MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8053 Blue Hubbard reads as a very light, low-chroma gray-green. It has a soft warm cast and muted depth, so it appears quiet rather than sharp or saturated.

This subdued character works well on spray-painted parts that need to blend in or coordinate with an existing painted surface, such as HVAC vents, return grilles, switch plates, access panels, PVC, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelving supports, and speaker grilles. It can also be used on hardware, small fixtures, and furniture accents where a pale, restrained finish is wanted.

Because this is a light color, coverage can show contrast more easily over dark, uneven, or stained substrates, so surface preparation and enough film build matter. It may take more than one coat for even coverage on challenging surfaces, and the final look can shift with sheen and material texture.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart 8053 Blue Hubbard is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including 8053 Blue Hubbard so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart 8053 Blue Hubbard 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 8053 Blue Hubbard 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8053 Blue Hubbard *

Where can I find the SDS for 8053 Blue Hubbard from Martha Stewart?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the 8053 Blue Hubbard color name by itself. If you need the SDS for the paint you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for that product family: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you review the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use, such as spray paint or another paint format.

Can 8053 Blue Hubbard be used on plastic parts, and do I need primer?

Plastics vary a lot, so 8053 Blue Hubbard should be tested on the actual plastic part before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint generally sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the specific plastic and how it was prepared.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer before applying the matched color. Clean the part first, then test a small area so you can confirm how the finish and adhesion behave on that substrate.

What should I confirm before ordering 8053 Blue Hubbard as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering 8053 Blue Hubbard, confirm that you are choosing the right brand color reference, the right MyPerfectColor product type, the right sheen, and the right quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify the order details before checkout.

This matters most if you are ordering a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match for a specific part or project, because once the color and product are made, the order cannot be treated like a standard stock item.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right 8053 Blue Hubbard color match?

Confirm 8053 Blue Hubbard from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand whenever possible. Screen views can shift with lighting, monitor settings, and device calibration, so they are not a reliable way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so it is important to verify that 8053 Blue Hubbard is the exact reference you want before placing the order.

What prep is needed before applying 8053 Blue Hubbard to metal or an existing coating?

For 8053 Blue Hubbard on metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface first and remove dirt, grease, rust, or other contamination. If the old coating is sound, a light scuff can help the new paint grip better.

The condition of the old finish can affect the result. Gloss, texture, and any damage or corrosion can change how the matched color reads once it is applied, so test a small area when the surface is not fully uniform.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart 8053 Blue Hubbard?

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8053 Blue Hubbard in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8053 Blue Hubbard, 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.
