A match of Martha Stewart MSL168 Wrought Iron is a very dark blue-gray that sits close to charcoal, with a cool cast and low chroma. The low LRV means it absorbs most light and reads as a deep, subdued finish rather than a midtone gray.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, shutters, mailboxes, and hardware when those parts need a dark coordinated look. It also suits smaller sprayable pieces such as fixture bases, appliance trim, cabinet pulls, and metal or plastic accessories after proper preparation.
Because the color is so dark, surface condition and sheen can be noticeable in the final result. Scratches, texture, and repair edges may show more clearly than they would in a lighter color, and the finish can shift how cool or blue the color appears. On light or uneven substrates, thin first coats may look slightly different until enough film build is applied for even coverage. Adhesion and appearance still depend on surface prep and the primer or base beneath it.

Custom spray paint matched to MSL168 Wrought Iron is a practical choice for parts that are awkward to brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small components.
It is also useful when you want a repeatable match of MSL168 Wrought Iron on removable or hard-to-reach items where spray application is faster and more even than brushing.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MSL168 Wrought Iron can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and some need special prep or primer for better adhesion.
Test on the actual material first whenever possible, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel if you want to improve adhesion on a difficult substrate.
Even when the match is correct, MSL168 Wrought Iron can read differently after application because lighting, sheen, placement, surface texture, and nearby materials all affect how the color appears on the finished item.
If the new coating will sit beside an existing painted surface, expect some visual shift from aging, gloss level, or substrate differences. Check the finished part in the same lighting where it will be used before you decide the match is acceptable.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how much wear it will see, and how reflective you want the final coating to be. The same MSL168 Wrought Iron color can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because sheen changes light reflection.
If you want the safest ordering decision, match the finish to the part and environment rather than treating sheen as only a style choice. MyPerfectColor can supply MSL168 Wrought Iron in spray paint and other formats, but the best finish depends on the application.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL168 Wrought Iron, 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.
