Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Sherwin Williams SW1301 Rouge Red is a deep, muted red with a warm, earthy cast. It reads as a dark red-brown rather than a bright red, with low light reflectance and enough softness to keep the color from looking clean or vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts and hardware where a darker red-brown is needed: metal brackets, railings, shutters, mailbox parts, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelving, frames, and trim accessories. It can also be used on PVC pipe, knobs, and other removable components that need to coordinate with a known paint color reference.

Because this is a darker, moderately chromatic color, finish and substrate can change the way it reads. Gloss can make the red appear deeper and more defined, while flatter finishes tend to soften the brown cast. Surface prep matters, since scratches, texture, and uneven existing coatings can show through more clearly on sprayed parts. On lighter substrates, careful coat build helps the color develop evenly.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets

How much coverage should I plan for with SW1301 Rouge Red?

Coverage for SW1301 Rouge Red depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are using spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet per unit, but rough or porous surfaces usually require more product and more than one coat.

For ordering, it is safer to plan a little extra if the part is textured, dark, porous, or likely to need multiple coats for even coverage.

Do I need primer before applying SW1301 Rouge Red?

Primer for SW1301 Rouge Red depends on the substrate, surface condition, and the MyPerfectColor product format you are using. Primer is more likely to help on bare, repaired, glossy, porous, or difficult surfaces, and it can improve adhesion and uniformity. It is not always required, so check the prep guidance for the specific product you plan to order.

As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but the right choice still depends on the project.

How do I confirm SW1301 Rouge Red is the right color reference before I order?

Do not rely on a screen image alone to confirm SW1301 Rouge Red. Verify the target color from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another trusted original brand reference before ordering.
