Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1331 Ionian *

If the product format you choose offers more than one sheen, the finish is a practical ordering choice, not just a visual one. A glossier finish reflects more light, which can make 1331 Ionian read a little differently than the same color in a flatter finish.

Choose the sheen based on durability, cleanup, and where the item will be used. If you are matching an existing piece, remember that the same color can look different once the sheen changes.

Lighting, surface texture, sheen, and nearby colors all affect how 1331 Ionian reads on the finished item. This color has an LRV of 13.39, so it is on the darker side and can look different in bright light, low light, or shadowed locations.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test on the actual item or material before coating the full piece. That is the best way to judge how 1331 Ionian will appear in the final location.

Yes, 1331 Ionian can be ordered for plastic projects, but plastic types vary a lot, so prep matters. Clean the surface well, make sure it is fully dry, and test on the actual plastic before painting the whole part.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. That is especially useful for plastics that are smooth, flexible, or otherwise hard to coat reliably.

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, the texture, the application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon, but your actual usage can be higher if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or needs extra coats. Measure the project area and allow for some extra paint so you do not run short.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 1331 Ionian color name by itself. Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another paint type.

If you need compliance documentation before painting, confirm the SDS for that exact MyPerfectColor product before use.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 1331 Ionian in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Pratt and Lambert 1331 Ionian which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 1331 Ionian, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
