A match of Sherwin Williams SW1245 Embassy Blue is a deep blue with a low-chroma, slightly gray-cast character and a cool violet undertone. It reads as a quiet dark blue rather than a bright navy, with an LRV of 5.48 that places it firmly in the low-light range.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small metal or plastic parts where a darker blue needs to look consistent across separate components. Common uses include HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, shutter accessories, shelf supports, and other trim pieces or fixtures that are easier to spray than brush.
Because this is a dark, muted color, finish and surface prep will affect the final read. Glossy surfaces can make scratches, texture, and film-build differences more noticeable, while uneven substrates may shift the apparent depth of the blue. Over lighter or worn bases, coverage may take more than one coat, and a part installed beside an existing painted surface can show differences in aging or sheen even when the color match itself is correct.

Custom-made color orders for SW1245 Embassy Blue should be checked carefully before purchase because they are made for your project and are not returnable or refundable.
Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need so you do not end up with a mismatch for the job.
Confirm SW1245 Embassy Blue from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone.
MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the actual target color you want reproduced. If the part will sit next to an existing surface, check the reference under similar lighting before you order.
For metal or an existing coating, clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination first, then remove rust and scuff any sound glossy surface so the new coating can bond properly.
The condition of the old coating, including gloss and texture, can affect how SW1245 Embassy Blue looks after application. If the existing finish is failing, damaged, or unknown, address that before ordering or painting.
The same match of SW1245 Embassy Blue can look different depending on sheen. A flatter finish reflects less light, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the color read differently on edges, curves, or textured parts.
If the item will be seen in close range, treat finish as part of the order decision, not just the color name.
Choose the sheen for how the part will be used and cleaned. Higher sheen is usually easier to wipe down and gives more reflectivity, while lower sheen is often more forgiving on surface imperfections.
For a match of SW1245 Embassy Blue, the finish you choose affects the final result as much as the color match itself, so confirm both before ordering MyPerfectColor paint.
