Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Martha Stewart MS201 Slate Quarry reads as a muted cool gray with a slight blue undertone. The low chroma keeps it quiet rather than vivid, and the medium depth gives it enough body to look solid without pushing into a dark charcoal range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is a practical choice for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, metal brackets, shelving supports, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, and hardware where a subdued blue-gray finish is needed on small or awkward surfaces. It can also be used on frames, access panels, baskets, and other removable parts that need a consistent match to an existing color reference.

Because this is a muted color, it often covers more predictably than a highly saturated shade, but the final look still depends on the substrate, prep, and film build. Dark plastic, patchy metal, or textured surfaces may need a uniform primer and additional coats to keep the color reading even, and sheen differences can make the blue cast appear slightly stronger or weaker.

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 MS201 Slate Quarry is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MS201 Slate Quarry so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS201 Slate Quarry 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 MS201 Slate Quarry 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™ MS201 Slate Quarry *

Where can I find the SDS for MS201 Slate Quarry from Martha Stewart?

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the brand color name alone. For MS201 Slate Quarry, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm for the SDS that applies to the product you plan to order.

How long does MS201 Slate Quarry spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle?

For MS201 Slate Quarry in spray paint, dry to touch is usually within minutes, recoat is typically in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. If you are planning multiple coats, treat dry to touch and fully cured as different milestones and do not assume the part is ready for heavy handling as soon as it feels dry.

How should I confirm MS201 Slate Quarry before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm MS201 Slate Quarry from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original Martha Stewart palette before you order. Screen images can shift, and MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before purchase.

Yes. A match of Martha Stewart MS201 Slate Quarry can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and accessories such as baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, and similar items where spray application is practical. For the best result, use proper surface preparation for the material you are coating, since the final appearance depends on the substrate and prep as well as the color match.

How much MS201 Slate Quarry spray paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hide, application method, and how many coats you need. As a planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are ordering a brush-on paint format instead, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and the number of coats.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS201 Slate Quarry in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS201 Slate Quarry, 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.
