A match of Dunn Edwards DE5783 Nocturnal Sea is a deep blue-green with a cool bias and a slightly muted, gray-cast character. With a low LRV of 10, it reads as a dark color rather than a bright teal, and the moderate chroma keeps it restrained instead of vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts where a dark blue-green finish needs to stay consistent across different materials. It is a practical choice for HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, metal brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, shelving supports, frames, and painted PVC trim pieces, as well as fixtures and removable components that benefit from an even sprayed finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and finish choice can affect the result noticeably. Scratches, sanding marks, and patchy repairs may show more readily than they would in a lighter color, and gloss level can change how strongly the blue-green reads. Lower-sheen finishes usually soften the appearance, while glossier finishes can make surface variation and film build more visible. On porous or uneven substrates, additional coats may be needed for uniform coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5783 Nocturnal Sea *

How long does DE5783 Nocturnal Sea take to dry, recoat, and handle between spray coats?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE5783 Nocturnal Sea is typically dry to the touch within minutes, ready to recoat in 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.

If the part will be handled, stacked, or put back into service, wait for the full cure period rather than relying only on dry-to-touch time.

What should I confirm before ordering DE5783 Nocturnal Sea as a custom-made MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to DE5783 Nocturnal Sea, not selling the original Dunn Edwards paint product.

Custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify those details before checkout.

Will the finish change how DE5783 Nocturnal Sea looks after it is sprayed?

Yes. The color reference stays DE5783 Nocturnal Sea, but the finish changes how much light the coating reflects and how the color is perceived on the finished item.

A glossier finish can read more reflective, while a flatter finish will look less reflective. Because sheen affects appearance, choose the finish carefully when ordering a MyPerfectColor match.

What surface prep is needed before applying DE5783 Nocturnal Sea to metal, plastic, or a painted item?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination, then degrease it before painting. Light scuffing may help where appropriate, especially on smooth or previously coated surfaces.

Mask off adjacent areas and test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual surface before coating the full item. Proper prep can affect both adhesion and how DE5783 Nocturnal Sea reads after application.

Where can I find the SDS for DE5783 Nocturnal Sea in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to DE5783 Nocturnal Sea as a color name alone. You can review the Safety Data Sheets here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.
