Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap is a muted lavender with a cool lean and a clear gray cast. It reads soft rather than vivid, with moderate depth and low chroma, so it feels restrained instead of bright or sugary. On a painted object, it can appear slightly cooler or more subdued depending on sheen and surface texture.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MS020 Lavender Soap is well suited to small parts and accessories that need a coordinated finish without drawing too much attention. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving, picture frames, cabinet hardware, mailboxes, railings, PVC trim pieces, and fixture parts. The color also works on baskets, lamps, small furniture accents, and other sprayable items where a muted lavender-gray is the target.

Because this color is low in chroma, it usually does not behave like a highly vivid color, but final appearance still depends on the substrate, prep, and finish. Dark or uneven surfaces can change how quickly it covers and may affect how cool or gray it reads. On glossy parts, the sheen can make the color look a little cleaner; on textured surfaces, it may read softer and slightly darker.

For best ordering accuracy, treat this as a MyPerfectColor match to the selected brand color reference rather than the original brand product. The same color can shift with lighting, sheen, and film build, so those factors matter when the paint will be used on a visible replacement part or a component that sits beside existing painted surfaces.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MS020 Lavender Soap so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact us and one of our expert staff would be happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MS020 Lavender Soap *

Where do I find the SDS for MS020 Lavender Soap from Martha Stewart?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the brand color name by itself. For MS020 Lavender Soap, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact format you plan to order, especially if you are comparing spray paint to another product type.

Can MS020 Lavender Soap be used on plastic, and do I need primer?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MS020 Lavender Soap can adhere well to many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so a test on the actual part is the safest first step. For smoother or harder-to-bond plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel to improve adhesion before spraying the final color.

If the item is a low-energy surface or an unfamiliar plastic, test a small area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the whole part.

How do I choose a finish for MS020 Lavender Soap when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, because sheen changes both durability and how MS020 Lavender Soap looks on the finished surface. A higher-gloss finish is more reflective, while a lower-sheen finish reduces reflection and can look less shiny on the part.

If the item will be handled or cleaned often, prioritize the finish that fits the use. If you are matching a nearby painted part, pick the sheen that best matches that existing surface, since the same color can read differently in different finishes.

How do I confirm MS020 Lavender Soap is the right color before I order a match?

Confirm MS020 Lavender Soap from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable original brand reference before ordering. Do not rely on screen color alone, since monitors can shift the look of the color.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the goal is to verify that MS020 Lavender Soap is the target you want before you place the order.

What projects are a good fit for MS020 Lavender Soap custom spray paint?

MS020 Lavender Soap custom spray paint is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small parts that are awkward to coat with a brush. It is also practical for removable components that need to coordinate with an existing painted environment.

When you need a repeatable match of MS020 Lavender Soap on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is often the most efficient format to order.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS020 Lavender Soap, 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.
