Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2236 Arcadian *

Confirm SW2236 Arcadian from a physical swatch, fan deck, or another known color reference from the original brand, not from your screen alone. Displays can shift the way the color reads, and MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, not what a monitor shows.

If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted part, verify that part against a known SW2236 Arcadian reference before ordering so you are matching the intended target color, not an aged or altered surface.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW2236 Arcadian can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color, which is useful when brush application is awkward or inefficient.

That format is often a practical choice for trim details, vents, pipes, railings, hardware, fixtures, accessories, and other removable or hard-to-coat parts that need a color match to SW2236 Arcadian.

Plastics vary a lot, so do not assume every plastic will behave the same. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW2236 Arcadian can work well on many plastics, but the actual material, flexibility, and surface finish can affect adhesion.

Clean the part carefully and test on the actual substrate before committing to the full job. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion on challenging plastic surfaces.

For metal or repainted surfaces, start by cleaning off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination. Remove rust and loose material, and scuff the surface so the coating has a sound profile to bond to.

If the old finish is glossy, uneven, or failing, those conditions can affect how SW2236 Arcadian looks after it is sprayed. A stable, properly prepped surface gives you a better chance of an even result than spraying over peeling or dirty coating.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how you want the finished surface to perform. The sheen does not change the color target itself, but it does change how SW2236 Arcadian reads on the object.

Lower sheens usually reduce reflection and can be more forgiving on surface flaws, while higher sheens are more reflective and are often easier to wipe clean. If you need the part to coordinate with an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW2236 Arcadian in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 SW2236 Arcadian, 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.
