Match of Martha Stewart™ MS273 Shamrock *

Yes, but metal and existing coatings need more prep than a new, clean substrate. Clean off dirt, oils, chalk, and any rust or loose paint, then scuff the surface so the new coating can bond. If the old finish is glossy or uneven, that can change how MS273 Shamrock reads after application.

If you are coating a part that stays next to an older painted area, test on the actual surface first. The condition, texture, and sheen of the existing coating can affect the final look even when the color match is correct.

Yes. A match of Martha Stewart MS273 Shamrock is available as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, and it can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Because low-energy plastics can be difficult, the safest approach is to test on the actual part before coating the full item.

MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is smooth, flexible, or especially hard to coat. If the plastic is unfamiliar, prep and a test panel are important before ordering the full quantity.

No. The same match of MS273 Shamrock can look different after application in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. The color reference is the same, but the visual result is not identical across sheens.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, choose the finish that best fits the project conditions and expect sheen to affect the way the color reads on the finished part. For ordering, decide on both the color reference and the finish you want before you buy.

The SDS is tied to the exact MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not to the MS273 Shamrock color name by itself. To get the right document, look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you are purchasing.

For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and match it to the product type you plan to buy. If you are ordering spray paint, make sure the SDS matches that spray-paint product rather than only the color reference.

Yes. MS273 Shamrock in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is a practical choice for baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, and other small items where you want the object to coordinate to a known color reference. Spray application works well when the part is small, detailed, or awkward to brush.

For these projects, the main decision is whether you want the item matched to the MS273 Shamrock reference in spray form and whether the substrate has been prepped correctly. If the piece is metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated, surface prep can change how the finished color looks and lasts.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS273 Shamrock 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 MS273 Shamrock, 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.
