Match of Dulux™ Arcadian Blue *

Arcadian Blue 53150 is the same color reference, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Matte, satin, and gloss all reflect light differently, so the same matched color can look flatter or deeper depending on the sheen.

If you need Arcadian Blue 53150 to coordinate with an existing part, choose the finish that best fits the item you are coating and the surface it will sit beside. This matters on items like trim pieces, vent covers, hardware, and other painted parts where sheen is easy to notice.

Confirm Arcadian Blue 53150 from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or the original Dulux color reference before you order. A screen view alone is not a reliable way to verify the target color.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure Arcadian Blue 53150 is the exact reference you want. If the color will be used on a replacement part, compare it to the actual painted area or a physical sample before placing the order.

Coverage for Arcadian Blue 53150 depends on the size of the project, the texture of the surface, how much hiding power you need, the application method, and how many coats are required. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but exact coverage still depends on the surface and application.

For small parts such as PVC pipe, vents, shutters, brackets, or hardware, it is usually better to estimate the total area and plan for more than one coat if the surface is textured or the substrate is showing through.

Use light, even coats of Arcadian Blue 53150 and keep the spray can at a steady distance from the surface. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy wet coats, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build.

This approach is especially useful on real-world parts like vent covers, speaker grilles, access panels, mailboxes, railings, and brackets, where a smooth finish matters as much as the color match. Let each coat flash off before applying the next one so the finish can level properly.

Arcadian Blue 53150 can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics need different prep or a primer to get better adhesion.

If you are coating items like PVC pipe, switch covers, vents, or other plastic fixtures, use the MyPerfectColor primer when adhesion is a concern and test a small area first. That helps reduce the risk of peeling or poor bonding on harder-to-stick surfaces.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Arcadian Blue 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 Arcadian Blue 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 Arcadian Blue, 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.
