A match of Dunn Edwards DEW337 Gardenia is a very light, low-chroma off-white with a warm cream base. The measured color values place it close to near-white, with just enough yellow-green undertone to keep it from reading as a crisp, clean white.

This match works well on spray-friendly parts where a soft off-white needs to carry through on small components: HVAC vents, switch covers, outlet plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, wire baskets, picture frames, mailbox details, PVC trim pieces, railings, and hardware. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can help keep removable parts, retrofits, and replacement pieces aligned with the same color reference.

Because Gardenia is very light, coverage can be more sensitive to the color beneath it, especially over dark, stained, or uneven substrates. Finish, surface texture, and film build can also shift how creamy or warm it appears. For more even results, surface prep matters, and additional coats may be needed for uniform hide on high-contrast parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEW337 Gardenia *

How should I prep a surface before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to DEW337 Gardenia by Dunn Edwards?

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dust, oils, wax, and any loose material, then use light scuffing where it is appropriate for the substrate. Mask off areas that should not be painted.

Because DEW337 Gardenia is a MyPerfectColor match to the Dunn Edwards color reference, test the paint on the actual surface before full application. Surface condition, texture, and prior coatings can change how the matched color looks after it is sprayed or brushed.

What should I confirm before ordering DEW337 Gardenia custom paint from MyPerfectColor?

Confirm the exact color reference, including DEW337 Gardenia and the Dunn Edwards brand, plus the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity you need. This helps make sure you order the right match for your project.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint based on the selected brand color reference. Because these are custom color orders, they should be chosen carefully before purchase since they are not returnable or refundable once made.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DEW337 Gardenia on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual item first. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DEW337 Gardenia can work well on many plastics, but adhesion depends on the specific material and how it was prepared.

Clean the surface, remove any release residue, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when needed, especially on low-energy plastics. A test spray is the safest way to confirm the result before coating the whole part.

Will DEW337 Gardenia from MyPerfectColor look the same in every finish?

No. Finish changes how light reflects off the coating, so the same DEW337 Gardenia color can appear different in gloss, satin, or matte forms. Texture and substrate also affect how the color is perceived after application.

When ordering a MyPerfectColor match of Dunn Edwards DEW337 Gardenia, choose the sheen that fits the project and test it on the actual item if appearance consistency matters. The finish is a practical coating choice, not just a visual preference.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to DEW337 Gardenia do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, application method, and how many coats are needed. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, depending on the surface and application.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or dark substrate, plan for more material because extra coats may be needed to reach even coverage with DEW337 Gardenia. It is usually better to order enough for the full project plus a small margin than to stop short mid-job.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Dunn Edwards DEW337 Gardenia?
