A match of Dutch Boy 8-G-1 Simply Lime is a very light, low-chroma yellow-green with a soft, slightly cool cast. It reads closer to a pale lime tint than a bright citrus green, with enough gray softness to keep it from looking sharp or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small, spray-friendly parts where a pale green tone is needed on the item itself, such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, frames, shelving brackets, railings, mailbox details, shutters, PVC trim pieces, hardware, and furniture accents. Its light, quiet character also makes it a practical choice for accessories and fixtures that need a softer yellow-green finish without a heavy color presence.

Because this is a very light color, coverage can be more sensitive to the base underneath it. Darker or uneven substrates may show through more easily, so surface prep and enough film build matter. The final look can also shift with sheen, substrate texture, and spray application, so a smooth, even coat will read cleaner than a thin or patchy one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ 8-G-1 Simply Lime *

How do I confirm that 8-G-1 Simply Lime by Dutch Boy is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 8-G-1 Simply Lime from a physical swatch, painted sample, or another known original brand reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not the safest way to approve the target color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dutch Boy color reference. That means the key decision is whether 8-G-1 Simply Lime is the color you want to reproduce, not whether the MyPerfectColor product is the original Dutch Boy paint line.

Will the finish change how 8-G-1 Simply Lime looks in MyPerfectColor paint?

Yes. Finish and sheen can change how 8-G-1 Simply Lime reads after it is applied because they change reflectivity and surface appearance. The same color can look flatter in a lower sheen and more reflective in a higher sheen.

If you are matching a part or fixture, choose the finish based on the look and performance you need on that item. The color reference stays 8-G-1 Simply Lime, but the coating finish can still affect the final appearance.

Can I use 8-G-1 Simply Lime custom spray paint on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastic varies a lot, so testing on the actual part is important before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to work on many plastics, but prep and adhesion can still differ by substrate.

If adhesion is a concern, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before spraying 8-G-1 Simply Lime on the plastic. That extra step can help improve bond and reduce the risk of poor adhesion on difficult surfaces.

Which finish should I choose for 8-G-1 Simply Lime when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce glare, while higher sheen finishes are more reflective and can be easier to wipe clean.

The finish also changes how 8-G-1 Simply Lime appears on the finished surface, so the best choice is the one that fits the part, the substrate, and the cleanup or durability needs of the project.

Can I order 8-G-1 Simply Lime in custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. A match of Dutch Boy 8-G-1 Simply Lime can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

Spray paint is often the practical choice for removable or detailed parts because it can give a smoother finish than brushing. Just make sure the surface is cleaned and prepped correctly before applying the match of 8-G-1 Simply Lime.
