A match of Sherwin Williams SW1480 Lyric Blue reads as a very light blue-green with a soft, quiet character. The low chroma keeps it from looking bright, while the high lightness gives it an airy, pale appearance that can read slightly cooler or softer depending on the surface and finish.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1480 Lyric Blue can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, access panels, handrail brackets, shelf brackets, mailboxes, small frames, PVC trim pieces, and similar parts that are easier to spray than brush. It is also a practical choice for hardware, fixtures, furniture accents, and other removable items where a pale coordinated color is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a very light, low-chroma color, dark or uneven substrates may show through more readily and may need additional coats for even coverage. Surface texture, primer choice, and film build can all change how soft or clear the color appears, so results may shift from one substrate to another. If the part will sit beside an existing painted surface, differences in sheen, age, or material can become more noticeable than with a deeper color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1480 Lyric Blue *

Where do I find the SDS for SW1480 Lyric Blue from MyPerfectColor?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the Sherwin Williams color name by itself. For SW1480 Lyric Blue, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need the SDS for a specific MyPerfectColor format, make sure the sheet matches the exact product you plan to order.

What should I confirm before ordering SW1480 Lyric Blue from MyPerfectColor?

Before ordering SW1480 Lyric Blue, confirm the Sherwin Williams color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Those details determine whether you are ordering the right custom match for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the order details before you buy.

How should I prep a surface before using SW1480 Lyric Blue?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing dirt, wax, and oils, and degreasing where needed. Light scuffing can help on suitable surfaces, and masking nearby areas reduces overspray or edge issues.

Because SW1480 Lyric Blue may be used on items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, hardware, or other small parts, it is a good idea to test on the actual surface before coating the full item. Different materials and older coatings can change how the finish looks and adheres.

How much SW1480 Lyric Blue paint do I need for my project?

Estimate coverage from the actual area, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats you expect to apply. The color name alone does not determine coverage.

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces can use more material. If you are coating a larger part or several pieces in SW1480 Lyric Blue, plan for extra paint if you expect more than one coat.

Can SW1480 Lyric Blue be used on plastic parts?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1480 Lyric Blue can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so adhesion depends on the exact material and surface prep. A test on the actual part is the safest way to confirm results.

If the plastic is difficult or low-energy, using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. That matters for parts like housings, covers, brackets, or other removable pieces where the final bond is important.
