Match of Dulux™ Ancient Copper *

Even when the color match is correct, Dulux Ancient Copper 53127 can read differently after application depending on lighting, placement, sheen, and the surfaces around it. Direct sun, indoor light, shadows, texture, and nearby colors can all change how the finished item appears.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, plan for those viewing conditions before you order the final product. MyPerfectColor is matching the selected Dulux Ancient Copper reference, but the installed item can still look different from a swatch once it is on the actual substrate.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the color name alone. To review the Safety Data Sheet for the matched product, use the MyPerfectColor SDS page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering Dulux Ancient Copper 53127 in a different format, make sure you review the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product, since the safety information can vary by product type.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface prep matters and some plastics need primer to improve adhesion.

For difficult or slick plastic surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the matched color. You can review that primer here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/ .

Choose the sheen based on how you want the finished item to perform and how closely it needs to coordinate with nearby surfaces. Lower sheens usually reduce reflectivity and can hide minor surface issues better, while higher sheens are easier to wipe clean and will show more light reflection.

Sheen also changes how Dulux Ancient Copper 53127 reads on the final item. If you are matching an existing painted part, try to choose a sheen that is similar to the surrounding finish so the color and gloss level work together.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux Ancient Copper 53127 is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are awkward to brush. It is also a practical choice for small or removable items that need to coordinate with a known color reference.

This format is often used when you want a repeatable match on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts after proper preparation. If the project has small edges, curves, or tight spaces, spray application can make it easier to coat the part evenly than using a brush.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Ancient Copper 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Dulux Ancient Copper which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Ancient Copper, 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.
