A match of Martha Stewart MS229 Great Blue Heron reads as a light, cool blue with a gray cast and low saturation. It is not a clear or vivid blue; the color leans soft and subdued, with a blue-gray character that can look slightly more muted depending on sheen and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful for small parts that need a restrained blue finish, such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, cabinet pulls, metal frames, shelf brackets, mailboxes, railings, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be used on baskets, hardware, and removable fixtures where a repeatable color match matters more than the original brand label.
Because this is a fairly light, low-chroma color, surface preparation and the color underneath can affect the final result. Darker or uneven substrates may take extra coats to cover evenly, while a smoother finish will usually make the blue-gray read cleaner. Finish, film build, and texture can all shift how muted or blue the color appears.

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™ MS229 Great Blue Heron *
What sheen should I choose for MS229 Great Blue Heron if I want the best finish for my project?
The sheen you choose changes both the look and the performance of MS229 Great Blue Heron. Lower sheens hide surface flaws better, while higher sheens are usually easier to clean and can feel more durable on handled items.
If you are matching an existing part, choose the sheen that best fits the original surface or the surrounding finish. MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color in the format and sheen you order, so the finish choice matters as much as the color reference.
How long should I wait after applying MS229 Great Blue Heron spray paint before recoating or handling it?
For MS229 Great Blue Heron in spray paint, expect it to be dry to touch within minutes, ready for recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.
Light coats help the finish dry more evenly. Even if it feels dry early, handle the part carefully until the coating has had time to fully cure, especially on pieces that will be moved, stacked, or reinstalled.
Will MS229 Great Blue Heron look the same after I apply it to my shelf, vent, or cover?
A match of Martha Stewart MS229 Great Blue Heron can look different after application depending on lighting, sheen, texture, and what is next to it. A correct color match can still read a little lighter, darker, or cooler once it is on the finished item.
This matters most on parts that sit beside existing painted surfaces or in strong natural or artificial light. If the project is sensitive, check the finished color in the same location and under the same lighting where it will be used.
How do I confirm the right MS229 Great Blue Heron reference before I order a match?
Confirm MS229 Great Blue Heron from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before ordering.
If you are matching an older painted surface, remember that aging, wear, and past touch-ups can make the existing item differ from the original MS229 Great Blue Heron standard.
Can MS229 Great Blue Heron be ordered in spray paint for baskets, frames, vents, or other small parts?
Yes. A match of Martha Stewart MS229 Great Blue Heron can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color, which is practical for baskets, frames, shelving, hardware, vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, and similar items.
For the best result, make sure the part is clean and properly prepared for the substrate you are painting. Spray paint is often a good choice when the goal is to coordinate a removable or hard-to-brush object to a known color reference.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS229 Great Blue Heron in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS229 Great Blue Heron, 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.
