MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE5851 Blueberry Muffin is a medium-depth blue with a cool teal cast and a muted, slightly gray character. It sits in the darker half of the mid-tone range, so it reads clearly as blue without looking bright or overly saturated.

This color can work on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailbox parts, metal frames, and access covers where a consistent sprayed finish is needed on small parts. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, fixture housings, hardware, and maker projects that need a repeatable blue across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because the color has moderate depth and relatively low chroma, it usually reads evenly, but surface texture and sheen can change how blue versus teal it appears. On rough or uneven substrates, the lower LRV can make prep marks and coating edges more noticeable, so finish and film build matter. The same color can also appear a little deeper or softer depending on the spray system and final sheen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5851 Blueberry Muffin *

Can I return a MyPerfectColor match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin from Dunn Edwards if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because MyPerfectColor makes the paint to the selected brand color reference, and those custom color matches are not returnable or refundable. Before you order a match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin, confirm the Dunn Edwards color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. If you are matching parts, fixtures, or a removable item, it is worth double-checking the target color and finish first so the order is set up correctly.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE5851 Blueberry Muffin do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the application method, and how many coats it takes to get an even result. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces. If you are coating a project in a match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin, plan extra paint when the surface is textured, uneven, or likely to need more than one coat.

What is the best way to spray a match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin from Dunn Edwards for a smoother finish?

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the color builds gradually. Slight overlap between passes helps reduce striping, and avoiding heavy passes helps prevent runs, uneven sheen, and muddy color build. For a match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin, slower buildup is usually safer than trying to cover everything in one wet coat. If the item is a vent, bracket, pipe, or other small part, multiple light coats usually give more control than one heavy pass.

Which sheen should I choose for DE5851 Blueberry Muffin if I want the matched color to look right on my part or fixture?

The sheen you choose affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and the way the matched color reads on the finished item. A higher-gloss finish will usually show more shine and can make surface flaws more noticeable, while a lower sheen will look less reflective. If you are ordering a match of DE5851 Blueberry Muffin, choose the sheen based on the application and how much wear the item will see, not just on color alone. The same color can look different across sheen levels, so match the finish to the job as well as the color reference.

How do I confirm the right Dunn Edwards DE5851 Blueberry Muffin reference before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm the color from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the important step is verifying that DE5851 Blueberry Muffin is the exact Dunn Edwards reference you want before placing the order. This is especially important if you are ordering a custom spray paint match for a part that needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface or a project-standard color.
