A match of Sherwin Williams SW1179 Seafoam Green is a very light, muted green with a soft gray cast. The low chroma keeps it restrained, while the slight yellow-green bias gives it a gentle, cool-leaning character rather than a vivid mint or blue green.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on small architectural and hardware parts where a quiet green is needed: HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, PVC trim, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, shelving, frames, and fixture covers. It can also be used on baskets, knobs, and other accessories when a coordinated, low-key finish is the goal.
Because this is a light color, dark or uneven substrates can show through more readily, so prep and coverage matter. Finish and film build can change how soft the color reads, with glossier applications often appearing a bit clearer and more defined. On exterior parts, surface texture and weather exposure can also affect the final appearance, especially on plastic and previously coated items.

MyPerfectColor can match SW1179 Seafoam Green in different finishes, and the sheen you choose affects both durability and how the color reads on the finished part. Lower-sheen finishes usually reduce reflections and can be more forgiving of small surface flaws, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe clean and will make the same color look brighter and more reflective. If the item will sit next to an existing coated surface, choose the sheen that best matches that piece, not just the color reference.
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product, not to SW1179 Seafoam Green by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact paint format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another product type. If you are comparing products, make sure the SDS matches the item in your cart or quote because chemistry can differ by format.
Plastic varies a lot, so SW1179 Seafoam Green may bond differently depending on the exact substrate. MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to stick well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is still the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance. For better adhesion on difficult plastics or high-wear pieces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the color coat.
Because SW1179 Seafoam Green is a custom-matched MyPerfectColor order, confirm the exact color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before you buy. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the best way to avoid a wrong order is to verify the item you need in the finish and size you want before checkout. If you need several parts to match, order them at the same time so the same reference is used for each one.
A match of Sherwin Williams SW1179 Seafoam Green can look different after it is applied depending on lighting, placement, sheen, and the nearby surfaces around it. A match that looks right in one setting can read lighter, darker, or more reflective on the finished item. This matters most on visible parts, curved parts, and pieces installed beside an older painted surface or another material.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1179 Seafoam Green, 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.
