A match of Sherwin Williams SW1454 Water Lily is a muted, medium-depth green with a cool blue-green cast and a restrained, slightly gray character. It reads softer than a bright green and less yellow than an olive, so the color feels calm rather than saturated.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin-Williams color reference can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and cabinet or furniture hardware. Its subdued green tone also works well on small exterior fixtures or utility covers where the finish needs to coordinate without becoming the focal point.
Because the color is moderately deep and muted, sheen and substrate texture can change how green or blue it appears. A glossier finish tends to make the blue-green cast read more clearly, while flatter finishes soften it. On dark, uneven, or previously coated surfaces, proper preparation and enough film build help reduce show-through and color variation; several coats may be needed for even coverage on challenging substrates.

No. The same color reference can read differently once the finish changes, because gloss level changes how much light the surface reflects. A matte finish usually looks less reflective, while a gloss finish can make the same match appear deeper and more reflective. If finish matters to your project, choose the sheen before you order so the result fits the item's use.
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use this page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Check the SDS for the exact format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type.
Choose sheen based on how the part will be used. Lower sheens usually reduce reflectivity and can be more forgiving on surface imperfections, while higher sheens reflect more light and are often easier to clean on many items. Because sheen changes how SW1454 Water Lily reads after application, match the sheen to the object and to nearby finished parts if consistency matters.
MyPerfectColor spray paint can stick well to most plastics, but plastic formulations vary a lot. Test on the actual part first, because some plastics need more prep or a primer to hold up well. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/
Coverage depends on the size of the item, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet. If you are coating rough, porous, or dark surfaces, plan for extra material because those conditions can reduce coverage.
