Match of Martha Stewart™ MS147 Abalone Shell *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the MS147 Abalone Shell color name by itself. To review the correct Safety Data Sheet, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not on MS147 Abalone Shell alone. In general, lower-gloss finishes hide surface flaws better and reduce reflection, while higher-gloss finishes are easier to wipe down and can look more reflective on the finished item.

Because gloss changes the way a matched color reads, the same MS147 Abalone Shell match can appear slightly different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. If the part will be handled often, cleaned often, or used outdoors, pick the finish that fits the surface and maintenance needs first, then order the match in that finish.

Confirm MS147 Abalone Shell from a physical swatch, approved sample, or another known brand reference rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the closer your source reference is to the original color standard, the better the ordering decision will be.

If you are matching an existing painted part, remember that aging, sheen changes, and surface texture can make the old part look different from the original MS147 Abalone Shell target. Verify the target color first, then order a MyPerfectColor paint matched to that reference.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so MS147 Abalone Shell builds gradually instead of pooling. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap passes evenly, and avoid heavy passes that can create runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking finish as the color builds.

This matters most on small parts, hardware, grilles, frames, and other objects where the final surface is easy to see up close. If the item is large or has edges and recesses, test your spray pattern first and then apply several controlled coats rather than trying to cover in one heavy pass.

Plastic can be a good use case for a MyPerfectColor match of MS147 Abalone Shell, but plastics vary widely and can be hard to coat evenly. Test on the actual material first if possible, because some plastics need more surface preparation than others.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion when the surface is difficult or low energy. For the best decision, clean the part, follow the recommended prep, and use a primer when the substrate is known to be challenging.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS147 Abalone Shell 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 Martha Stewart MS147 Abalone Shell, 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.
