as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Because DET572 Dark & Stormy is made as a custom color match, confirm the brand color reference, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before ordering. That helps reduce the risk of getting a finish or format that does not fit the project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the order details should be verified carefully before you submit the purchase.

Can DET572 Dark & Stormy be used on plastic, and what prep should I plan for?

Plastic can be a good candidate for a match of DET572 Dark & Stormy, but plastics vary a lot and the surface may need different prep or primer steps. Test on the actual plastic part first if possible, since adhesion can differ by material.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

Will DET572 Dark & Stormy look the same after it is applied in different lighting?

After a match of DET572 Dark & Stormy is applied, lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can all change how it reads on the finished item. That is normal even when the color match itself is correct.

If the part will sit next to existing painted surfaces, check the finished piece under the lighting it will actually see before you commit the whole project.

How much DET572 Dark & Stormy do I need for my project?

Coverage for DET572 Dark & Stormy depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If the surface is dark, rough, porous, or highly visible, plan for extra product so you are not short in the middle of the job.
