A match of Dutch Boy E24-1 Cordon Bleu reads as a deep, cool blue with a clear violet undertone. It has fairly strong color for a dark shade, so it looks more blue-purple than neutral navy. With an LRV of 10.37, it will appear quite deep and shadowed rather than light or reflective.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on smaller parts where a consistent blue-violet finish is needed, such as vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, metal frames, shelf supports, railings, mailbox components, and hardware. It can also work on PVC, plastic accessories, and painted furniture details when those items need to coordinate as removable or separate pieces.

Because this is a dark, saturated color, finish and substrate condition can change the way it reads. Gloss levels may make the blue look deeper and slightly sharper, while matte or textured surfaces can soften it. On light or uneven substrates, you may need additional coats for even coverage, and prep marks or sheen differences can be easier to notice than with a lighter color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ E24-1 Cordon Bleu *

Can I use E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy on plastic parts with MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint can be matched to E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy for many plastic items, but plastics vary. Test on the actual part first, since some plastics need better surface prep or a primer to improve adhesion. If the plastic is a difficult substrate, using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help the coating bond more reliably.

For the lowest risk, clean the part, confirm the surface type, and do a test spray on a hidden area before painting the full item.

Is E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy a good match for small parts like switch covers, vents, and hardware?

Yes, E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy is often ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts where a smooth sprayed finish is practical, such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, and similar hardware. Spray application is useful when you want the color to carry across removable or awkward parts.

Before ordering, confirm the part can be removed or masked safely and that spray paint is the right format for the material and the finish you want.

Where can I find the SDS for E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and coating chemistry, not to the Dutch Boy color name alone. For E24-1 Cordon Bleu, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing product options, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order.

How should I choose a finish when ordering E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy?

When ordering E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy, choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much light it will reflect. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and can be more durable looking, while lower sheens reduce reflection and can make surface texture less noticeable.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how the matched color appears on the finished item. If the part must sit next to another painted surface, use the sheen that best matches the surrounding finish, not just the color name.

What prep is needed before applying E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy over metal or an existing coating?

Before applying E24-1 Cordon Bleu from Dutch Boy over metal or an existing coating, clean the surface thoroughly, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can grip. The condition of the old finish matters, because gloss, texture, and wear can change the final appearance of the match.

If the existing coating is unstable, peeling, or unknown, test first on a small area before painting the full part. Good prep is especially important when you need a repeatable result on fixtures, hardware, or other exposed metal parts.

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.
