MyPerfectColor custom spray paint made as a match of Kelly Moore 188 Cypress reads as a muted warm beige with a soft yellow-beige undertone and moderate lightness. The color is low in chroma, so it stays subdued rather than clean or vivid, and the chosen finish can make it read a little warmer or a little flatter.
This color works well for spray-painted parts that need to blend into a warm neutral finish instead of calling attention to themselves. It can be used on vents, switch covers, access panels, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, railings, mailbox parts, shelf brackets, picture frames, and small hardware where a consistent beige tone needs to carry across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.
Because 188 Cypress is fairly light and subdued, it usually covers more predictably than a vivid color, but darker substrates and uneven repairs can still show through without proper prep or primer. On smooth metal or plastic, a uniform base coat and even film build help keep the color steady, and sheen differences can make the final result read slightly lighter or deeper.

Before you order a custom match of Kelly Moore 188 Cypress, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so it is not the original Kelly Moore paint product.
Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so these order details matter. If you are matching a known color target, it is better to verify the full order now than to assume a later exchange will be possible.
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Kelly Moore 188 Cypress is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, decor pieces, and other smaller items where spray application is easier than brushing.
This format is useful when the goal is to coordinate an object to the selected color reference rather than to repaint a large wall or full piece of furniture. Make sure the item is properly prepared for the surface you are coating before you spray.
Plastics vary a lot, so it is important to test MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Kelly Moore 188 Cypress on the actual part before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but the best result still depends on the specific material and preparation.
If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the color coat. That is especially helpful on difficult or low-energy plastic surfaces where adhesion risk is higher.
The sheen you choose for Kelly Moore 188 Cypress affects reflectivity, cleanup, durability, and even how the color reads on the finished item. A flatter finish usually hides surface texture better, while a glossier finish is easier to wipe down but can make imperfections and substrate changes more visible.
Choose the sheen based on the item you are coating and the look and maintenance level you need. If the part will be handled often or cleaned often, finish selection matters as much as the color match itself.
For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Kelly Moore 188 Cypress, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. In general, spray paint is dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.
Handle the part carefully between coats and avoid heavy use until the coating has fully cured. If the item will be put back into service quickly, plan the project around those timing windows so the finish has time to build properly.

While we can provide Kelly Moore 188 Cypress 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.
