Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE6056 Buffalo Herd is a deep, muted brown with a warm red-brown undertone. It reads earthy rather than bright, with low lightness and modest chroma, so the color has a quiet, grounded character instead of a clean or vivid look. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Dunn Edwards color reference is suited to projects that need this darker brown-red identity.

This color works well on spray-paintable parts where a subdued warm brown is useful, such as metal brackets, handrails, mailboxes, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving supports, cabinet hardware, furniture legs, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be used on shutters, downspouts, small exterior fixtures, or removable accessories when the goal is to carry the same color onto smaller components made from different materials.

Because the color is fairly dark, substrate condition and film build can affect the result. Lighter or uneven surfaces may show through more easily before full coverage builds, and gloss level can change how strong the red-brown undertone appears. On metal, plastic, or previously coated parts, even spray passes and proper prep usually matter more than with a lighter color, since texture and sheen differences can stand out in a deep finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE6056 Buffalo Herd *

How should I prep a surface before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE6056 Buffalo Herd?

Start by cleaning off dirt, grease, and loose material, then lightly scuff the surface where that is appropriate for the substrate. Mask areas you do not want coated and test the finish on the actual item before painting the full surface.

Good prep matters because MyPerfectColor is supplying a match of DE6056 Buffalo Herd in its own paint, and adhesion and final appearance depend on the surface you are coating, not the color code alone.

Which sheen should I choose for DE6056 Buffalo Herd in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how much reflectivity you want, and how much surface detail you want the finish to show. The same match of DE6056 Buffalo Herd will look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes.

Lower sheen usually reduces glare and can hide minor surface texture better, while higher sheen is easier to wipe clean but may show more imperfections. If you are matching an existing coated part, try to match the sheen as well as the color.

Where can I find the SDS for DE6056 Buffalo Herd MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the exact MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Dunn Edwards color name by itself. If you are ordering a match of DE6056 Buffalo Herd, check the Safety Data Sheet for the specific format you are buying, such as spray paint or another product type.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE6056 Buffalo Herd do I need?

Plan coverage by measuring the surface area and then factoring in texture, hiding power, the application method, and the number of coats you expect to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage depends on the product and the surface. Rough, porous, or contrasting substrates may need more material than a smooth surface.

Can I use DE6056 Buffalo Herd MyPerfectColor spray paint on baskets, frames, or hardware?

Yes, if the item is suitable for spray application and you prepare the surface correctly. A match of DE6056 Buffalo Herd can work well on small parts, shelves, brackets, knobs, hardware, furniture accents, speaker grilles, and other accessories where coordinated color matters.

Clean and degrease first, scuff lightly when the material calls for it, and test on the actual surface before painting the full item. That is especially important on plastic, metal, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts.
