A match of Martha Stewart 8280 Aggie reads as a muted blue-green with a cool bias and a soft gray cast. It sits in the medium range of depth, so it is not a pale tint or a deep dark shade, and its moderate chroma keeps the color restrained rather than bright.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for parts that need a coordinated, low-key finish. Common spray-paint projects include HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, PVC trim pieces, and small fixtures or accessories where a brush finish is less practical.
Because this color is moderately muted rather than vivid, it usually covers more predictably than a high-chroma accent color, but finish and substrate still affect the result. The same match can read slightly different on smooth plastic, bare metal, or a previously coated surface, and sheen changes can make the color appear a bit deeper or lighter. If you are coating an unfamiliar material, a test application is useful before finishing the full part.

Before ordering a custom match of 8280 Aggie, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen you need, and the quantity. That matters because MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to 8280 Aggie, not the original Martha Stewart paint product.
Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because once they are made they are not returnable or refundable. If you are matching a specific part or surface, make sure the product format fits the job before you place the order.
Coverage for a match of 8280 Aggie depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you expect to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.
If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for more material. It is usually safer to measure the area and order extra than to assume one can or one gallon will be enough for full coverage.
For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8280 Aggie, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep your passes steady, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid lingering in one spot because heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build.
Let each coat dry enough before the next one as directed on the product label. Thin coats usually give you more control over the final appearance than trying to cover everything at once.
Start by cleaning the surface so it is free of dirt, dust, grease, and loose material. If the surface is glossy or already coated, a light scuff where appropriate can help the new coating bond better, and masking nearby areas helps keep the result controlled.
For a match of 8280 Aggie, it is also smart to test the product on the actual surface first, especially on unfamiliar plastics, metal, or previously coated parts. A small test spot can show how the color, adhesion, and sheen behave before you commit to the full project.
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 8280 Aggie color name alone. If you are ordering a match of 8280 Aggie, use the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product you selected.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8280 Aggie, 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.
