A match of Benjamin Moore HC-68 Middlebury Brown is a deep, muted brown with a warm cast and low chroma. It reads earthy rather than bright, with enough depth to stay close to a dark neutral while still holding a clear brown undertone.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HC-68 Middlebury Brown can be used on railings, brackets, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shelving supports, picture frames, hardware, shutters, and PVC or other trim pieces that need a quiet brown finish. It is also useful for makers and maintenance teams coating small metal, plastic, wood, or previously painted components where a consistent brown match matters more than a decorative effect.

Because this color is relatively dark, surface condition and sheen can influence the final read: gloss levels may deepen it, while flatter finishes can make it appear softer and more matte. This is not a high-chroma color, so it is less likely to need extra coats for color strength than a vivid accent color, but even coverage still matters to avoid patchiness. On uneven or repaired substrates, primer color, texture, and film build can affect how uniformly the brown appears, especially on small parts and exterior pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-68 Middlebury Brown *

How should I confirm HC-68 Middlebury Brown before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm HC-68 Middlebury Brown from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable brand color reference rather than from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor makes its own custom-matched paint to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference, so the order is only as accurate as the reference you verify first.

If you are matching to an existing item, check whether the target is the original color standard or an aged surface. Sheen, texture, and wear can make the finished result read differently even when the color match is correct.

Where can I find the SDS for HC-68 Middlebury Brown?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the HC-68 Middlebury Brown color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are choosing between formats, check the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product chemistry you plan to use.

Can HC-68 Middlebury Brown be applied to metal or over an existing coating?

Yes, HC-68 Middlebury Brown can be used on metal and on some previously coated surfaces if the surface is prepared correctly. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination first. If the surface is glossy or smooth, scuff it so the new coating has something to grip.

Check for rust, loose paint, peeling edges, or other failure in the old coating before painting. The condition of the existing surface, along with its gloss and texture, can change how the finished HC-68 Middlebury Brown will look.

What spray application tips help with HC-68 Middlebury Brown?

For HC-68 Middlebury Brown, use light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep your strokes consistent, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid flooding the surface, since heavy coats can create runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

On a test piece or hidden area, confirm that the coating is laying down evenly before you finish the full part. This is especially useful on metal, plastic, or previously coated items where the surface can affect how the color reads.

How much HC-68 Middlebury Brown should I order for my project?

Order based on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough surfaces, darker substrates, or extra coats can reduce that coverage.

If you are using a larger MyPerfectColor paint format, coverage is usually much higher, but it still depends on the item and application method. When in doubt, buy enough for the full job plus a little extra for touch-up or a second pass if needed.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore HC-68 Middlebury Brown to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore HC-68 Middlebury Brown 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.
