A match of Sears Light Coffee is a muted, medium-depth brown with a warm beige-tan cast. It reads softer than a strong chocolate brown and less golden than a tan, with low chroma that keeps the color subdued rather than vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Light Coffee can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, PVC pipe, shelving supports, hardware, and other small parts where a coordinated brown finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because the color is moderately dark and muted, it often covers more evenly than a light color, but finish and substrate still affect the result. A smooth glossy surface can make sheen differences and prep marks more noticeable, while rough or patchy bases can shift how warm the color appears. Proper surface preparation and even film build help the match read consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sears™ Light Coffee *

Can MyPerfectColor match Sears Light Coffee 26189 for plastic parts, and what should I check first?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint for Sears Light Coffee 26189, and it is commonly used on projects where the target color needs to be applied to plastic parts. Because plastics vary widely, test the coating on the actual material before you paint the final part.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the exact substrate. If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat.

What prep is recommended before spraying Sears Light Coffee 26189 on metal or over an existing coating?

For metal or an existing painted surface, clean the part first so dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the surface is slick, lightly scuff it so the new coating has some tooth.

Check for rust, peeling paint, or unstable old coating before ordering the finish. The condition of the old surface, along with its gloss and texture, can change how MyPerfectColor's match of Sears Light Coffee 26189 looks after application.

Will Sears Light Coffee 26189 look the same if I order it in a different finish?

Not exactly. The color reference Sears Light Coffee 26189 identifies the target color, but the finish you choose can change how that match reads after it is applied. Matte, satin, and gloss all reflect light differently, so the same color can appear lighter, deeper, or more reflective depending on sheen.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, a finish change can make the difference more noticeable. If the match is for a new part or a complete repaint, you can usually choose the finish based on the application needs and expected appearance of the finished item.

How do I choose the right sheen for MyPerfectColor match of Sears Light Coffee 26189?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how much reflection you want, and how easy you want the surface to clean. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and can be easier to wipe down, while lower gloss reduces shine and can make surface flaws less noticeable.

Keep in mind that sheen also changes the way MyPerfectColor's match of Sears Light Coffee 26189 appears. If you want the closest practical result for a specific project, match the finish to the item and the surrounding surfaces rather than treating sheen as only a color choice.

Can Sears Light Coffee 26189 be ordered for switch covers, vents, or other small parts?

Yes. Sears Light Coffee 26189 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar hardware. Spray application is often the most practical way to coat these items evenly.

This format is useful when you need a repeatable color match on removable or hard-to-paint parts. For the best result, make sure the surface is clean and properly prepared before spraying.

How do I find the same color as the Sears Light Coffee in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sears Light Coffee, 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.

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.
