A match of Valspar 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris reads as a deep, cool blue-violet with a muted character and low light reflectance. With an LRV of 5.41, it sits in a very dark range and has enough blue in the undertone to feel cooler than a typical navy or plum.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, frames, hardware, mailboxes, shutters, and other small parts where a dark blue-violet finish is needed. It also fits removable accents, display components, and accessories made from metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a dark color, surface condition and finish choice can affect how it reads. Scratches, texture, and sheen variation may be more noticeable, and film build can change the apparent depth of the color. On lighter or uneven substrates, even coverage may take additional coats for a consistent result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris *

Can I order 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for baskets, frames, or hardware?

Yes. A match of Valspar 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Valspar color reference. That format is practical for small parts such as baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, hardware, and other removable items where spray application is easier than brushing.

For the best result, make sure the item can be cleaned and prepared properly before you spray it, and expect the final look to depend on the substrate, texture, and number of coats.

How do I confirm the right 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris color before I order a match?

Confirm 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable brand color reference before ordering. Screen views can vary by device and lighting, so they are not the best way to verify the target color.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, but the code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an aged surface will look. If the target is an existing painted item, verify the reference carefully before placing the order.

Where can I find the SDS for 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product, not the Valspar color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: Safety Data Sheets.

If you are ordering 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris in a different product format, check the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product chemistry before use.

How much 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris spray paint should I plan for?

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but the actual amount needed for 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris depends on the object's size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

If you are coating a dark or uneven surface, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the finish looks uniform. For larger projects, MyPerfectColor also offers other paint formats that typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

What surface prep should I do before applying 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris spray paint?

Before applying 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris spray paint, clean the surface, remove grease and residue, and use light scuffing where appropriate so the coating can bond better. Mask off areas that should not be painted.

It is also smart to test the match on the actual surface first, especially on plastic, metal, or a previously coated item, because the substrate and prep can affect both adhesion and how the color reads after it dries.

How do I convert Valspar 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Valspar 4009-5 Filoli Dark Iris 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.
