A match of Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy is a warm, medium-light orange with a coral-apricot cast. It has strong red and yellow influence, so it reads vivid rather than muted, with enough depth to avoid looking flat.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to GH170 California Poppy is useful on small, spray-friendly parts where a warm orange accent is needed, such as frames, brackets, hardware, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelving supports, mailboxes, shutters, and trim pieces. It also works on coated metal, plastic, wood, and similar accessories after proper preparation.

Because the color is fairly chromatic, coverage may take more than one coat on dark, uneven, or porous substrates. Finish and film build can change how intense it looks, and gloss levels can make surface flaws and sheen differences easier to see. For exterior projects, prolonged sun exposure can be harder on vivid oranges than on quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ralph Lauren™ GH170 California Poppy *

Where can I find the SDS for Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy paint matched by MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy color name alone. Check MyPerfectColor's Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product you plan to order, since spray paint and other formats can have different handling information.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy should I order?

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. For GH170 California Poppy, actual coverage will vary based on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats needed. If you are using a different MyPerfectColor paint format, coverage is usually higher, often in the 400 to 600 square feet range depending on the product and application.

What should I check before ordering a custom match of Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy from MyPerfectColor?

Confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you order.

How do I confirm that Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy is the right color reference for a MyPerfectColor order?

Use a physical swatch from the original brand or another known existing color reference whenever possible.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so verifying the target reference before ordering reduces the risk of selecting the wrong color.

How do I convert Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy to a different company?

While we can provide Ralph Lauren GH170 California Poppy 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.
