A match of Benjamin Moore 516 Ivy League is a muted, medium-depth earthy color with olive-khaki character. It leans warm rather than cool, with yellow-brown undertones and a restrained chroma that keeps it subdued instead of bright. With an LRV of 25.25, it reads as a fairly dark color without approaching black.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving supports, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, baskets, and framed accessories. It also suits PVC, metal, wood, and previously coated parts when proper surface preparation allows spray application to lay down evenly on a small or detailed object.
Because this color is muted rather than highly saturated, it usually does not present the same hiding demands as vivid colors, but the darker value can still reveal contrast over a light or uneven substrate. Finish, surface texture, and film build can shift how olive or brown the color appears, and glossy surfaces may make edges and imperfections more noticeable. Careful prep and even coats help the color read consistently on small parts and fixtures.

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom match of 516 Ivy League in spray paint for small parts and removable items such as switch covers, vents, knobs, brackets, speaker grilles, and similar pieces where a smooth spray finish is useful.
For Benjamin Moore colors, this collection is for MyPerfectColor matched products rather than the brand's own interior or exterior house paint lines. If the part needs a different format, MyPerfectColor also offers other specialty options for color-matching projects.
Finish changes how much light the coated item reflects, so the same match of 516 Ivy League can look different in a flatter or glossier coating. A lower sheen usually reduces shine and can make surface texture less noticeable, while a higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color read differently on the finished part.
If you are matching an existing coated item, keep the finish in mind because sheen is part of the final appearance, not just the color formula.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 516 Ivy League color name alone. To find it, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product you are ordering.
For this color's SDS page, MyPerfectColor lists: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you order a different format, check the SDS for that exact product.
Choose the sheen based on the item's use and the look you need on the finished surface. Lower sheen is usually better if you want less reflectivity and a bit more forgiveness on texture, while higher sheen is easier to wipe clean and will show more shine.
Because sheen changes the way 516 Ivy League appears, make sure the finish you order matches the project requirements. Do not treat sheen as a separate afterthought when ordering a color match.
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, shape, application method, and how many coats are needed. Rough, irregular, or darker surfaces often need more material.
For 516 Ivy League, plan extra paint if you are coating multiple parts, need more than one coat, or want enough on hand for test spraying and final application. If the project is larger than a small fixture or accessory, estimate by total surface area rather than by the number of pieces alone.
