Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6901 Daffodil *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name. A flatter sheen usually hides surface flaws better, while a glossier sheen is typically easier to wipe clean and will reflect more light. Because sheen changes how SW6901 Daffodil reads on the finished item, the same color match can look different in flat, satin, or gloss.

MyPerfectColor can make a match of SW6901 Daffodil in spray paint and other formats, so pick the product and sheen that fit the object you are painting, such as a vent, fixture, trim piece, or removable component.

Lighting can make SW6901 Daffodil look different after it is applied, even when the color match is correct. Direct sun, shade, warm indoor light, cool indoor light, and reflected light from nearby surfaces can all change how the finished piece reads.

Sheen, texture, and the substrate also matter. A match of SW6901 Daffodil on a smooth metal part may read differently than the same match on plastic, wood, or a previously coated surface. If the item will sit next to an existing painted area, a test on the actual surface is the safest way to reduce surprise after application.

Custom-made orders matched to SW6901 Daffodil should be chosen carefully because they are made to your selected color reference, product type, and sheen. If those details are wrong, the order may not be usable for your project.

Before ordering, confirm that SW6901 Daffodil is the correct target color, then verify the MyPerfectColor product format, sheen, and quantity. Custom color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to check those choices before you place the order.

Confirm SW6901 Daffodil from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference rather than from a screen alone. Screen viewing can shift the color, and the code by itself does not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface has aged.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard for SW6901 Daffodil, so the best way to reduce ordering risk is to verify that the reference you are using is the color you want matched. Once that is confirmed, you can choose the product format that fits the job.

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface so the coating can bond properly. If the surface is glossy or already coated, light scuffing may help where appropriate. Mask off areas you do not want painted and make sure the part is dry before spraying a match of SW6901 Daffodil.

Testing on the actual surface is a good idea before doing the full item, especially on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts. Good prep helps the color apply more evenly and lowers the risk of adhesion problems or uneven appearance.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6901 Daffodil, 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.
