A match of Benjamin Moore 1631 Midnight Oil is a very dark charcoal-gray with a slight cool cast and almost no chroma. It reads as a restrained near-neutral rather than a blue or black color, and its low LRV keeps the appearance deep and subdued.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 1631 Midnight Oil is useful for small parts where a dark, controlled finish is needed. It can be applied to vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, shelf supports, camera housings, and other removable pieces that need to coordinate with an existing color reference. It also suits metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated accessories when proper surface preparation is used.
Because this is a dark color, surface condition and sheen can affect how it reads. Scratches, dents, and texture may show more clearly than they would in a lighter gray, and finish choice can shift the look from flatter to more reflective. Even film build and substrate color can influence the final depth, so consistent prep and even spray application matter, especially on glossy plastics or worn metal. On lighter surfaces, a uniform base can help the color read more evenly.

This collection is for MyPerfectColor matched paint, not Benjamin Moore's original paint product line. For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint options, so spray paint and other specialty formats are the right place to look for these projects.
The same Benjamin Moore 1631 Midnight Oil color can look different after application depending on the finish and the surface underneath it. A glossier finish reflects more light and can make the color read differently than a flatter finish.
Texture, substrate color, and film build also affect the final appearance. If you need the match to look consistent on a specific part, consider the finish as part of the product choice, not just the color reference.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the sprayed surface to perform. For parts that will be handled often or need easier wipe cleanup, a more durable and more reflective finish is usually the practical choice if it is offered for the format you are ordering.
If you want less glare or want surface texture to show less, a flatter finish is usually better. For Benjamin Moore 1631 Midnight Oil, the color match stays the same, but the sheen changes how the finished item reads.
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on the size of the parts, the surface texture, the spray method, and how many coats are needed.
For small items like switch plates, vents, knobs, and grilles, one can may cover several pieces. If the surface is rough, porous, or a major color change is involved, plan for extra paint so you do not run short before the project is finished.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. If you are ordering 1631 Midnight Oil in a MyPerfectColor format, use the SDS for that specific product.
