A match of Sherwin Williams SW1224 Blackened Blue is a very dark blue with a strong charcoal influence and low chroma. It reads more subdued than clear or vivid blue, with a cool undertone and a restrained, nearly blue-black appearance at a distance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts and details where a dark blue-gray finish is needed, such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, PVC trim, and metal hardware. It is also useful for fixtures, cabinet pulls, frames, shelving components, and other sprayable pieces that need a consistent dark blue appearance without a bright color shift.
Because this is a very dark color with an LRV of 4.29, surface preparation and sheen choice can affect the final result noticeably. Dark colors can make texture, scratches, and uneven film build more visible, and a lighter or uneven substrate may need additional coats for even color depth. Finish and material type can also change how much of the blue cast shows versus the charcoal cast.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1224 Blackened Blue can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor custom-matched product, but you should confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before placing the order. Custom color orders are made to order and are not returnable or refundable, so verifying those details first helps avoid ordering the wrong version of the color.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1224 Blackened Blue is practical for small or awkward parts such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other items that are difficult to coat evenly with a brush. It is also useful when you want a removable part or small component to coordinate with a larger painted area using the same color reference.
Before applying SW1224 Blackened Blue over metal or an existing coating, clean the surface well, remove oil, dirt, and other contamination, and scuff the surface so the new coating can bond. Check for rust, loose paint, or damaged areas before spraying. The gloss, texture, and condition of the old coating can change how the finished color reads, so a match on a worn surface may not look the same as a full repaint.
Coverage for SW1224 Blackened Blue depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or irregular, plan for extra material so you do not run short.
For a smoother result with SW1224 Blackened Blue, use light, even passes instead of one heavy coat. Keep the spray distance consistent, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in one spot so you do not create runs, uneven sheen, or heavy color build. Apply additional coats only after the previous coat has flashed or dried according to the product instructions.
