A match of Valspar 95-23C Jack Black reads as a very dark charcoal with a cool cast and a faint blue undertone. Its low chroma keeps it muted rather than vivid, and the low LRV makes it sit close to black on most surfaces while still holding a slight color bias in stronger light.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Valspar color reference is well suited to small parts and fixtures where a dark, subdued finish is needed. It can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, handrail components, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, and other metal or plastic accessories after proper surface prep. It also works for frames, shelving supports, and furniture accents that are easier to coat evenly by spray than by brush.

Because this is a very dark color, surface condition and sheen can affect the final read more noticeably than with midtones. Sanding marks, dust, and texture may show through, and a lighter or uneven substrate can take more build to reach a consistent appearance. Finish, film thickness, and the underlying material can all shift how blue or neutral the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 95-23C Jack Black *

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 95-23C Jack Black do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats generally cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but actual coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or uneven surfaces.

Because 95-23C Jack Black is a very dark color, it can still take multiple coats to look even on lighter or absorbent substrates. If you want to avoid ordering too little, measure the project surface and plan for the number of coats you expect to use.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 95-23C Jack Black on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before painting. That is especially helpful on hard-to-stick plastics or on parts that will be handled often. If the plastic is unusual or critical to the project, a test panel is the safest way to confirm prep and adhesion.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 95-23C Jack Black?

Confirm the exact Valspar reference, 95-23C Jack Black, along with the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor makes its own custom-matched paint to that color reference, and custom-made matches are not returnable or refundable.
