A match of Kelly Moore V 28-2 Hortense Blue reads as a light-to-medium blue with a cool lean and a softened, slightly gray cast. It has enough color to register clearly as blue, but it is not especially vivid or electric, so the overall effect stays measured rather than bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be a practical choice for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, cabinet hardware, metal brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and other parts that need a coordinated blue finish on a small or awkward surface. It also works for makers and maintenance teams who need repeatable color on frames, fixtures, accessories, or replacement components.

Because the chroma is moderate rather than high, this color should generally cover more evenly than a vivid accent shade, but the final look still depends on surface prep, substrate, and film build. On rough or textured material, it can read a bit deeper and less crisp, while gloss levels can make the blue appear cleaner and show surface variation more readily.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so you can order a match of V 28-2 Hortense Blue for spray-applied parts and components without relying on the original brand product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ V 28-2 Hortense Blue *

Will V 28-2 Hortense Blue look the same in matte and gloss if I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Yes, but sheen can change how V 28-2 Hortense Blue reads after it is applied. A matte finish absorbs more light, while gloss reflects more light, so the same MyPerfectColor match can look deeper or brighter on the finished part.

Choose the finish based on the item you are coating and, if you are matching an existing surface, confirm the sheen before you order. The color target stays V 28-2 Hortense Blue, but the final appearance will still depend on the finish, substrate, and surface texture.

How do I confirm the right V 28-2 Hortense Blue reference before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm V 28-2 Hortense Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing paint sample from Kelly Moore, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

The color code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an old painted surface will look today. If you are coordinating a part or replacement piece, use the actual color reference you trust before ordering a match.

Can MyPerfectColor match V 28-2 Hortense Blue for plastic parts, and what prep should I use?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a match of V 28-2 Hortense Blue for many plastic parts, but plastic types vary and some need extra prep. Clean the surface first, and test on the actual material whenever possible before painting the full part.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is intended to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the part is a low-energy plastic or an unknown blend, a test area is the safest way to confirm the result.

What prep is needed before painting metal with V 28-2 Hortense Blue over an existing coating?

Before applying V 28-2 Hortense Blue over metal or an older coating, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination, then scuff smooth or glossy areas so the new coating can bond better. If there is rust, loose coating, or peeling, address that first because those conditions can affect adhesion and final appearance.

The condition of the old finish also matters. Gloss, texture, and uneven wear can make the same MyPerfectColor match look different after application, so test a small area if the part will sit next to an existing finish.

Where do I find the SDS for V 28-2 Hortense Blue in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the V 28-2 Hortense Blue color name alone. To get the right document, check the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to order.
