A match of Benjamin Moore 1586 Silver Mink is a muted, medium-light gray with very low chroma and a quiet green-cool undertone. It reads restrained rather than colorful, with enough depth to stay from looking washed out while still sitting in the softer range of grays.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1586 Silver Mink is well suited to vents, return grilles, switch plates, conduit covers, metal brackets, railings, mailboxes, speaker grilles, shelving hardware, appliance trim, and other small parts that benefit from a subdued gray-green finish. It can also be used on PVC, shutters, and removable fixtures when a coordinated sprayed coating is needed on a practical, sprayable surface.

Because this color is fairly muted, it does not depend on strong saturation to read correctly, but sheen and substrate texture can still shift whether it appears more gray or slightly green. On darker, uneven, or glossy surfaces, good prep and enough film build matter for even color and coverage, especially on edges and compact components.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1586 Silver Mink *

Can I use 1586 Silver Mink by Benjamin Moore in MyPerfectColor spray paint on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastic is not all the same. If you want MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1586 Silver Mink for a plastic item, clean the surface well and test on the actual material first. Some plastics are easy to coat, while low-energy plastics can resist adhesion.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastics. If the part is important or the plastic type is unknown, do a small test area before painting the full item.

How much 1586 Silver Mink by Benjamin Moore do I need if I order MyPerfectColor spray paint?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1586 Silver Mink covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Actual coverage changes with surface texture, hide, spray method, and how many coats the project needs.

If you are coating a larger item or several parts, estimate the total paintable area first and then add extra for test spraying and second coats. If you need a larger MyPerfectColor format for this color reference, coverage will depend on the specific product and package size.

What should I confirm before ordering 1586 Silver Mink by Benjamin Moore as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering 1586 Silver Mink, confirm the exact Benjamin Moore color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected color reference, not selling Benjamin Moore's original paint product.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options. Make sure the format you choose fits your project, because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Where do I find the SDS for 1586 Silver Mink by Benjamin Moore if I buy MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS depends on the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not on the color name 1586 Silver Mink alone. Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order.

If you are choosing between spray paint or another specialty format, check the SDS for that specific product before use so you are reviewing the right safety information for your order.

Will 1586 Silver Mink by Benjamin Moore look the same after MyPerfectColor match paint is applied?

It should match the selected 1586 Silver Mink reference, but the finished look can still shift with lighting, sheen, surrounding colors, and the material under the paint. A color that looked right in one setting can read a little differently once it is on the finished item.

This matters most when the painted part sits next to an existing surface. If you are matching a visible fixture, trim piece, or removable component, view the finished item in the same lighting where it will be used before deciding the match is acceptable.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1586 Silver Mink to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1586 Silver Mink 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.
