Match of Dunn Edwards™ 86 Taupe *

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe can look different once it is on the item. A flatter finish usually reads less reflective, while a glossier finish can make the color look brighter and more pronounced.

That is why the color reference and the finish need to be chosen together when ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe. The code identifies the color target, but the finish affects the final appearance on the painted surface.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. The same match of Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe will appear more matte or more glossy depending on the product finish you select.

If durability, cleanup, or a smoother-looking surface matters for your project, that should guide the sheen choice more than the color code alone. MyPerfectColor can supply Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe in a finish that fits the application instead of treating sheen as only a visual preference.

Confirm Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe from a physical swatch, an existing painted item with a known reference, or another trusted brand color reference before ordering. Screen viewing alone can be misleading, especially if you need a precise match.

MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe color reference. The code tells you the target color, but it does not confirm sheen, substrate, or whether an older painted surface has changed over time.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats your project needs. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For a match of Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe, plan extra material if the surface is rough, uneven, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. It is safer to estimate after you know the substrate and the total area to be coated.

Custom color orders should be chosen carefully, because MyPerfectColor matches of Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe are custom made and are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity.

If you are unsure, verify the target color first and then select the MyPerfectColor format that fits your project. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match of Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards 86 Taupe 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.
