Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2823 Rookwood Clay *

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much sheen you want on the finished item. A flatter finish will reduce reflection and can hide small surface flaws better, while satin or semi-gloss will be easier to wipe clean and is often better for trim, hardware, railings, vents, and other handled parts.

Keep in mind that the same color SW2823 Rookwood Clay will look different as the gloss level changes. If you want the color to read more quietly, choose a lower sheen. If you need easier cleaning or a more reflective look, choose a higher sheen.

Confirm SW2823 Rookwood Clay from a physical color reference whenever possible, such as an original Sherwin Williams swatch or a known existing painted item. Screen viewing alone is not a reliable way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a match to the selected brand color reference, so it is important to verify the exact target before ordering. If you are matching an existing surface, remember that aging, sheen, and texture can change how the color looks in place.

For SW2823 Rookwood Clay in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, dry-to-touch is usually within minutes, recoating is generally in one to two hours, and full curing takes about two weeks.

Those are different stages. Dry to touch does not mean the coating is fully cured or ready for hard use. If you are painting parts such as vents, covers, pipe, hardware, or small fixtures, plan for light handling first and allow extra time before heavy installation or service.

Custom-made SW2823 Rookwood Clay orders should be checked carefully before you buy, because they are made to your selected color reference and product options. Confirm the color, product type, sheen, and quantity before placing the order.

Because these are custom matched items, they are not returnable or refundable. If there is any chance the target color is off, verify it from a physical swatch or a known existing reference before ordering.

Yes, SW2823 Rookwood Clay in MyPerfectColor spray paint can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot and surface prep matters. Test on the actual part whenever possible, especially on low-energy or flexible plastics.

Clean the surface well and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion on difficult substrates. This is especially important for items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, covers, and other removable parts where spray application is practical.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW2823 Rookwood Clay, 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.
