Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0097 Federal Blue *

No. A match of SW0097 Federal Blue can read differently in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes how much light is reflected and how deep the color appears.

This matters most when the finished part will sit near another coated surface or when you need several pieces to look consistent after application.
