Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue is a medium-depth cool blue with a soft, subdued look and a slight gray cast. It is not a bright accent blue; the color reads quieter and more controlled, with enough depth to hold its character on small parts and coated hardware.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelf supports, fixture housings, and other small sprayable parts where a coordinated blue finish is needed. It also works for PVC trim pieces, shutters, removable panels, frames, and furniture hardware when you want a repeatable match across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this color sits in a mid-depth range, it typically covers more readily than a very light blue, though dark or uneven substrates can still influence the number of coats needed. Finish matters as well: gloss can make the color read deeper and can reveal surface flaws more clearly, while flatter finishes soften the look. On exterior parts, the moderate saturation is less likely to look stark than a vivid blue, but film build, surface prep, and substrate texture will still affect the final result.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue based on Martha Stewart color publications.

Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8312 Calling Card Blue *

Where can I find the SDS for Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product, not the Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue color name by itself. For this match, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need the SDS for a specific package or finish, make sure you are looking at the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

How long does Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, but that does not mean the coating is ready for full use. Plan to recoat in one to two hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before heavy handling or reassembly.

Dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. Temperature, film thickness, and surface type can change the actual timing, so use the project conditions as your final guide.

Can I use Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue can be used on many plastics, but plastic type and prep matter a lot. Test on the actual part first, because some plastics need extra surface preparation or a primer to improve adhesion.

If adhesion is a concern, use the MyPerfectColor Primer for Acrylic Enamel before topcoating: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/. That is especially useful on difficult or low-energy plastics, but the final result still depends on the exact material and prep.

Will Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue look the same if I change the finish?

No. The same Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue color target can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. A finish change can also change the apparent depth of the color.

If the item must match a nearby surface, choose the finish you will actually use before you approve the color. A color match in one finish should not be judged as identical to the same match in another finish.

How much Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the project needs. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For a better estimate, measure the area, account for extra coats on dark or rough surfaces, and plan for some margin if the item is porous, textured, or difficult to spray evenly.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue?

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8312 Calling Card Blue, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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