A match of Valspar 251-4 Hurricane is a muted blue-green with a cool undertone and a gray-softened character. It reads as a medium-deep color rather than a bright teal, with enough depth to feel settled without moving into a very dark range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, shutter hardware, PVC trim pieces, and other small objects where a coordinated blue-green finish is needed. It also suits metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated accessories that can be removed and sprayed for an even result.

At an LRV of 27.5, this color is not especially light, so it is generally less likely to show strong substrate contrast than a pale paint. Even so, finish, texture, and film build can change how blue or green it appears. A smooth, consistent application helps keep the color reading clean and controlled, while uneven surfaces can make it look darker and more subdued.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 251-4 Hurricane *

Can I order Valspar 251-4 Hurricane as custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, knobs, or other small parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Valspar 251-4 Hurricane in custom spray paint for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

Spray paint is often the practical choice when you want a smooth, even finish on removable or detailed parts. For best results, prep the surface well and use the right primer for the material you are coating.

Will Valspar 251-4 Hurricane look the same in matte, satin, and gloss finishes?

No. The color match can be the same, but the finish changes how Valspar 251-4 Hurricane reflects light and how deep or flat it reads after application.

If you need the finished part to relate closely to an existing painted item, choose a sheen that is as close as possible to the surrounding surface. If you are starting from scratch, pick the finish based on the look and handling needs of the part, then order the match in that sheen.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 251-4 Hurricane on plastic parts?

Often yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics need extra prep or the right primer to help adhesion.

For difficult or low energy plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel to improve bonding. If the part matters, do a small test on a hidden area before painting the full item.

Where do I find the SDS for Valspar 251-4 Hurricane from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Valspar color name by itself. To get the right safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the product you plan to order.

Check the Safety Data Sheets page before purchase if you need handling, storage, or safety details for the exact coating format.

Which sheen should I choose when ordering Valspar 251-4 Hurricane as a MyPerfectColor match?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much surface reflection you want. Lower sheens usually hide texture and surface variation better, while higher sheens reflect more light and are often easier to wipe clean.

Keep in mind that the same match of Valspar 251-4 Hurricane can look different across finishes. If you are matching an existing part, try to match both the color and the sheen as closely as possible.

How do I convert Valspar 251-4 Hurricane to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Valspar 251-4 Hurricane 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.
