A match of Sherwin Williams SW7073 Network Gray reads as a soft, cool-leaning gray with a faint blue cast. It is low in chroma, so the color stays restrained rather than colorful, and its LRV of 37.1 places it in the mid-range instead of reading as a pale gray.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on small parts where a quiet, coordinated gray is needed: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, outlet covers, window hardware, shelf brackets, metal frames, mailboxes, railings, and PVC trim pieces. It also fits removable accessories and fixtures such as baskets, cabinet pulls, lamp parts, and other sprayed components that need a subdued blue-gray finish.
Because the color is muted, it generally hides more evenly than a vivid accent color, but finish and substrate still affect the result. Gloss level, texture, and film build can make it read slightly lighter or deeper, and bare plastic or dark metal may still need proper prep and more than one coat for uniform coverage. On small parts, sheen differences can be as noticeable as the color itself.

Confirm SW7073 Network Gray from a physical swatch, an approved color sample, or a known existing painted part from the original brand. Screen images can shift with device settings and lighting, so they are not a reliable ordering reference.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference. It is not the original Sherwin Williams paint product, so verifying the target color before checkout helps avoid ordering the wrong match.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW7073 Network Gray color name by itself. Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order.
If you are comparing product types, make sure the SDS matches the exact coating you are buying, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint is often used on plastic parts, but plastic types vary a lot. For slick or hard-to-bond plastics, prep and primer can make a difference, so test on the actual item first.
MyPerfectColor primer is recommended to improve adhesion when the substrate is difficult. This matters for parts like PVC pipe, vent covers, shutters, brackets, hardware, or other removable plastic items where a match of SW7073 Network Gray needs to hold up on the real surface.
Confirm the original color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you order. SW7073 Network Gray identifies the color target, but it does not define finish or the coating format.
Custom-made color matches are made to order and are not returnable or refundable, so checking those details first reduces the risk of buying the wrong product.
Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, which can change how SW7073 Network Gray reads after application. The same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss because sheen affects perceived color and surface appearance.
If you are coating a part that needs to coordinate with another painted surface, pick the finish intentionally because the color code alone does not determine sheen.
MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW7073 Network Gray in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.
Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW7073 Network Gray, 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.

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.
