A match of Sherwin Williams SW6790 Adriatic Sea is a deep blue-green with a cool lean and a noticeable teal undertone. The low LRV of 9.2 gives it a dark, grounded appearance, while the moderate chroma keeps it from reading flat or charcoal.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shutters, and other small fixtures where a dark blue-green finish is needed. It also works well on shelf supports, cabinet hardware, frames, and removable parts that are easier to spray than brush.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and film build matter. Light or uneven substrates can show through more readily, especially on the first coats, and sheen level can shift how much the blue-green undertone stands out. On smooth parts, even spray passes help avoid patchy depth, and exterior exposure can be harder on darker, more saturated colors than on quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6790 Adriatic Sea *

How do I confirm SW6790 Adriatic Sea before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm SW6790 Adriatic Sea from a physical swatch, fan deck, or a known existing painted sample from Sherwin Williams rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is verifying that SW6790 Adriatic Sea is the target you want.

If you are matching an existing part, compare against the actual item when possible because age, lighting, sheen, and substrate can change how the color reads.

What spray technique should I use for SW6790 Adriatic Sea to avoid runs or uneven color build?

Use light, even coats and avoid heavy wet passes. Keep your application moving with consistent overlap so the color lays down smoothly instead of pooling in one area.

For a match of SW6790 Adriatic Sea, the final look can shift if the film is too heavy, especially on edges, corners, and detailed parts. Let each coat dry according to the product directions before applying the next coat.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW6790 Adriatic Sea should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, application method, hiding power, and how many coats you need. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat, depending on the product and surface.

For SW6790 Adriatic Sea, plan extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, since those conditions can require more paint to reach full, even coverage.

Which sheen should I choose for SW6790 Adriatic Sea when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and how the matched color looks on the finished item, so the same SW6790 Adriatic Sea color can appear different in flat, satin, or gloss finishes.

If you are matching an existing piece or nearby surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. If you are coating a new part, pick the finish that best fits the wear and cleaning needs of that object.

Can I apply SW6790 Adriatic Sea over metal or an existing coating?

Yes, but surface preparation matters. Clean off dirt, grease, and contamination, remove rust if present, and scuff glossy sound coatings so the new paint can bond properly. Loose or peeling paint should be removed before applying a match of SW6790 Adriatic Sea.

The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can affect the final appearance even when the color match is correct. If the item is difficult or high-visibility, a test application is a good way to reduce risk before painting the full part.
