A match of Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue is a light-to-mid blue-green with a muted, gray-softened character. It reads cool overall, with enough green in the undertone to keep it from looking like a clean sky blue. The low chroma gives it a quiet, controlled appearance rather than a vivid one.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HC-138 Covington Blue can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, mailbox parts, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and small hardware where a subdued blue-green match is needed. It also suits painted baskets, frames, lamp parts, fixture covers, and other removable items that benefit from an even sprayed finish.

Because this color is restrained rather than highly saturated, it usually covers more predictably than brighter colors, but the final result still depends on the substrate, surface texture, and film build. Dark or uneven surfaces may show through more easily, so a primer or additional coats can help the color read evenly. Finish level can also shift the way the blue and green undertones appear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-138 Covington Blue *

How should I spray a match of Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue to avoid runs or uneven sheen?

Use light, even passes and keep the spray moving so the finish builds gradually. Heavy coats can make HC-138 Covington Blue look blotchy, dry unevenly, or develop runs, especially on edges, corners, and textured parts. For trim, hardware, grilles, or other small items, several thin coats usually give better control than one heavy coat.

Will a match of Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue look the same after it is applied as it does on the swatch?

Not always. Once HC-138 Covington Blue is applied, lighting, sheen, substrate, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color reads. A correct match can still look different on metal, plastic, wood, or a part that sits next to an older painted surface. If the item is highly visible, test on the actual surface or a sample piece before finishing the full project.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue?

Confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor custom matches are made to order, so HC-138 Covington Blue should be chosen carefully. If the color, format, or finish is wrong, the order may not be returnable or refundable.

Which finish should I choose for Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue on my project?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflection you want. Higher-gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and can be more durable, but they also reflect more light and can make HC-138 Covington Blue read differently than a flatter finish. Lower-gloss finishes reduce shine, but they may show marks differently and can change the way the color appears on the finished item. Pick the sheen that best fits the substrate and how much handling the part will get.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore color name alone. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and look for the exact product format you plan to order in HC-138 Covington Blue. If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for each one separately because the safety information can differ by product.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore HC-138 Covington Blue to a different color from another paint company?

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.
