A match of Benjamin Moore 497 Shady Lane is a muted olive-brown with a soft yellow-green undertone. It reads fairly dark and earthy rather than clean or bright, with low chroma and an understated khaki cast that can shift a little greener or browner depending on the surface and finish.
As MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color, it can be used on practical parts such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, railings, brackets, mailbox hardware, shelving supports, picture frames, PVC trim pieces, and other small fixtures that need a subdued, grounded color. The lower-chroma look also suits removable components, exterior accessories, and maintenance parts where a consistent, low-key finish is the goal.
Because this color is relatively dark, the final read can change with film build, sheen, and substrate texture. On uneven or glossy surfaces, small imperfections and finish differences may show more clearly, and darker or patchy bases can affect how complete the match looks. Proper prep and even application help the color develop its muted olive-brown character more consistently.

Yes. 497 Shady Lane (Benjamin Moore 5445) is a practical match for spray-paint projects like baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, knobs, hardware, decor pieces, and other small parts that need to coordinate with a known color.
For these items, the main decisions are substrate prep, whether the surface needs primer, and whether the part is small enough for spray application to give even coverage. If the object is plastic, metal, wood, wicker, or previously coated, test and prep it before coating the full piece.
Yes. Finish changes how 497 Shady Lane (Benjamin Moore 5445) reads after it is applied because sheen changes reflectivity. The same color can look different on matte, satin, or glossier coatings, especially on textured or curved parts.
If you need the color to read consistently on a specific object, choose the finish with the substrate and installed surface in mind, then test on the actual material before committing to the full project.
