A match of Kelly Moore KM318-D Dreamy Blue is a medium-deep blue with a cool, slightly blue-green undertone. It reads clean rather than gray, with enough chroma to stay noticeable without pushing into an overly bright or neon look.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Kelly Moore color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, frames, shelving, and PVC trim pieces where a consistent blue finish is needed on small or awkward surfaces. It is also practical for hardware, display parts, kiosk panels, and removable components that need to match a known color reference.

Because this color has noticeable chroma and a relatively low lightness, coverage can vary with substrate color and surface texture. Darker or uneven bases may take additional coats, and gloss level can change how deep or crisp the blue appears. Outdoor exposure can be harder on saturated colors than on quieter neutrals, so finish selection and proper prep matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM318-D Dreamy Blue *

What prep should I do before ordering KM318-D Dreamy Blue as MyPerfectColor spray paint?

For KM318-D Dreamy Blue, clean the surface first, remove grease or residue, and lightly scuff it where that makes sense for the material and existing coating. Mask off areas you do not want painted, then test on the actual surface before you commit to the full project. A small test lets you check adhesion, coverage, and how the color reads on that specific item.

Can KM318-D Dreamy Blue be used on plastic items, and what should I do first?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KM318-D Dreamy Blue can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Test on the actual plastic first, because some surfaces need different prep or primer to hold the coating well. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion before you apply the color coat.

How do I choose a sheen for KM318-D Dreamy Blue in MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose sheen based on the part, the amount of wear it will see, and the look you need to coordinate. Higher sheen usually gives more reflectivity, easier cleanup, and a tougher surface, while lower sheen reduces shine and can hide surface texture better. Keep in mind that the same KM318-D Dreamy Blue color will read a little differently at different sheen levels, so match the sheen as part of the order if you are coordinating with an existing painted item.

How do I confirm Kelly Moore KM318-D Dreamy Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm KM318-D Dreamy Blue from a physical Kelly Moore swatch or another trusted original brand color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color target, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong color is to verify the exact reference before you place the order. If you only have a digital image, treat it as a starting point rather than final approval.

Are custom-matched orders for Kelly Moore KM318-D Dreamy Blue returnable?

Custom-made orders for KM318-D Dreamy Blue should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid mistakes on a custom match that cannot be sent back.
