Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead reads as a soft, muted green with a gray cast and a slight yellow-green lean. It sits in a medium-light range, so it looks lighter than an olive and less crisp than a clean green, with a subdued, earthy character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to D12 Fiddlehead can be used on spray-friendly parts where a quiet green finish is needed, such as vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, PVC trim, basket frames, and small furniture accents. It can also work on tools, fixtures, and accessories that need to coordinate with an existing brand color reference without drawing too much attention.

Because this is a muted color rather than a vivid one, it often covers more evenly than high-chroma greens, but the final appearance still depends on the substrate, sheen, and film build. Dark, glossy, or uneven surfaces can show through more easily, so proper prep and enough coats matter, especially on plastic and previously coated metal. A glossier finish may make the green read a little clearer, while a flatter finish can push it toward a softer gray-green.

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 D12 Fiddlehead is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including D12 Fiddlehead so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead 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 D12 Fiddlehead 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™ D12 Fiddlehead *

For Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead, how do I choose the right sheen for MyPerfectColor paint or spray paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much surface reflection you want to see. Lower-sheen finishes usually hide minor surface flaws better, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe clean and can look more reflective on the finished part.

For Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead, the color match is the same target, but the final appearance can shift with sheen. If you are matching a removable part, trim piece, fixture, or accessory, pick the sheen that best fits the surface and the cleaning needs of that item before you order.

Before ordering Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead, what should I confirm if I want a custom-made MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead, so these details matter for getting the right product for your project.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. Double-check the finish and format if you need spray paint for a small part, fixture, or other specific application.

Where can I find the SDS for Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not the Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead color name by itself. That means you should look up the safety information for the specific MyPerfectColor paint or spray paint you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use that source to confirm the correct document for the product format you plan to use.

Will Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead look the same after MyPerfectColor matches it in spray paint?

It will be matched to the Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead color reference, but the finished look can still change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A color that is correct on paper or in a swatch can read a little differently once it is applied to the real item.

If the painted part will sit next to other finished surfaces, check it under the same light the item will live in. That is the best way to judge how the MyPerfectColor match will appear after application.

What surface prep should I do before using Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease or residue, and masking any areas you do not want painted. If the surface is smooth or glossy, a light scuff may help the coating grip better, but only use prep that is appropriate for the material.

Before painting the full item, test the Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead match on the actual surface whenever possible. That helps you confirm adhesion, coverage, and appearance on the real substrate before you commit to the whole project.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead?

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart D12 Fiddlehead, 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.
