Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1812 Award Blue *

Custom-matched MyPerfectColor orders should be checked carefully before purchase because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable.

For SW1812 Award Blue, confirm the Sherwin Williams color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. That is the best way to avoid ordering a match that does not fit your project.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to SW1812 Award Blue as a color name alone.

After you choose the product format, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm for the correct SDS information.

Confirm SW1812 Award Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing Sherwin Williams color reference, not from a screen alone.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the most important step is verifying that your target reference is really SW1812 Award Blue before you order.

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of SW1812 Award Blue can look different in different sheens.

Use the finish that fits the item you are coating, and remember that sheen can change the way the color reads on the finished surface even when the color match itself is correct.

Apply light, even coats, keep a consistent spraying distance, and overlap each pass slightly. Avoid heavy passes, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a darker buildup in some areas.

For a match of SW1812 Award Blue, several light coats are usually better than one wet coat, especially when coating parts with edges, corners, or mixed textures.

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 SW1812 Award Blue, 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.
