A match of Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes is a muted blue-gray with a cool undertone and moderate lightness. The low chroma keeps it restrained rather than bright, and it can read a little more blue in clearer light or more gray in softer light. With an LRV of 33.26, it has enough depth to feel grounded without moving into a very dark range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, metal brackets, handrails, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, shelving, frames, and PVC fittings where a controlled blue-gray finish is needed. On small fixtures and removable parts, spray application can help cover profiles, edges, and perforations more evenly than brush application.

Because this is a quiet, low-chroma color, it usually behaves more predictably than a vivid shade, but the final appearance still depends on substrate, finish, and film build. Darker or uneven surfaces can show through more readily at first, and gloss levels can make texture, dents, and repair marks more noticeable. Careful preparation and even coats are especially useful on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1643 Franklin Lakes *

How do I confirm Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes from a physical swatch or another known color reference before you order. Screen images, phone displays, and printed photos can shift the color enough to lead to the wrong match.

MyPerfectColor makes paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, not Benjamin Moore's original paint product, so the order should be based on the target color you have verified in hand.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes color name by itself. Check the SDS for the specific product format you plan to order.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

Why does Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes look different after I apply a MyPerfectColor match?

Even when Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes is matched correctly, the finished look can change with lighting, sheen, placement, surface texture, and the colors next to it. A smooth, glossy part can read differently than a flat, textured, or aged surface.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted area, evaluate the finished coating in the actual location and lighting where it will be used. That is the best way to judge how the matched color reads on the real part.

What spray application tips help with Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

For Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and avoid lingering in one spot so the film does not build up unevenly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, texture, or a muddy-looking build, especially on edges and vertical surfaces. Let each coat set up as directed on the product label before adding the next coat.

How do I choose a finish for Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes when ordering MyPerfectColor?

Choose the finish for Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes based on how the part will be used, how durable it needs to be, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Higher gloss usually shows more reflection and can make surface flaws more noticeable, while lower gloss reduces shine.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options. Use the available non-housepaint formats that fit your project, such as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint or other specialty formats.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1643 Franklin Lakes to a different color from another paint company?

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.
