A match of Dunn Edwards DE5855 Wild Blue Yonder is a light, muted blue with a cool cast and a slight green undertone. It reads airy rather than vivid, with a soft look that keeps the color from feeling harsh.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well for small sprayable parts where a pale blue finish is needed on a single component or accessory. It can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shelf brackets, railings, shutters, PVC trim pieces, hardware covers, and other metal, plastic, or previously coated items after proper preparation. It is also a practical choice for frames, baskets, and display pieces that need a calm blue finish on removable parts.
Because this is a light color, dark or uneven substrates can show through more easily, especially if the surface is patchy or not well primed. A smooth base and even film build help the color read more consistently. On glossy parts, surface defects and sheen differences may be more noticeable, and additional coats may be needed for full, even coverage over stronger existing colors.
