Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE6301 Hidden Forest is a dark, muted green with a strong gray cast and a cool-leaning undertone. Its low chroma and low LRV give it a subdued, grounded appearance rather than a clean or vivid green, and finish choice can change how deep it reads.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on parts that need a restrained green-gray finish, such as vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, shelving supports, and PVC trim pieces. It is also practical for metal or plastic accessories, frames, and other removable components where spray application can cover edges and recesses more evenly than brushing.

Because the color is dark and low in chroma, surface prep and sheen matter. Scratches, texture, and gloss differences can become noticeable, and over a lighter undercoat you may need additional coats to build the color evenly. The final result can also shift with lighting, film build, and substrate, so a consistent application process helps the color read more uniformly.
