A match of Martha Stewart F05 Peat is a muted, medium-dark olive-brown with a soft gray cast. Its low chroma keeps it restrained, while the slight green-yellow bias gives it an earthy character rather than a clean neutral brown.

As MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Martha Stewart color reference, it can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, PVC trim pieces, shelf supports, knobs, and furniture accents. It also fits baskets, frames, and other removable parts where a subdued surface finish is useful.

The low LRV means the color reads fairly deep after application, so surface prep and even film build matter. Darker finishes can make texture, sheen shifts, and substrate flaws more noticeable, especially on smooth metal or plastic. On uneven or patched surfaces, a careful base and enough coverage help the color read consistently.

Product Data

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 F05 Peat is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including F05 Peat so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart F05 Peat 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 F05 Peat 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™ F05 Peat *

How long does Martha Stewart F05 Peat custom spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Martha Stewart F05 Peat is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before heavy handling or use.

Dry to the touch, ready for another coat, and fully cured are different stages, so do not treat them as the same milestone when planning your project.

What prep should I do before spraying Martha Stewart F05 Peat over metal or an existing coating?

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean off dirt, grease, rust, and other contamination before applying a match of Martha Stewart F05 Peat. If the old finish is glossy or in good condition, scuffing helps the new coating bond more reliably.

The texture, gloss, and condition of the existing coating can affect how Martha Stewart F05 Peat looks after it dries, so test a small area first if the finish beside it is important.

Can Martha Stewart F05 Peat be ordered as MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of Martha Stewart F05 Peat in spray paint for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, decor pieces, and similar items where spray application is practical.

This is useful when the goal is to coordinate the object to a known paint color reference, not to buy the original Martha Stewart paint product.

Can Martha Stewart F05 Peat custom spray paint be used on plastic and other difficult surfaces?

Plastics vary widely, so a match of Martha Stewart F05 Peat should always be tested on the actual item before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but surface prep still matters.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on challenging surfaces and reduce the risk of failure on smooth or low-energy plastics.

How much Martha Stewart F05 Peat spray paint do I need for my project?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Martha Stewart F05 Peat covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, spray method, and how many coats you need.

If you are covering a larger area, a rough surface, or a part that needs more than one coat, plan extra paint so you do not run short before the job is finished.

Does MyPerfectColor have the original formula for Martha Stewart F05 Peat?
MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart colors by recreating the colors in the original color books. This original color spec enables us to accurately recreate the Martha Stewart F05 Peat color. We use our materials (pigments and base paints) to create our own formulas for Martha Stewart colors. There is no "original formula" that anyone can use, because a formula is based on the specific ingredients. The original ingredients don't exist anymore. Thankfully it doesn't really matter because as long as we have the original color specs then we can accurately recreate the color.
How can MyPerfectColor match the Martha Stewart F05 Peat?

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart F05 Peat in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

Can I buy Martha Stewart F05 Peat locally?
You would have to ask around locally. MyPerfectColor can make and ship the Martha Stewart F05 Peat in a variety of paint types, but we are not able to comment on what other suppliers can provide. MyPerfectColor is not just working off a formula in a database - we compare every batch against the original color to verify the color accuracy. MyPerfectColor has extensive color matching capabilities and more than ten times the number of pigments available to a typical paint store.
How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart F05 Peat in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart F05 Peat, 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.
