Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart 8347 Buckboard reads as a muted blue-gray with a slight violet undertone. It is a medium-light, low-chroma color, so it looks soft rather than crisp, with the cool cast becoming more noticeable as the finish and substrate change.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelf supports, hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It also suits frames, small furniture accents, and removable fixtures where a restrained gray-blue is needed on a sprayable surface.

Because this is a muted mid-tone color, the substrate still matters. Dark or uneven base colors can show through the first coats, and gloss level or surface texture can make the blue-violet cast read slightly stronger or softer. For the most even result, proper prep and enough coat build are important before the color is fully opaque.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart 8347 Buckboard is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including 8347 Buckboard so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart 8347 Buckboard 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 8347 Buckboard based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. 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. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8347 Buckboard *

Can I order 8347 Buckboard as custom spray paint for switch covers, knobs, vents, or speaker grilles?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of 8347 Buckboard for small parts and hardware where a smooth spray finish is practical. It is a good fit for items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar removable parts.

Keep in mind that the final look can change with the surface material, texture, and finish, so a spray test on the actual item is the safest way to confirm the result before coating the full set of parts.

How much area will 8347 Buckboard cover in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, one can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating small parts such as vents, brackets, or hardware, one can may go further or shorter depending on overspray and the number of coats. If you are not sure, plan for extra product so you do not run short before finishing the job.

What should I expect for dry time and recoating with 8347 Buckboard spray paint?

For 8347 Buckboard in spray paint, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is usually dry to touch within minutes, can typically be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

If the part needs to be handled, assembled, or installed, wait for the coating to reach the stage that matches your use. Recoating too soon can affect appearance and film quality, so follow the product directions for the specific item and conditions.

What surface prep should I do before applying 8347 Buckboard custom spray paint?

Good prep helps the match look more consistent on the finished part. Before spraying 8347 Buckboard, clean the surface, remove grease or wax, and lightly scuff the area if the material allows it. Mask off any areas that should not be painted.

Because adhesion can vary by substrate, it is smart to test the paint on the actual surface first, especially on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts. That small test can show whether extra prep or primer is needed before you coat the full item.

Where can I find the SDS for 8347 Buckboard paint from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the 8347 Buckboard color name alone. If you need safety information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product you are ordering.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you review the SDS for the exact paint type you plan to use, such as spray paint, since the safety information can differ by product chemistry.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8347 Buckboard in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8347 Buckboard, 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.
