Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5580 Parakeet *

Confirm DE5580 Parakeet from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or another trusted original brand color reference before you order. Screen colors can vary by device, so a photo or monitor view is not a reliable approval method.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dunn Edwards color reference. It is not the original Dunn Edwards paint, so you want to verify the exact target color first if the item must coordinate with an existing finish.

Before ordering DE5580 Parakeet, confirm the color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-matched orders are made to your selected color target, so changing any of those details after ordering can affect the result you receive.

Because MyPerfectColor is supplying a custom match of DE5580 Parakeet, it is important to review the order carefully up front. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so this is the best time to make sure the match and product type are correct.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheens usually hide surface flaws better and reduce glare, while higher sheens are easier to wipe clean and can feel more durable in active-use areas.

Keep in mind that the sheen also changes how DE5580 Parakeet looks after it is applied. A match of DE5580 Parakeet in a glossier finish can read brighter than the same color in a flatter finish, especially on small parts or uneven substrates.

A match of Dunn Edwards DE5580 Parakeet can look different after application depending on lighting, placement, surface texture, and nearby colors or materials. Even when the color match is correct, gloss level and substrate can change how the finished item reads.

If you are coating a part that sits next to an existing painted surface, expect small appearance differences from age, sheen, or texture to matter more. MyPerfectColor can match the selected Dunn Edwards color reference, but the finished look still depends on where and how the coating is applied.

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, porosity, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but actual coverage can vary.

If you are painting trim pieces, vents, hardware, PVC pipe, or other small parts in DE5580 Parakeet, plan for the number of pieces and the finish you want before ordering. For rough, dark, or uneven surfaces, you may need extra material to get full and even coverage.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE5580 Parakeet enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards DE5580 Parakeet 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.
