A match of Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone reads as a muted blue-gray with a subtle green cast and low chroma. It has a restrained, slightly cool character rather than a clear blue or a bright teal, and the medium depth keeps it from looking pale.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, conduit, brackets, mailbox parts, shutters, railings, and cabinet hardware where a quiet blue-green gray helps the piece coordinate with an existing painted surface. It can also be used on baskets, frames, shelving, and small furniture accents when the goal is a consistent finish across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.

Because this color is low in chroma, it generally reads more evenly than a vivid color, but finish, substrate, and film build can still shift the balance between blue and green. Darker or uneven surfaces may need proper priming for consistent coverage, and glossy substrates can make surface flaws or sheen differences more noticeable. Outdoor exposure is usually less demanding on a muted color like this than on a bright accent color, but preparation still matters.

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 G12 Bluestone is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including G12 Bluestone so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone 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 G12 Bluestone 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.

If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact us and one of our expert staff would be happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ G12 Bluestone *

Where can I find the SDS for Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone in MyPerfectColor paint?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone color name by itself. If you are buying a match of G12 Bluestone, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the product you plan to order.

This matters because the SDS can differ by format and formulation, so check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint or spray paint you are purchasing.

What should I consider when choosing a finish for Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone in MyPerfectColor paint?

With G12 Bluestone, the finish you choose affects both durability and how the color reads on the finished item. Higher gloss usually reflects more light, is easier to clean, and can make surface texture and application marks more noticeable. Lower gloss usually reduces reflection, but it can also change how the matched color appears after it dries.

If the part needs regular cleaning or handling, choose the finish that fits the use first, then order a match of G12 Bluestone in that finish rather than assuming one sheen will behave like another.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to G12 Bluestone can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and some need better prep or primer than others. Test on the actual plastic if possible before coating the full part.

If adhesion is important, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel to improve bonding before applying the G12 Bluestone match. A quick test helps confirm that the plastic accepts the coating and that the finish looks even on that specific material.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone?

Before ordering a custom match of G12 Bluestone, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the finish, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to order the right version the first time.

If the part will be used in a visible area or beside an existing coated surface, double-check the surface type and finish because those details can change how the G12 Bluestone match looks after application.

How should I prep metal before applying Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone as a MyPerfectColor match?

For metal, clean off dirt, grease, rust, and loose coating before applying a match of G12 Bluestone. If the surface is glossy or sound but slick, scuffing it first can help the new coating hold better.

Old coatings, surface texture, and rust contamination can all affect the final appearance of the G12 Bluestone match. If the part is heavily rusted, damaged, or coated with an unknown finish, a test area is a good way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you commit to the full project.

We use our materials (pigments and base paints) to create our own formulas for Martha Stewart colors.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart G12 Bluestone, 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.
