A match of Sherwin Williams SW7674 Peppercorn reads as a very dark charcoal gray with a restrained, near-neutral cast. The low chroma keeps it muted rather than colorful, and the low LRV makes it sit close to black while still reading as gray. In MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, it is a practical match when you want a deep, subdued color for a part or component rather than a lighter gray.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on HVAC vents, return grilles, switch covers, speaker grilles, door hardware, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and other sprayable parts that need a dark, coordinated finish. It also works on baskets, frames, shelving, and small fixtures where a low-key charcoal appearance is the goal.
Because this color is so dark, substrate color and surface prep can influence the final read. Light-colored plastic or metal may show through more readily at edges or thin spots, and sheen differences can stand out on smooth parts. Light, even coats usually build a more consistent finish than one heavy coat, especially on detailed or textured pieces.

The color target stays SW7674 Peppercorn, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Matte, satin, and gloss reflect light differently, so the same matched color can look deeper, softer, or more reflective on the finished item.
If you need the result to coordinate with an existing surface, choose the sheen carefully because finish can be just as important as the color match itself.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW7674 Peppercorn color name by itself. To get the correct document, use the Safety Data Sheets information for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.
If you are reviewing SW7674 Peppercorn for a project, make sure the SDS matches the product format you are buying, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor option.
Primer may be needed depending on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type. Bare, glossy, repaired, or difficult surfaces often benefit from primer, while some prepared surfaces may not need it.
A good rule of thumb is that primer usually does not hurt and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering for SW7674 Peppercorn.
For spray paint, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full handling are different stages. A typical spray paint timeline is dry to touch within minutes, ready for recoating in one to two hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.
Use those times as a planning guide for SW7674 Peppercorn, especially if the part will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after painting.
Custom-made color matches should be ordered carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before checkout, confirm that SW7674 Peppercorn is the correct reference, along with the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity.
This is especially important for custom orders where the wrong finish or format would not be a simple stock-item exchange.
