A match of Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure is a cool blue-green with an aqua leaning, sitting between teal and light cyan rather than reading as a grayish green. It has enough chroma to look clean and noticeable, but it is not so bright that it turns neon or overly saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color reference can be used on small, spray-friendly parts that need a clear blue-green finish, such as vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, railings, brackets, frames, and hardware. It also works for PVC trim pieces, fixture parts, display components, and painted accessories where a repeatable color match matters more than painting a large wall surface.

Because this is a moderately vivid blue-green, coverage over dark, uneven, or already colored substrates may take extra coats for a uniform result. Smooth, glossy parts can also show surface texture, sanding marks, and sheen differences more clearly, so prep and finish selection will affect how cleanly the color reads. On exterior parts, strong chroma can be more sensitive to fading and wear than quieter neutral colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure *

Which finish should I choose for Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure in MyPerfectColor paint for a project like vents, grilles, or trim pieces?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can be more durable on parts that get handled, while a flatter finish can reduce reflectivity. The same Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure color can look different as sheen changes, so the finish is part of the color result, not just a surface preference.

If you are coating a mailbox, switch cover, vent, bracket, or other removable part, order MyPerfectColor paint matched to Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure in the finish that best fits that object and the surrounding surface.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure color name by itself. Use the Safety Data Sheets page for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

What should I confirm before ordering Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure as a MyPerfectColor custom match?

Before ordering, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the finish, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid ordering a match of Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure in the wrong format for your project.

Custom-made color matches are made to order and should be selected carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. This matters most when you are matching a removable part, a fixture, or several pieces that need to stay consistent across the same project.

How should I prep a surface before using Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure custom spray paint?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease or residue, and letting it dry fully. If the material is smooth and the project allows it, light scuffing can help the coating grip better. Mask off any areas you do not want painted, and test on the actual surface before coating the full item.

This is especially useful for PVC pipe, vents, speaker grilles, hardware, or previously coated parts, because prep affects adhesion and also changes how the Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure match will read on the finished piece.

How much Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and application.

For Behr 500B-5 Mermaid Treasure, plan extra material if the substrate is textured, if you are coating a dark or uneven surface, or if the part needs more than one coat for uniform coverage. That helps avoid running short in the middle of a project.
