Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW7686 Hinoki *

Use a physical swatch from Sherwin Williams or another known existing color reference for SW7686 Hinoki, not a screen image. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so confirming the target color first helps you order the right match.

If you are matching an existing painted part, make sure the part is actually the original SW7686 Hinoki reference and not an aged surface that may have changed over time.

Clean the surface first so dust, wax, oils, and grease do not interfere with adhesion. Let the surface dry fully, scuff glossy areas where appropriate, and mask off anything you do not want coated.

For a spray project matched to SW7686 Hinoki, it is smart to test on the actual surface or a hidden area before you coat the full item. That matters most on plastics, metal, or previously coated parts, and on real-world items like vents, grilles, trim pieces, fixtures, pipe, or hardware.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order. A match of SW7686 Hinoki should be checked carefully up front because there usually is not a way to correct those choices after it is made.

If you are unsure about the finish or how much you need, verify those details first rather than assuming the order can be changed later.

Even when the color match is correct, SW7686 Hinoki can read differently because of lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. The same matched color can look different indoors, outdoors, or under warm versus cool light.

If the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, the comparison can be more sensitive. That is normal and does not mean the color match itself is wrong.

Choose the sheen based on the object and the finish behavior you want, not just the color name. Lower sheens usually hide small surface flaws better, while higher sheens reflect more light and are often easier to clean.

Because sheen changes how SW7686 Hinoki looks on the finished item, confirm the finish before ordering a custom match. The right sheen can matter as much as the color reference when you want the final result to fit the project.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW7686 Hinoki, 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.
