A match of Dunn Edwards DEA138 Indigo Night reads as a deep, cool blue with a subtle violet cast. With low light reflectance, it appears dark rather than bright, and the color can shift a little deeper or more muted depending on sheen and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on small parts that need a dark blue finish, such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, camera housings, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shelving ends, and metal or plastic hardware. It also works well on trim components, shutters, downspouts, and other removable pieces where sprayed coverage is easier to control than brushing.

Because this is a dark, moderately saturated color, surface prep and film build can affect the final read. On lighter or uneven bases, consistent coverage may take multiple light coats, and changes in gloss can make the blue-violet character and surface texture more noticeable. Exterior exposure can also soften the color over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEA138 Indigo Night *

How do I confirm DEA138 Indigo Night by Dunn Edwards before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DEA138 Indigo Night from a physical Dunn Edwards swatch, a documented color chip, or another known reference before ordering. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that brand color target, so the key decision is whether you have the right source color.

Do not rely on screen images alone, since monitors and phone displays can shift Indigo Night noticeably.

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DEA138 Indigo Night on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. Clean the surface well, use the right prep for that plastic, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when adhesion needs help.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DEA138 Indigo Night can work for many plastic items, but the final result depends on the exact plastic and surface preparation.

Which sheen should I choose for MyPerfectColor DEA138 Indigo Night spray paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not just how you want it to look. Lower sheens usually reduce reflectivity and can hide surface texture better, while higher sheens are often easier to clean and can be more durable on handled parts.

Because DEA138 Indigo Night is a dark color, the sheen you choose will change how the match reads on the finished item, so pick the finish that fits the substrate and the amount of wear the part will see.

Will DEA138 Indigo Night by Dunn Edwards look the same after MyPerfectColor applies it?

Not always. Even when the color match is correct, lighting, surface texture, neighboring materials, and sheen can change how DEA138 Indigo Night reads after application.

If the painted item will sit beside an existing surface, test first on the real substrate so you can judge the finished look in the actual location and lighting.

Can MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DEA138 Indigo Night be used on switch covers, vents, and hardware?

Yes. Custom spray paint matched to DEA138 Indigo Night is often a practical choice for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items where a smooth spray finish is needed.

For the best result, prepare the surface correctly, use primer when needed, and apply light coats so the color builds evenly on the part.
