A match of Kelly Moore AC256-5 Dark Glasses is a very dark brown-gray with a muted, low-chroma look and a subtle warm cast. In MyPerfectColor custom paint, it reads closer to a softened charcoal-brown than a clean black, with low reflectance and a restrained character.
This shade works well on spray-painted parts where a dark, subdued finish helps a component sit quietly against an existing painted surface. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, shelf supports, cabinet pulls, and small furniture accents, especially when the goal is to coordinate removable or hard-to-brush parts with a known Kelly Moore color reference.
Because the color is so dark, substrate prep and film build matter. Dark colors can show sanding marks, texture, or sheen differences more clearly when a gloss or satin finish is used, and light or uneven bases may need additional coats for full color development. Finish choice and surface material can shift how brown or gray the color appears.

Yes. If your project is a basket, frame, shelf, furniture accent, or similar small item, MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of AC256-5 Dark Glasses for that kind of application.
This is a MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Kelly Moore color reference, not the original Kelly Moore paint product. For the cleanest result, make sure the part is properly cleaned and prepared before spraying.
Before you order AC256-5 Dark Glasses, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Those details matter because a custom-made color match is mixed to order.
Custom color orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth double-checking that you are selecting a match of AC256-5 Dark Glasses in the right format for your project.
Use light, even coats and keep your passes moving so the surface builds color gradually instead of getting wet in one spot. Slight overlap between passes helps reduce striping and uneven coverage.
Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially with a darker color like AC256-5 Dark Glasses. Let each coat flash off and follow the dry-time guidance for the product you ordered.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the AC256-5 Dark Glasses color name alone. If you order a different product type, check the SDS for that specific product.

Plastics vary a lot, so it is important to test AC256-5 Dark Glasses on the actual material before coating the full part. Surface prep can make a big difference in how well the coating bonds and how the color reads after drying.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on challenging substrates. If you need the primer, use the primer made for acrylic enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/
MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Kelly Moore AC256-5 Dark Glasses enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen.

While we can provide Kelly Moore AC256-5 Dark Glasses in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.
However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
