Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEW340 Whisper *

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not on the color name alone. A flatter finish usually reduces reflection, while satin or glossier finishes are easier to wipe clean and may hold up better on handled parts. Keep in mind that the same match of DEW340 Whisper can look a little different as sheen changes, because gloss level affects how light bounces off the surface. If you are coating a small fixture, trim piece, or removable part, pick the finish that best fits the wear and cleanup needs of that item.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the Dunn Edwards color name by itself. You can review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets on the Safety Data Sheets page: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets. Use the SDS for the exact product format you are ordering.

Lighting can change how a match of DEW340 Whisper reads after it is applied. Daylight, warm indoor lights, and strong direct light can all make the same coating look different, especially on glossy or textured parts. Nearby colors and the angle you view the item from also matter. If the piece will sit next to an existing painted surface, compare it in the same lighting where it will be used, because the finished item can read differently than the color chip or screen reference.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage depends on the size, texture, porosity, and color of the surface, plus how many coats you need. Rough or dark substrates, or items that need better hiding, may use more paint than expected. Measure the actual surface area of the part you plan to coat, then add extra if the item is textured or if you want a more even final appearance. For larger projects, other MyPerfectColor formats may be a better fit than spray paint.

The safest way is to confirm DEW340 Whisper from a physical swatch or a known existing painted reference, not from a monitor alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard, so the more certain you are about the reference, the lower the risk of ordering the wrong match. The color code by itself does not define sheen or the condition of an aged surface, so verify the exact target before you order.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards DEW340 Whisper 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.
