Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1738 Watercolor *

Confirm SW1738 Watercolor from a physical paint swatch, an existing painted part, or another known brand color reference before you order. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not the best way to approve a match.

MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference. If you are trying to reproduce SW1738 Watercolor on a project, make sure the reference you are using is the exact color you want before placing the order.

Clean the surface first, then remove loose material, rust, grease, dust, or other contamination before coating with a MyPerfectColor match of SW1738 Watercolor. If the part already has paint on it, scuffing can help the new coating bond better.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, wear, and uneven buildup can all affect how SW1738 Watercolor looks after it is applied, so a clean and properly prepared surface helps reduce surprises.

If you are ordering SW1738 Watercolor in a finish option, the sheen changes how much light the surface reflects and therefore how the color reads after application. Higher sheen usually looks more reflective, while lower sheen reduces reflection.

That means the same MyPerfectColor match of SW1738 Watercolor can look different on the finished item depending on finish, substrate, and surface texture. Choose the finish based on the appearance you need for the part, not just the color name.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1738 Watercolor, 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.
