Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta reads as a muted blue-green with a cool cast and a noticeable gray softening. It sits in a medium-depth range, so it has enough presence to show clearly on small parts without reading bright or highly saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on metal brackets, railing parts, speaker grilles, switch plates, vent covers, PVC trim pieces, mailboxes, shelf supports, frames, and other removable components where a consistent cool green-blue is needed. On small fixtures and hardware, the subdued chroma keeps the finish from looking loud while still giving a distinct color change from standard gray, white, or bare substrate.

Because the color is moderately deep and low in chroma, it generally covers in a controlled way, but sheen, substrate texture, and previous coatings can change how gray or blue it reads. Darker or uneven bases may show through more readily than a uniform prepared surface, so surface prep and enough film build help the color lay out evenly. Finish choice can also shift the appearance, making it read flatter and quieter or slightly sharper.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL128 Hosta *

Can I order Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta as custom spray paint for trim, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta for small or awkward items such as trim details, vents, pipe covers, railings, hardware, fixtures, and removable parts. Spray paint is usually the practical choice when brushing would be slow or uneven on shaped pieces.

Before ordering, make sure the item can be cleaned and prepared properly and that spray application is the best format for the surface and size of the part.

How much Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta spray paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the coating hides, the spray method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or needs more than one coat, plan for extra material. For larger areas, compare the project size to the coverage you need so you choose the right format before ordering a match of Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta.

Where do I find the SDS for Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta matched paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta color name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product you plan to order.

You can review it here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

What should I confirm before ordering Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta as a custom match?

Confirm the Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that you are ordering the right match and the right product type for the item you plan to coat.

This is especially important when the part will be used with other painted pieces or needs a specific spray-paint format.

Why can Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta look different after I choose a different finish?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta match can look different in gloss, satin, or flat. That is a coating variable, not a change in the color reference itself.

For the most predictable result, choose the sheen that fits the item you are coating and expect the substrate, surface texture, and spray application to affect how the finished MSL128 Hosta match reads.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL128 Hosta, 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.
