A match of Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame is a muted green with a clear gray cast and a light olive undertone. It reads medium-deep rather than bright, so the color feels restrained, earthy, and slightly softened rather than crisp or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MS296 Edamame is well suited to vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, mailboxes, railings, downspouts, PVC trim pieces, and other small parts that need a coordinated green finish. It can also be used on frames, hardware, baskets, cabinet pulls, and removable accessories where spray application is practical and an even coat is easier to achieve than with a brush.

Because this is a muted color, it generally covers more smoothly than a very vivid green, but the final look still depends on substrate color, texture, and film build. Thin coverage over dark or uneven surfaces may let contrast show through, and sheen can change how much the gray or olive undertone is visible. On smooth metal or plastic, the color often reads a little cleaner; on rougher surfaces it can look softer and more subdued.

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 MS296 Edamame is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MS296 Edamame so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame 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 MS296 Edamame 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™ MS296 Edamame *

How long does MyPerfectColor Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat after about 1 to 2 hours. Even when it feels dry, the coating is not fully cured yet, so handle the part carefully until it has had about 2 weeks to fully cure.

Which finish should I choose for Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform. A higher gloss finish reflects more light, is usually easier to clean, and can make the color read differently on the finished item. A flatter finish reduces shine, but it may be less wipeable and can show a different look for the same MS296 Edamame match. If you need the new coating to coordinate with an existing painted part, match the sheen as closely as you can, not just the color.

Why can Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame look different after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

After application, Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame can read differently because of lighting, placement, sheen, surface texture, and nearby materials. The same MyPerfectColor match can look slightly different on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated surface. If the finish has to line up with an existing part, check the result in the actual lighting where the item will be used and on the same type of substrate whenever possible.

How much Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces may need more material. For Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame, plan for extra coverage if you are changing from a darker color or coating a textured part that may take more than one coat.

How do I confirm Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame from a physical swatch or a known existing painted reference whenever you can. Screen viewing alone can shift the color and make the target harder to verify. The MS296 Edamame code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen, product line, or the condition of an aged surface. Once you know MS296 Edamame is the correct reference, order the MyPerfectColor match in the format that fits your project.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS296 Edamame, 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.
