A match of Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary is a light-to-medium warm beige with a soft yellow-green cast. It reads muted rather than clean, with enough body to feel grounded and enough lightness to avoid looking heavy.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, PVC trim pieces, shelving brackets, railings, mailboxes, frames, and other small hardware that needs to sit quietly against a painted surface. It also works for baskets, knobs, furniture accents, display parts, and removable components where a subdued beige match is easier to coordinate than a brighter finish.
Because this color is relatively low in chroma, it usually covers more predictably than saturated colors, but darker substrates or rough, patchy surfaces can still show through until the coating builds. The warm undertone can read slightly different with sheen and texture, so finish, primer, and film thickness will affect the final result.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary 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 MS198 Estuary based on Martha Stewart color publications.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MS198 Estuary *
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary?
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the color name alone. For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use the SDS page here: Safety Data Sheets.
If you are ordering MS198 Estuary in a different format, check the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product type before use.
Can I use MS198 Estuary in spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor items?
Yes. A match of Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small projects like baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, and similar items where you want the object matched to that brand color.
For the best result, prepare the surface for the material you are painting and use light, even spray coats so the color builds uniformly.
How can lighting change how MS198 Estuary looks after I apply a MyPerfectColor match?
Even when the MyPerfectColor match to MS198 Estuary is correct, the finished item can read differently after application because of lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. That is normal and does not mean the color reference was wrong.
If the item will sit beside existing painted surfaces, review the match in the actual location and under the lighting where it will be used before you order for a high-visibility part.
What spray technique works best for MS198 Estuary to avoid runs or uneven color?
Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MS198 Estuary. Keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and avoid heavy passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or muddy color build.
If coverage is building slowly, add more light coats rather than trying to cover in one wet coat. Follow the product directions for dry time between coats.
How do I confirm MS198 Estuary is the right color before ordering?
Confirm the target color from a physical Martha Stewart swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the original color needs to be verified before you place the order.
If you are matching an existing part, make sure that part is the reference you want to reproduce, since aging, sheen, and substrate can affect how an older surface appears.

We use our materials (pigments and base paints) to create our own formulas for Martha Stewart colors.

Can I buy Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary locally?
You would have to ask around locally. MyPerfectColor can make and ship the Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary in a variety of paint types, but we are not able to comment on what other suppliers can provide. MyPerfectColor is not just working off a formula in a database - we compare every batch against the original color to verify the color accuracy.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS198 Estuary, 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.
