Match of Dulux™ Orange Cantaloupe *

Finish is a coating variable, not part of the Orange Cantaloupe Dulux color reference itself. A higher gloss finish reflects more light and can make the matched color read a little brighter or more saturated, while a lower sheen reduces reflectivity and can make the same color look softer.

If you are coating an existing part, try to match the finish of that surface as closely as possible because sheen differences can change the way Orange Cantaloupe looks even when the color formula is correct.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual plastic is important before you commit to the full part. Clean the surface well, prep it as needed, and consider a test spray on a hidden area to check adhesion and appearance.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy plastics. Orange Cantaloupe Dulux is the color reference; the final result still depends on the specific plastic and prep.

Use light, even coats instead of trying to cover the part in one heavy pass. Hold the can at a consistent distance recommended on the product label, move at a steady speed, and overlap each pass slightly so the film builds evenly.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy color build. With a color like Orange Cantaloupe Dulux, controlled light coats usually give a cleaner match and a more uniform finish on the final item.

The Orange Cantaloupe Dulux code tells you the color target, but it does not define sheen. Choose the finish based on the item you are coating, how much cleaning it needs, and how closely you want the new coating to resemble the existing surface.

Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and reflect more light, while lower sheen finishes reduce shine and can hide surface irregularities better. If you are matching an already painted part, the closest sheen match is usually the safer ordering choice.

Before you order, confirm the exact color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, the quantity, and the substrate you plan to paint. Orange Cantaloupe Dulux is the color target, and MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to that reference.

Custom-made color matches should be ordered carefully because they are made to your selected specifications and are generally not returnable or refundable. If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, a test application is the safest way to reduce match risk before ordering more than you need.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Orange Cantaloupe in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Orange Cantaloupe, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
