Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1916 Low-key Lime *

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1916 Low-key Lime can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when you need to coordinate baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, or similar items to this color target. This is a match of SW1916 Low-key Lime, not Sherwin Williams original paint. Spray paint is often the practical choice for small parts and irregular shapes because it can cover edges, trim details, and hardware more evenly than brushing.

If the item will be seen next to other painted parts, confirm the finish before ordering because sheen can change how SW1916 Low-key Lime reads on the finished object.

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first so dust, oil, wax, and loose corrosion do not interfere with adhesion. If the old finish is glossy, lightly scuff sand it so the new coating can grip. If the surface is peeling, chalky, or contaminated, fix that problem before painting or the new finish may not hold well.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW1916 Low-key Lime is a light color, so surface defects, uneven texture, or show-through in the old coating can be more noticeable. A test spray on the actual part is the safest way to check prep, adhesion, and final appearance before you commit to the whole project.

With MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1916 Low-key Lime, expect dry-to-touch within minutes, recoat in one to two hours, and full cure in about two weeks. These are different stages, so a part can feel dry before it is ready for hard handling or heavy use.

If you need more than one coat, wait until the recoat window before applying the next layer. That helps the finish build correctly and reduces the risk of trapping solvent or disturbing the coat underneath.

The best finish depends on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to read on the finished surface. Higher sheen usually gives more reflectivity and is easier to clean, while lower sheen can hide small surface flaws better and look less shiny. Because sheen changes the appearance of SW1916 Low-key Lime, the same color can look different across finishes.

If the painted item must coordinate with nearby parts, choose the sheen that best matches the surrounding surfaces and the amount of wear the object will see. Ordering the right finish is just as important as ordering the right color reference.

Plastic can be painted with SW1916 Low-key Lime, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, yet a primer can improve adhesion on slick, flexible, or low-energy surfaces.

If the plastic type is unknown or the part has a molded finish, use the MyPerfectColor primer before topcoating to reduce adhesion risk. A small test area will also show whether the plastic texture changes how SW1916 Low-key Lime appears after spraying.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1916 Low-key Lime, 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.
