A match of Color Guild 2861 W Light Dutch Blue is a very light blue with a cool lean and a soft gray cast. The low chroma keeps it from reading bright or icy, so it looks more muted than saturated, with a clean but restrained blue character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Color Guild color can be used on small parts where a pale blue finish needs to be repeated with a spray application. It can work on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, PVC pipe, brackets, mailboxes, shutter hardware, and other removable or detailed pieces that benefit from a quiet blue tone.

Because this is a very light color, coverage over dark or uneven substrates can show contrast longer and may take additional coats for an even result. Finish and surface texture also affect the way it reads: glossier surfaces tend to make the color look a little clearer, while matte surfaces can soften the blue and the gray cast.
