A match of Sherwin Williams SW6966 Blueblood reads as a deep, cool blue with a subtle violet lean. With a low LRV, it stays quite dark, while the moderate chroma keeps it from looking flat or blackened. In MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color, it presents as a saturated dark blue for parts and surfaces that need a defined color match.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6966 Blueblood is a practical choice for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, handrails, mailbox parts, shutters, conduit, and other small pieces where a dark blue reference needs to be carried onto a separate object. It can also be used on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated items after proper preparation, which makes it useful for removable components, retrofit parts, and accessories with awkward shapes.
Because this is a dark, saturated color, surface prep and finish can change the way it reads. Dark blues tend to show sanding marks, texture, and sheen differences more readily, and lighter or uneven substrates may need additional coats for even color build. Applying several light coats usually gives a more consistent result than one heavy pass.

Confirm SW6966 Blueblood from a physical swatch, fan deck, or a known existing painted reference rather than from a phone or monitor. MyPerfectColor makes a match to the selected brand color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product, so the target color needs to be identified before you order. This is especially important if you are matching a specific existing part, because screen color and the actual reference can differ.
Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW6966 Blueblood can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, and other small items where spray application is practical. For the best result, clean the item well, prep the surface for the material you are painting, and use several light coats instead of one heavy coat.
If the object is plastic, metal, wood, or already coated, the prep steps and primer needs can change the outcome, so it is worth checking the surface before ordering.
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface 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, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces can use more paint. If you are painting several pieces in SW6966 Blueblood, plan for extra material if the substrate is uneven or if you expect to apply more than one coat.
For larger wall or trim projects, other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but spray paint is generally better for smaller parts and accessories.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Sherwin Williams color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for a MyPerfectColor match of SW6966 Blueblood, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
If you are reviewing safety information before purchase, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the MyPerfectColor chemistry you will actually receive.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the coated surface to perform. Lower gloss finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can hide surface texture better, while higher gloss finishes are typically easier to clean and can feel more durable on some items. The same SW6966 Blueblood color can look different as the finish changes, so the sheen matters as much as the color match.
If you are coating a removable part, fixture, or accessory, match the finish to the application rather than assuming the color alone will control the final appearance.

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.

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.
