Match of Behr™ PMD-51 Cardamom *

Confirm PMD-51 Cardamom from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you order.

If you already have an existing painted part or sample that is known to be PMD-51 Cardamom, use that as the reference instead of guessing from photos or memory.

Plan quantity based on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you expect to need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary with the surface and application.

If you are coating a rough, dark, or uneven item in PMD-51 Cardamom, allow extra paint for additional coats and overlap. If the project is a small part, fixture, or accessory, start with the smallest practical quantity for the format you are ordering.

Clean the surface first, then remove dirt, oil, wax, or other contamination. On metal, scuffing helps the new coating grip better, and any rust should be addressed before painting. If you are painting over an existing coating, check that the old finish is sound and not peeling or lifting.

With PMD-51 Cardamom, the condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can affect how the finished color looks. A test application is a practical way to reduce risk before coating the full part.

It can look different once it is on the item because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces all affect how PMD-51 Cardamom reads. A color match that is correct to the reference can still appear lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler depending on the setting.

If the finished part will sit beside an existing painted surface, view the match in the actual lighting where it will be used. That is the best way to judge how the matched coating will appear on the final object.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully before you buy because they are not returnable or refundable. For PMD-51 Cardamom, confirm the color reference, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before placing the order.

If you are unsure about the exact target, verify it against a physical swatch or another known reference first. That reduces the chance of ordering the wrong match.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Behr PMD-51 Cardamom 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.

While we can provide Behr PMD-51 Cardamom 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.
