Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue is a muted, cool blue with a gray cast and a slight green-blue undertone. It reads medium-deep rather than bright, so the color tends to look softened and restrained instead of clear or vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, cabinet hardware, metal brackets, shelving, mailboxes, railings, shutters, and other small parts where sprayed coverage is practical. It is also a useful choice for PVC, trim pieces, baskets, frames, and furniture accents when you want a consistent color on a separate component or material.

Because this is a low-chroma color, it usually behaves differently from a vivid blue. Finish and substrate can change how it reads: smooth, glossy surfaces may make it look a little deeper and cooler, while textured or porous parts can soften it further. Its lower light reflectance can make it appear darker on larger pieces, and a contrasting or uneven base may need additional coats for even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MS305 Shaker Box Blue *

How long does MyPerfectColor MS305 Shaker Box Blue spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle between coats?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure.

Dry to touch, recoat, and full handling are not the same milestone. If the part will be handled, stacked, or reinstalled soon after painting, give it extra time so the coating can harden fully.

How much area can MyPerfectColor MS305 Shaker Box Blue cover in spray paint form?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MS305 Shaker Box Blue covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Actual coverage depends on the surface size, texture, color change, application method, and how many coats you need.

If you are painting rough, porous, or uneven parts, plan for less coverage than a smooth surface. For larger projects, it is safer to estimate the quantity after you account for a second coat and any extra material needed for touch-up or overspray.

Can I return a custom-made match of Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-made MyPerfectColor matches of Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue should be ordered carefully, because custom color orders are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

This is especially important because MyPerfectColor is making a match to the selected brand color reference, not sending the original Martha Stewart paint product. Once the order is made, the wrong sheen or format can be difficult to correct.

How should I confirm Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

The safest way to confirm Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue is from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

The code MS305 identifies the color target, but it does not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface has aged. If your project depends on a specific look, confirm the reference first so you order the right match.

What kinds of projects work well with MyPerfectColor MS305 Shaker Box Blue spray paint?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MS305 Shaker Box Blue is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small parts that are awkward to coat with a brush. It is also practical for removable components that need to match a known paint color reference.

It can be a good fit for items like metal brackets, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, or other coordinated parts, as long as the surface is properly prepared. If the piece will sit next to an existing painted surface, remember that sheen, texture, and substrate can make the finished look read differently even when the color match is correct.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue depends on the type of paint needed.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS305 Shaker Box Blue, 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.
