Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail is a light-to-medium warm neutral with beige, tan, and soft brown notes. The color reads muted rather than bright, with a gentle yellow-peach undertone and moderate depth.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch plates, cabinet knobs, picture frames, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, speaker grilles, PVC trim pieces, and other small parts where a calm, coordinated finish is needed. It also suits hardware, wicker or metal baskets, and removable fixtures that benefit from an unobtrusive earth-toned coating.

Because this is a light, softly tinted neutral, the final look can shift with substrate color, sheen, and film build. Darker or uneven surfaces may need additional coats for even coverage, and smoother finishes will usually make the warm undertone read a little clearer than rough or porous ones.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail 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 8129 Squirrel's Tail 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8129 Squirrel's Tail *

Can I order Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail as spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor accessories?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving parts, hardware, and other small items where spray application is easier than brushing.

If your goal is to coordinate the item to this color reference, choose the MyPerfectColor match rather than the original Martha Stewart paint product. Make sure the surface is properly prepared for the material you are spraying.

What should I confirm before ordering 8129 Squirrel's Tail from MyPerfectColor?

Before ordering 8129 Squirrel's Tail, confirm the exact brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to that color reference, so those details affect whether the order fits your project.

Custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details before you buy.

Will 8129 Squirrel's Tail look the same after it is sprayed on my item?

Not always. Even when the match is correct, 8129 Squirrel's Tail can read differently depending on lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces.

This matters after application because the finished item may be viewed under different light than the original swatch or reference. If the item will sit close to an existing painted surface, those differences can be easier to notice.

How much 8129 Squirrel's Tail spray paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size and texture of the item, the surface condition, how much hiding power is needed, the spray technique, and the number of coats.

As a planning guide, one can of MyPerfectColor spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you need a larger area or expect extra coats for even coverage, plan your quantity accordingly. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

Can 8129 Squirrel's Tail spray paint be used on plastic parts?

Plastic can be a good spray-paint application, but it varies a lot by material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is still important because some plastics need different prep or primer.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before painting, especially on difficult or unfamiliar plastic surfaces.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8129 Squirrel's Tail, 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.
