A match of Martha Stewart MS025 French Bullldog Black is a very dark near-black with extremely low chroma and a slight cool cast. It reads as a restrained charcoal-black rather than a warm black, and its low LRV means it will look deep and dense on a finished surface.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, metal brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, shutter hardware, small furniture parts, and other removable pieces where a subdued black finish is needed. It can also be useful on PVC trim details, access covers, sign components, and appliance-adjacent accessories when you want a dark neutral part to blend with other painted equipment.

Because this color is so dark, surface condition and sheen can be easy to notice, especially on smooth or glossy parts. A lighter or uneven substrate may need extra coat build for even coverage, and the final appearance can shift with film thickness, finish, and the material underneath. On exterior parts, the dark surface can also show wear or fading changes more readily than a mid-tone if it gets strong sun exposure.

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 MS025 French Bullldog Black is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MS025 French Bullldog Black so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS025 French Bullldog Black 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 MS025 French Bullldog Black 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MS025 French Bullldog Black *

Can I use MS025 French Bullldog Black on plastic parts, and should I test first?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MS025 French Bullldog Black can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test on the actual item first if the part is a low-energy plastic, flexible plastic, or a surface you cannot easily redo.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. A primer test is especially useful when the piece has an unusual plastic type or a smooth molded finish.

How do I confirm MS025 French Bullldog Black before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm MS025 French Bullldog Black from a physical swatch, a known existing reference, or another trusted original-brand color reference before you order. Do not rely on a screen view alone, because monitors and phone displays can shift how the color appears.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the order is based on the target color standard you approve, not on an on-screen impression of the color name.

What prep should I do before painting metal with MS025 French Bullldog Black?

Before applying a match of MS025 French Bullldog Black to metal, clean the surface, remove rust or contamination, and scuff the existing coating if one is already there. Any loose, peeling, or failing coating should be addressed first.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how the finished color looks, so a well-prepared test area is the safest way to judge the result on your specific part.

Where can I find the SDS for MS025 French Bullldog Black MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the color name alone. If you are ordering MS025 French Bullldog Black, check the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product format you plan to buy.

If you need the SDS document before ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and look up the product format from there.

How do I choose a finish for MS025 French Bullldog Black when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. With MS025 French Bullldog Black, the sheen affects reflectivity, cleanup, durability, and how the matched color reads on the finished surface.

If the item needs a specific look or needs to coordinate with an existing coated part, the finish choice matters as much as the color match. The same color can appear different in a flat, satin, or glossier finish.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS025 French Bullldog Black in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS025 French Bullldog Black, 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.
