A match of Martha Stewart MSL160 Thistle Blue reads as a muted, cool blue with a soft gray cast and moderate depth. It is not a bright or highly saturated blue, so the color tends to look restrained and slightly softened rather than clear or vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, frames, shelving brackets, hardware, mailbox parts, railings, and other small metal or plastic components that need a blue-gray finish. It can also work on PVC trim pieces, downspout sections, baskets, and furniture accents where spray application is practical and a quieter blue is wanted on the finished part.
Because the color is muted rather than strongly chromatic, it usually reads fairly consistently, but substrate color, surface texture, and sheen still affect the final look. Darker or uneven surfaces can show through more easily, and glossier finishes may make the blue appear a little deeper while flatter finishes can make it look softer and more gray. Proper surface preparation and an application test on the actual material are useful for difficult substrates.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart MSL160 Thistle Blue based on Martha Stewart color publications.

Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.
Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL160 Thistle Blue *
Can I return or refund MyPerfectColor MSL160 Thistle Blue if the custom match is not what I expected?
MyPerfectColor MSL160 Thistle Blue is a custom-made color match to the selected Martha Stewart color reference, so you should confirm the target color, product type, sheen, and quantity before ordering.
Custom color orders are not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify that MSL160 Thistle Blue is the exact brand color you want before you place the order.
Which sheen should I choose for MyPerfectColor MSL160 Thistle Blue?
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, because sheen affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how MSL160 Thistle Blue will look on the finished surface.
Lower sheens usually hide surface texture better, while higher sheens are easier to clean but can make imperfections more visible. The same MSL160 Thistle Blue color match can read differently depending on the finish you choose.
Can I order MSL160 Thistle Blue as spray paint for frames, baskets, or decor pieces?
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MSL160 Thistle Blue is practical for frames, baskets, shelving, hardware, fixtures, and other small or removable items where spray application is easier than brushing.
Before ordering, make sure the item can be prepped for paint and that you select the format that fits the surface material and the way the part will be handled after painting.
How much MyPerfectColor MSL160 Thistle Blue paint do I need for my project?
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.
If the surface is dark, porous, rough, or unusually shaped, plan for extra paint so you do not run short before the color is fully covered.
How do I confirm MSL160 Thistle Blue is the right Martha Stewart color before ordering?
Confirm MSL160 Thistle Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.
If you are matching an existing painted surface, remember that aging, sheen, lighting, and substrate differences can affect how the finished match looks.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MSL160 Thistle Blue in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL160 Thistle 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.
