A match of Behr 1013 Cottage White is a very light off-white with a soft warm cast. It reads creamy rather than bright white, with low chroma and a muted beige-yellow undertone that stays quiet instead of crisp.

As a match of 1013 Cottage White in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, it is well suited to sprayable parts that need a light, restrained finish, such as PVC trim pieces, vent covers, switch plates, cabinet knobs, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, picture frames, shelving supports, and small fixtures or hardware. The color can also work on speaker grilles, access panels, and other removable components where a light neutral needs to coordinate with surrounding painted surfaces.

Because this is a very light color, darker substrate color, patchy prep, or uneven film build can show through more easily than it would in a deeper shade. Finish and surface texture can also shift the appearance slightly toward creamier or whiter, so application consistency matters when you want an even result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ 1013 Cottage White *

Why can MyPerfectColor's match of Behr 1013 Cottage White look different after it is sprayed on my part?

The match is made to the selected Behr 1013 Cottage White reference, but the finished item can still read differently because of lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. A smooth glossy part, a matte wall, and a rough plastic piece will reflect light in different ways.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, check the applied sample in the actual location before finishing the whole project.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor matched to Behr 1013 Cottage White?

Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy, not the color name alone. SDS information follows the paint chemistry and format, so Behr 1013 Cottage White by itself does not identify the correct sheet.

Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product to confirm the right SDS before ordering or using the paint.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Behr 1013 Cottage White do I need?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the surface is dark, rough, porous, or heavily textured, plan for extra product so you do not run short before the finish is even.

What is the best way to spray Behr 1013 Cottage White for a smoother finish?

Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent distance from the surface.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and color build that looks muddy. If the first coat is thin, build coverage with additional light coats and follow the can instructions for dry and recoat timing.

Can I use MyPerfectColor matched to Behr 1013 Cottage White on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but slick or low-energy plastics may need different prep and a primer to improve adhesion.

Clean the part, prep it properly, and use the MyPerfectColor primer when the substrate is difficult or unknown. A test panel is the safest way to confirm adhesion before you coat the full item.

How do I convert Behr 1013 Cottage White to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr 1013 Cottage White in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
