Match of Martha Stewart™ MS318 Araucana Green *

MyPerfectColor can supply a match of MS318 Araucana Green in spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot and some are harder to coat than others. Test on the actual part first if possible, because different plastics and surface finishes can change adhesion and final appearance.

For better adhesion on difficult plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the topcoat. Clean the part well, remove release agents or contamination, and use primer especially on items like PVC trim, grilles, covers, bins, or small fixtures where long-term adhesion matters.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the MS318 Araucana Green color name by itself. To get the right document, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another paint type.

If you change the product format, confirm the SDS again rather than assuming the same document applies to every version of the color match.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, color underneath, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.

For MS318 Araucana Green, plan extra material if you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, or if the part needs multiple coats for even color. Measuring the actual area before ordering is the safest way to avoid running short.

For metal, start with a clean, dry surface and remove rust, loose coating, grease, and other contamination before applying a match of MS318 Araucana Green. If the surface is smooth or glossy, scuffing it first can help the new coating grip better.

If you are painting over an existing coating, check that the old finish is sound. Peeling, chalky, or incompatible coatings can affect adhesion and can also change how MS318 Araucana Green looks once applied. The condition of the old surface matters as much as the new color match.

Sheen affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how the matched color reads on the finished item. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe down, but it can also show surface flaws and make MS318 Araucana Green appear differently than a flatter finish.

If the part will be handled often, cleaned frequently, or used outdoors, choose the sheen based on performance needs first. If the item has texture, repairs, or visible imperfections, a lower sheen may hide them better while still giving you a match of MS318 Araucana Green.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS318 Araucana Green 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 MS318 Araucana Green, 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.
