A match of Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon reads as a warm, medium-depth coral-orange with a clear red cast. It has enough chroma to feel vivid, but the color is not overly bright; the red-brown undertone keeps it grounded. The LRV suggests a noticeably deeper color rather than a pale tint.

This is a practical spray color for smaller parts and finished details such as mailbox doors, metal brackets, handrail sections, shelf supports, lamp parts, cabinet pulls, switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, and decorative hardware. It can also be used on painted PVC trim pieces, frames, planters, and maker projects where a warm orange-red reference needs to be carried onto removable or mixed-material parts.

Because the color is moderately saturated and not especially light, coverage is usually more forgiving than with a pale shade, but dark or uneven substrates can still show through and may need extra coats. Finish and surface texture will affect the final read: smooth metal can make the color look deeper and cleaner, while rough or porous surfaces can soften it. On exterior parts, this type of warm accent color can be more sensitive to fading than quieter neutrals, so proper prep and film build matter.

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 MS031 Persimmon is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MS031 Persimmon so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon 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 MS031 Persimmon 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™ MS031 Persimmon *

Can MS031 Persimmon be matched in MyPerfectColor paint for metal or an existing coated surface?

Yes, but surface condition matters. For metal or an older coating, clean off grease, dirt, rust, chalking, and any loose paint before you apply a match of MS031 Persimmon. Lightly scuffing the surface also helps the new coating bond.

The finish and texture of the old coating can change how MS031 Persimmon reads after it dries, even when the color match itself is correct. If the part will sit next to an existing painted area, test the match on the actual surface first so you can see how the old coating, sheen, and substrate affect the result.

Will MS031 Persimmon work on plastic if I order MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Plastics vary a lot, so the safe approach is to test MS031 Persimmon on the exact plastic before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can improve when you use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel first.

If the plastic is slick, flexible, or unknown, a primer and a test panel are the best way to reduce the risk of peeling or poor adhesion. That is especially important for parts such as trim pieces, covers, housings, or other items that need to stay coated after handling.

Where can I find the SDS for MS031 Persimmon MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the MS031 Persimmon color name by itself. If you need the safety information, use the SDS for the exact paint format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product line.

You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.

Can MS031 Persimmon be ordered for spray-paint projects like baskets, frames, or decor pieces?

Yes. A match of Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon is a practical choice when you want MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to a known color for items such as baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, knobs, furniture accents, and other small decor pieces.

Spray paint is usually the easiest option when the item has edges, corners, or details that are hard to brush evenly. Make sure the piece is clean and properly prepared so the match of MS031 Persimmon goes on uniformly and dries as expected.

How do I choose a sheen for MS031 Persimmon when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on the job, not just the color name. A match of Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon will look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes reflectivity, cleanup, durability, and how the color reads on the final item.

If the part will be handled often or needs easier cleaning, a higher sheen may make sense. If you want less shine on the finished surface, a lower sheen may fit better. The same MS031 Persimmon match can look noticeably different from one sheen to another, so match the finish to the application before you order.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon depends on the type of paint needed.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS031 Persimmon, 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.
