A match of Kelly Moore AC214-5 Leaf Rust is a warm, medium-deep rust color with a noticeable red-brown undertone. It reads earthy rather than bright, with moderate chroma and low light reflectance, so the color sits on the deeper side without becoming near-black or overly muted.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on railings, brackets, vent covers, shutters, mailbox parts, speaker grilles, shelf supports, and other small metal or plastic components where a warm rust tone is needed. It also fits hardware, trim pieces, and furniture accents that are practical to spray and need a coordinated finish across separate parts.
Because this is a deeper color, surface prep and finish selection matter. On smooth substrates, sheen differences and texture can change how the red-brown undertone reads. Over lighter or uneven bases, you may need additional coats for consistent coverage and to bring the color up to full depth.
For exterior parts, the low-reflectance character can help the color read solidly, but wear, sun exposure, and substrate choice can still affect the final look. Test application on the actual material is useful when the part will sit near other painted components or when finish consistency is important.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ AC214-5 Leaf Rust *
Can I use AC214-5 Leaf Rust in MyPerfectColor spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?
Yes. A match of Kelly Moore AC214-5 Leaf Rust can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces. Spray paint is a practical choice when you want a smooth, even finish on removable items or detailed parts.
For the best result, clean the part well and use the right prep for the substrate. If the item is being finished to match other pieces in this color, make sure you are ordering a match of AC214-5 Leaf Rust in the format that fits the project.
How should I confirm AC214-5 Leaf Rust before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm AC214-5 Leaf Rust from a physical swatch, an original Kelly Moore reference, or a known existing painted sample rather than relying on a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color needs to be identified correctly before you place the order.
If you are working from an existing surface, remember that age, sheen, and lighting can affect how it looks. The safest ordering step is to verify that AC214-5 Leaf Rust is the color standard you want MyPerfectColor to match.
Where do I find the SDS for AC214-5 Leaf Rust MyPerfectColor paint?
Safety Data Sheets for MyPerfectColor paint are tied to the product chemistry, not the color name alone. For AC214-5 Leaf Rust, you can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
If you need the SDS for a specific product format, make sure you are reviewing the sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor paint you plan to order.
Can AC214-5 Leaf Rust be used on plastics or other difficult surfaces?
A match of Kelly Moore AC214-5 Leaf Rust can be used on many plastic items as MyPerfectColor spray paint, but plastics vary a lot and some surfaces need more prep than others. Testing on the actual part is important before coating the finished item.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. If you are painting a plastic piece in AC214-5 Leaf Rust, clean it first and confirm the primer and prep steps before doing the full part. Primer information is available here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/
Will AC214-5 Leaf Rust look the same in matte or gloss MyPerfectColor paint?
No. The same AC214-5 Leaf Rust color can read differently depending on finish because matte and gloss reflect light in different ways. The color match is still AC214-5 Leaf Rust, but the finished appearance can look deeper, flatter, or brighter based on sheen.
When ordering, choose the finish that best matches the surface you are trying to coordinate. If the target item is already painted, the existing sheen is part of what you need to consider, not just the color code.
