Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEW393 Violet Clues *

For DEW393 Violet Clues, the safest way to confirm the target is a physical Dunn Edwards swatch, a labeled existing sample, or another known original color reference. Screen viewing alone can shift the color, especially under different lighting. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the reference you want matched, not on how the color appears on a monitor.

If you are matching an existing part or painted surface, decide whether you want the original DEW393 Violet Clues standard or the look of the aged surface. Those are not always the same.

Finish changes how DEW393 Violet Clues reflects light, so the same color can look different after it is applied. A glossier finish usually looks more reflective and can make the color read differently than a flatter finish. A lower-sheen finish reduces reflectivity and can make the color appear less shiny on the finished item.

When you order a match of DEW393 Violet Clues, treat sheen as a practical coating choice, not just a visual preference. The substrate, spray application, and film build can also change how the color reads.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the DEW393 Violet Clues color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you are buying, since the safety information follows the product, not the brand color reference.

Choose the finish for DEW393 Violet Clues based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Higher sheen finishes usually show more light reflection and may be easier to wipe clean, while lower sheen finishes reduce reflection and can make the color look less glossy.

If the item will sit near another painted surface, remember that sheen can change the perceived color even when the formula matches the same DEW393 Violet Clues reference. For best ordering results, pick the finish that fits the object and the way it will be viewed.
