A match of Dutch Boy Demitasse 180/G is a muted medium-dark brown with warm red and cocoa undertones. It reads as earthy rather than bright, with low chroma and a restrained, slightly smoky depth.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on metal or plastic parts that need a subdued brown finish, such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, lamp parts, mailbox hardware, railings, brackets, frames, shelving supports, and small furniture accents. It also works for PVC trim pieces, conduit covers, and other exterior accessories where a warm brown is needed on a smaller sprayed part.
Because this is a low-chroma, mid-dark color, it tends to cover more steadily than vivid hues, but the final result still depends on substrate, sheen, and film build. Smooth or glossy surfaces can make texture and gloss differences more noticeable, and repainting a dark or patchy base may still require careful application for even coverage. Finish and surface preparation can also shift how warm or deep the color appears.

For spray application, dry-to-touch can happen within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for handling. Plan to recoat Demitasse 180/G after about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure. If you move or stack the part too soon, the finish can mark or stick. Dry time can also change with film thickness, temperature, and airflow.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not the Demitasse 180/G color name alone. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific item you are ordering: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you choose a different MyPerfectColor format or formula, confirm the SDS for that exact product before use.
Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Lower sheen usually looks less reflective and can be more forgiving on surface variation, while higher sheen is more reflective and can make Demitasse 180/G read differently after spraying. Because gloss changes the appearance of the match, select the finish that fits the actual substrate and use case before you place the order.
Start by cleaning off dust, dirt, oil, and wax, then degrease the surface if needed. Lightly scuff smooth surfaces when appropriate, mask off nearby areas, and test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual item before finishing the full project. Good prep is important on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated surfaces because contamination or poor adhesion can make Demitasse 180/G look uneven.
Estimate quantity from the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and number of coats. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet. If the surface is textured, porous, or likely to need extra coats, order more than the minimum estimate so you do not run short during the job.

While we can provide Dutch Boy Demitasse 180/G in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.
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.
