A match of Ace 8A-1A Old Hickory is a deep, muted reddish brown with a warm undertone. Its low light reflectance and modest chroma give it an earthy, subdued look rather than a clear or vivid red-brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be useful on parts and accessories that need a dark warm brown-red finish, such as metal railings, mailbox components, brackets, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelving hardware, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and furniture accents. It also works well for removable panels and small fabricated parts where a repeatable color match matters.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, surface condition and sheen can affect how it reads once sprayed. Darker or more even substrates often allow the color to build smoothly, while lighter or patchier surfaces may need proper prep and additional coats for consistent coverage. Gloss level can also change the apparent depth of the finish.
