Match of Martha Stewart™ 8345 Concord *

For MyPerfectColor paint matched to 8345 Concord, start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, oil, wax, and loose material so the match can bond properly. If the surface is glossy or slick, light scuffing may help adhesion, then mask off areas you do not want painted.

Before painting a larger part like a vent, grille, pipe, trim piece, or hardware item, test the match on the actual substrate. That helps you confirm both adhesion and how 8345 Concord reads on that material and finish.

Coverage for a match of 8345 Concord depends on the surface size, texture, how much the material absorbs paint, the 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 typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating items like PVC pipe, shutters, gutters, grilles, fixtures, or small hardware, plan for the shape and edges to use more paint than a flat surface of the same size. If hiding power matters, especially over a darker or uneven base, allow for extra coats.

The best sheen depends on the item you are painting and how durable you need the finish to be. Sheen affects reflectivity, cleanup, and how the matched 8345 Concord color will look once applied. A flatter finish gives less reflection, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the same color appear different on the finished part.

If you are coordinating a removable or replacement part with an existing painted surface, the sheen choice matters as much as the color match. Pick the finish that best fits the surface you are painting, not just the color name.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the 8345 Concord color name alone. If you are ordering a spray paint or another format matched to 8345 Concord, use the Safety Data Sheet for that product rather than assuming the brand color reference tells you everything.

Not always. Once a match of 8345 Concord is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item. The same match can look different on a wall, on a metal fixture, or on a textured plastic part.

If the painted piece will sit next to an existing surface, test it in the same lighting where it will be used. That is especially important for parts like covers, grilles, trim pieces, and fixtures where small differences are easier to notice.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8345 Concord, 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.
