A match of Dunn Edwards DE5874 Deep Reservoir is a deep, low-chroma blue-gray with a cool undertone. It sits in a darker slate range rather than a bright navy range, so it reads subdued and slightly smoky, with the blue becoming more apparent than the gray when the finish is smooth.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, electrical boxes, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutter hardware, PVC trim pieces, and other small parts that need a dark blue-gray finish. It also works for frames, shelving, knobs, and fixture components where spray application helps cover edges and irregular shapes cleanly.

Because this is a dark color with moderate depth, surface prep and sheen consistency matter. Glossy or uneven substrates can make the finish read lighter or bluer in spots, and thin coverage may leave the gray side of the color more visible. On exterior pieces, sun and weather can gradually soften the depth, so uniform film build is important for a consistent result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5874 Deep Reservoir *

Will DE5874 Deep Reservoir from Dunn Edwards look the same in matte and gloss when I order a MyPerfectColor match?

No. The color reference stays the same, but the finish can change how DE5874 Deep Reservoir reads after application. Matte, satin, and gloss reflect light differently, so the same MyPerfectColor match can look deeper, brighter, or slightly different in perceived contrast once it is on the item.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to match both the color reference and the sheen as closely as possible. If the finish is different, expect the final appearance to differ even when the color formula is matched.

How much DE5874 Deep Reservoir spray paint should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces and higher on smooth surfaces.

If you are coating a larger item or several parts in DE5874 Deep Reservoir, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the final coat. For non-spray paint formats, coverage is usually much higher, often in the 400 to 600 square foot range per gallon depending on the product and surface.

Where do I find the SDS for DE5874 Deep Reservoir by Dunn Edwards?

The safety data sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not the color name alone. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of DE5874 Deep Reservoir, use the SDS for the specific product format you are buying.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Review the SDS before spraying, especially if you are working in a confined area or around other people.

Can DE5874 Deep Reservoir be used on plastic parts, or do I need primer first?

Plastic surfaces vary a lot, so a test on the actual part is important before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint can stick well to most plastics, but adhesion can improve when you use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel applications.

For DE5874 Deep Reservoir, clean the part first and test a small hidden area if possible. If the plastic is slick, flexible, or hard to bond to, primer is the safer choice before applying the color coat.

What prep is needed before painting metal with DE5874 Deep Reservoir?

Metal should be clean, dry, and free of oil, rust, dust, and loose coating before you apply a MyPerfectColor match of DE5874 Deep Reservoir. If the surface is glossy or has an old coating in poor condition, scuffing helps the new paint grip better.

The condition of the existing coating can affect the final look of the color. Texture, gloss, and contamination can all change how DE5874 Deep Reservoir reads after application, so prep matters as much as the color match itself.
