A match of Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows is a muted gray-green beige with an olive cast and low chroma. It sits in the mid-depth range, so it reads as a quiet neutral rather than a clean taupe or a brighter green. The color can shift a bit with finish and lighting, but its overall character stays soft and restrained.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color can be used on vents, register covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, handrails, mailboxes, downspout accessories, PVC trim pieces, shelving brackets, frames, and hardware when a subdued match is needed on a small part or accessory. It also suits painted baskets, cabinet pulls, furniture accents, and removable fixture parts where spray application is easier than brushing.

Because the color is fairly low in chroma, it is generally less demanding than a vivid accent color, but substrate and film build still affect the final read. Dark, uneven, or glossy surfaces can show through more readily, so primer and additional coats may be needed for even coverage. Smooth metal or plastic may make the gray side read more clearly, while textured surfaces can bring out more of the warm olive-beige undertone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1559 Arctic Shadows *

How do I confirm Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Do not rely on a screen image alone for Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows. The safest way to confirm the color is to compare against a physical swatch from Benjamin Moore or another known existing reference.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so you should verify that 1559 Arctic Shadows is the exact target before you order. That helps reduce the risk of matching the wrong color name or a look that only seemed right on a monitor.

Will Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows look the same if I change the finish on the MyPerfectColor match?

No. The same Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows color can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted part, choose the finish deliberately before ordering. A color match in one sheen may not visually blend the same way in another sheen, even when the color formula is correct.

Where can I find the SDS for Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows color name by itself. That means the SDS can vary by product format or chemistry.

To find it, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets information for the specific product you plan to buy, such as the spray paint or other specialty format matched to 1559 Arctic Shadows.

What prep should I do before applying Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows to metal or an existing coating?

For Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows on metal or over an existing coating, start with a clean, sound surface. Remove dirt, grease, loose coating, rust, and other contamination before painting.

Light scuffing usually helps the new coating bite into a sound old finish. If the existing coating is peeling, chalky, or damaged, do not paint over it without addressing the failure first. The gloss, texture, and condition of the old surface can affect how the matched color looks after application.

Can Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows be ordered as spray paint for small parts and hardware?

Yes. A match of Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows can be used as a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match for many small parts and hardware items where a smooth sprayed finish is useful.

That includes switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar removable parts. Spray application is often a practical choice for these projects because it helps cover detailed shapes more evenly than brushing.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1559 Arctic Shadows 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.
