Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1023 Ermine *

Confirm SW1023 Ermine from a physical color reference from Sherwin Williams or a known existing sample, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches its own paint to that brand color reference, so the first ordering step is verifying that SW1023 Ermine is the exact target color you want.

This matters whether you are ordering spray paint for a grille, pipe, trim piece, fixture, or another removable part. If you are unsure about the reference, verify it before selecting product type or sheen.

Custom-made color matches are typically not returnable or refundable, so confirm SW1023 Ermine, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before ordering. That is especially important when you are matching a fixed color reference for a project like vents, pipe, hardware, or other parts where the coating needs to be right the first time.

If you need a different format, make that choice before checkout. The color reference does not tell you the product format or finish, and those decisions affect whether the item is usable for your project.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW1023 Ermine color name by itself. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering and review the SDS for that exact paint format.

If you are choosing between spray paint and another MyPerfectColor format, check the SDS after you have selected the product, since the safety document follows the material you buy rather than the Sherwin Williams color reference alone.

Finish changes how SW1023 Ermine reads on the finished item because gloss level changes reflectivity and perceived color. A matched color in a higher gloss finish can look different from the same color in a flatter finish, even when the color match itself is correct.

For best planning, choose the finish based on the part and its use, then expect the appearance to shift with substrate texture, film build, and lighting. That matters on items like fixtures, grilles, brackets, and other spray-coated parts.

Choose the sheen for SW1023 Ermine based on the part's use, the amount of reflectivity you want, cleanup needs, and expected wear. Lower sheen usually hides surface variation better, while higher sheen can make the coating easier to wipe and more reflective. The best choice depends on the item, not just the color name.

For example, spray paint for vents, pipe, railings, hardware, or other small parts may need a different finish than a low-use accessory or a part that will be handled often. If the part will see more wear, the finish decision is part of the ordering decision.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1023 Ermine, 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.
