Match of Sears™ Butterfly Yellow *

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a custom match of Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397 in spray paint and other formats, but plastics can vary a lot. Before ordering for a plastic part, test the actual material if possible, because adhesion and final appearance can differ by plastic type, texture, and surface condition.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel on the plastic first. That is especially important if the part is smooth or low-energy, because the primer can help the coating bond more reliably than paint alone.

Yes. Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, and that changes how Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397 reads on the finished item. A flatter finish reduces reflectivity, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the same color look slightly different.

The color match is still based on Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397, but the substrate, texture, and sheen can change the way it appears after application. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, the finish choice matters because the old surface and the new coating may not reflect light the same way.

Custom spray paint matched to Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397 is useful for small or awkward items where brushing is inefficient. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are easier to coat evenly with spray application.

It is also practical for removable pieces such as covers, grilles, brackets, and small fabricated parts that need to coordinate with a known paint color. If the project involves multiple materials, spray paint can help keep the color reference consistent across those parts after proper prep.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and handled. Lower sheen options usually hide surface flaws better and reduce reflectivity, while higher sheen options are often easier to wipe clean and can feel more durable on some items.

For Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397, remember that sheen changes the way the color looks on the finished surface. If you are matching a nearby part, try to keep the sheen as close as possible to the existing coating so the difference is less noticeable.

Before applying Sears Butterfly Yellow 26397 to metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface well, remove contamination, and scuff it so the new paint can grip. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing coating, address that first or the finish may not hold up.

The condition of the old surface matters because gloss, texture, and wear can change how the new coating looks. If the item has an old finish beside the new one, a direct side-by-side match may show differences even when the color formula is correct.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sears Butterfly Yellow, 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.
