Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris reads as a muted, medium-deep plum-rose with a cool violet lean. It has restrained chroma rather than a bright, saturated look, and the low LRV gives it a noticeably deep appearance without pushing into near-black.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, display parts, and furniture hardware when a reddish-purple tone needs to carry onto a smaller surface. It also fits PVC trim pieces, access panels, and removable fixtures where spray application is easier than brushing and a consistent match matters.

Because this is a deeper color, surface prep and uniform film build matter. Darker or uneven substrates can show through more easily, and gloss or satin finishes can make texture, seams, and prior repairs more noticeable. Multiple light coats may be needed for even coverage over contrasting surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris *

How do I confirm DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris is the right Dunn Edwards color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another reliable color reference from the original Dunn Edwards color standard. Screen images can shift by device and lighting, so they are not the best basis for ordering a custom match.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris in its own paint, so the key decision is whether the reference color you chose is the one you want reproduced.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so a test on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project. For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel and follow the prep steps for the specific substrate.

This matters for items such as PVC pipe, vents, covers, trim pieces, and other plastic parts that need a match of DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris.

What finish should I choose for DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The finish affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how the matched color reads on the finished item. A glossier finish will reflect more light and can make DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris appear different than the same color in a flatter finish.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how closely you want the applied coating to follow the selected color reference.

Why can DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris look different after MyPerfectColor paint is applied?

Even when the color match is correct, lighting, sheen, substrate texture, and nearby surfaces can change how DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris looks once it is on the item. A smooth metal cover, for example, can read differently than the same match on textured plastic.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the match on that actual material and view it in the conditions where it will be used before ordering a larger quantity.

What should I verify before ordering DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the finish, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are made to the selected reference and are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the exact DE 739 U2 Midnight Iris target first.

If you are matching an existing part, compare against a physical swatch or known color standard instead of relying on a screen image alone.
