Match of Dulux™ Medium Grey *

Start with a sound surface. Clean off dust, oils, wax, and other contamination, remove any loose paint, and address rust before coating metal. If the existing finish is glossy or slick, scuff it so the new coating can bond better.

The current coating condition matters because gloss, texture, and damage can change how a match of Dulux Medium Grey 53074 looks after application. A color match does not hide rust, peeling, or surface flaws, so the substrate should be prepared first.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Medium Grey, 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.
