A match of Sherwin Williams SW1189 Black Hills reads as a deep, muted green with a gray cast and a slight yellow warmth. It is low in chroma, so the color looks restrained rather than bright, and its dark value gives it a grounded, subdued presence on finished parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1189 Black Hills can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, and hardware where a dark green-gray needs to be carried across small or removable parts. It is also a practical choice for painted PVC, metal fixtures, shelving supports, frames, and furniture accents when the goal is a coordinated finish on sprayable surfaces.

Because this is a dark, muted color, the final appearance can shift with sheen, substrate texture, and film build. Surface prep matters, and darker or uneven substrates may still show through if the coating is applied too lightly. On exterior parts, the subdued chroma is generally less demanding than a vivid color, but coverage and finish consistency still affect how the color reads.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1189 Black Hills *

How do I confirm SW1189 Black Hills is the right reference before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm SW1189 Black Hills from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch, fan deck, or a known existing painted sample rather than from a phone or monitor view. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color reference, so the key purchase decision is whether you have the correct target color.

If you are matching an existing surface, remember that aging, sheen, and substrate differences can make the same color read differently. Verify the reference before you place the order.

How much MyPerfectColor custom spray paint do I need for SW1189 Black Hills?

Coverage for SW1189 Black Hills depends on the size of the item, surface texture, prep, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

If the surface is porous, uneven, or a darker color needs better hiding, plan for additional material. It is usually safer to order a little extra than to come up short during the project.

Can SW1189 Black Hills be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for trim, vents, or hardware?

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1189 Black Hills is a practical match for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when you need to coat small or awkward items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, or similar parts.
