A match of Sherwin Williams SW6236 Grays Harbor is a dark blue-gray with a cool cast and low chroma. It reads more muted than a clear blue, with enough gray to keep the color subdued and enough blue to stay distinct. The low LRV means it will appear fairly deep on a finished surface.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is suited to smaller parts where a dark, restrained blue-gray is needed: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, metal brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, frames, shelving, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be useful on hardware, fixture housings, and removable accessories that need to coordinate with a known paint reference.
Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, the final look will vary with finish, substrate, and film build. On rough or porous surfaces, the blue-gray can appear slightly softer; on smooth metal or plastic, it may read deeper and more uniform. Dark colors can also make surface imperfections and sheen differences more noticeable, so prep and even application matter.

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Hold the can at a consistent distance, keep the spray moving before and after each pass, and overlap each stroke enough to avoid striping or uneven sheen. Heavy application can cause runs, slower dry time, and a deeper color build that may look different from the intended match of SW6236 Grays Harbor.
If you are coating a small part, fixture, grille, or removable accessory, test your spray pattern on a separate piece first so you can confirm coverage and finish before you coat the final item.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. A higher gloss finish is usually easier to wipe down and will reflect more light, while a flatter finish reduces reflection but can be less forgiving to clean.
Keep in mind that the same match of SW6236 Grays Harbor can read differently in different sheens. If you need the color to coordinate with an existing painted part, the gloss level should be chosen carefully because it changes how the match appears after application.
It will be the same color match, but the way SW6236 Grays Harbor reads can still change after application because of lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A match that looks even on a sample card can appear lighter, darker, cooler, or flatter once it is on the final object.
This matters most when the painted item sits close to an existing surface or is viewed under strong indoor light, daylight, or mixed lighting. If appearance consistency is critical, plan for the finished part and its viewing conditions, not just the color reference alone.
Confirm SW6236 Grays Harbor from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing painted reference, not from screen viewing alone. Screens can shift color, contrast, and brightness enough to make the wrong choice.
MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the safest order is the one based on a verified physical reference. That helps avoid buying a match of the wrong color name or the wrong version of a similar-looking gray-blue tone.
