Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Sherwin Williams SW2079 Avenue Tan is a medium-light tan with a muted yellow-green undertone and moderate depth. It reads quiet rather than bright, with a low-chroma character that can shift slightly between beige and olive-beige depending on sheen and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on shutters, vents, return grilles, switch plates, mailbox parts, railings, shelf brackets, PVC trim, and other small pieces that need to stay in the same tan family as an existing reference. It also fits hardware, frames, and fixture covers where spray application is easier than brushing around edges, seams, or tight profiles.

Because this is a restrained neutral, it generally hides more evenly than a vivid color, but coverage still depends on the starting surface and prep. Darker or patchy substrates can show through early coats, and gloss level will affect how warm or gray the color appears. Film build, texture, and drying conditions can also change the final read of the match.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2079 Avenue Tan *

How can lighting change how SW2079 Avenue Tan looks after I apply a MyPerfectColor match?

A match of Sherwin Williams SW2079 Avenue Tan can read differently after application depending on lighting, sheen, placement, and the nearby surfaces around it. A MyPerfectColor match is made to the color reference, but the finished item may still look slightly warmer, cooler, lighter, or darker under different light sources or beside different materials. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, the safest approach is to expect some visual shift and confirm the match on the actual part whenever possible.

Can SW2079 Avenue Tan be sprayed on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW2079 Avenue Tan can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely and some need more prep than others. Test on the actual plastic first, clean the surface well, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion when needed. Proper prep matters because a plastic surface that looks similar can still behave very differently from one project to the next.

Which sheen should I choose for SW2079 Avenue Tan?

Sheen is a practical ordering choice because it changes reflectivity, cleanup, durability, and how SW2079 Avenue Tan reads on the finished item. Lower sheen usually looks less reflective and can hide surface texture better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color appear sharper or deeper. Choose the sheen that fits the part you are painting and the amount of wear, cleaning, or handling it will get.
