Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE5899 Sapphire Fog is a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and low saturation. It reads as a medium-depth color rather than a bright blue, with enough gray to keep it subdued and a slight violet-blue lean in the undertone.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE5899 Sapphire Fog can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, frames, brackets, shelving, railings, mailbox parts, and other small components where a restrained blue-gray finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, hardware, access panels, and painted accessories that need to carry the same color reference across mixed materials.

Because the color is muted rather than highly saturated, it usually applies with a controlled look, but sheen and surface texture still affect the final read. Glossier finishes will show the blue note and any surface flaws more clearly, while thinner coverage or a strongly contrasting base can make the color appear lighter or less uniform until the film builds. On smooth plastic or metal, proper prep and primer help the match read consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5899 Sapphire Fog *

Where can I find the SDS for DE5899 Sapphire Fog by Dunn Edwards when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS applies to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the Dunn Edwards color name by itself. If you are ordering a match of DE5899 Sapphire Fog, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to buy. For this color, the SDS page is here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need the SDS for a specific format, make sure you check the sheet for that exact MyPerfectColor product before use.

Will DE5899 Sapphire Fog look the same in matte versus gloss when I order a MyPerfectColor match?

No. A match of Dunn Edwards DE5899 Sapphire Fog is the same color reference, but matte and gloss finishes can make it read differently after application because sheen changes how light reflects off the surface.

If your part has to coordinate with an existing item, choose the finish you want before ordering, since the finish can change the way the matched color appears even when the color formula is the same.

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DE5899 Sapphire Fog take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DE5899 Sapphire Fog, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually one to two hours, and full cure is about two weeks.

Use those stages differently: dry-to-touch is for careful handling, recoat is for adding another coat, and full cure is when the coating is ready for normal handling and service. If the part needs to be stacked, assembled, or installed quickly, allow extra time rather than relying only on dry-to-touch.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of DE5899 Sapphire Fog?

Before ordering a custom match of DE5899 Sapphire Fog, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps make sure you order the right MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify those details before you place the order, especially if you are buying spray paint for a specific part or fixture.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying DE5899 Sapphire Fog as a MyPerfectColor match?

Before applying a match of DE5899 Sapphire Fog to metal or an existing coating, clean off dirt, oils, oxidation, and any loose material first. If the surface is glossy or slick, scuff it so the new coating has something to grip.

The condition of the old finish matters because gloss, texture, rust, and contamination can change how the final color and sheen read. If the existing coating is failing, uneven, or unknown, test a small area before coating the whole part.
