A match of Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg reads as a deep, warm brown with an earthy, muted character. The low LRV suggests a color that sits on the darker side, with a subdued red-gold undertone rather than a clear or highly saturated brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MSL215 Nutmeg can be used on metal and plastic parts where a dark brown finish is needed in a sprayable format. It is a practical choice for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, handrails, mailbox parts, shelving supports, picture frames, cabinet hardware, and other small fixtures or accessories that need a brown finish applied evenly.

Because this is a dark, muted color, it usually covers lighter surfaces well, but the final read can still shift with finish, substrate, and film build. Gloss or satin application can make the brown seem a bit deeper and can also show surface texture or prep flaws more clearly, so proper cleaning and adhesion prep matter on metal, plastic, and previously coated parts.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MSL215 Nutmeg so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. 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. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact us and one of our expert staff would be happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL215 Nutmeg *

For MSL215 Nutmeg, how do I choose the right sheen when ordering MyPerfectColor paint or spray paint?

Sheen is a practical ordering choice, not just a look choice. For MSL215 Nutmeg, the sheen you pick can change durability, cleanup, and how much light the finished item reflects. Lower sheens usually hide surface irregularities better, while higher sheens are easier to clean and can make the color read a little different on the final part.

If you are matching an existing piece, try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible. If you are coating a new part, choose the sheen that fits the use and the surface you are painting. MyPerfectColor provides a custom match of MSL215 Nutmeg in its own paint, not the original Martha Stewart paint product.

How long does MSL215 Nutmeg custom spray paint from MyPerfectColor take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?

For MSL215 Nutmeg spray paint, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is generally recommended in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about 2 weeks. Those are different milestones, so a surface can feel dry before it is ready for another coat or for full handling.

If you are painting parts that will be installed, assembled, or handled often, plan for the full cure time before putting the item into service. MyPerfectColor spray paint is a custom match to the selected MSL215 Nutmeg color reference.

Can I use MSL215 Nutmeg custom spray paint on switch covers, vents, knobs, or other small parts?

Yes. MSL215 Nutmeg custom spray paint is a practical option for small parts and hardware where a smooth sprayed finish is useful. Common projects include switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar removable items.

Spray paint is often the best format when the part has edges, openings, or detailed surfaces that are hard to coat evenly with a brush. MyPerfectColor supplies a match of MSL215 Nutmeg in its own spray paint, so you are ordering a color match rather than the original Martha Stewart paint.

Do I need primer before using MSL215 Nutmeg paint or spray paint from MyPerfectColor?

Primer may be needed for MSL215 Nutmeg depending on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the type of paint format you choose. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

If the surface is bare, previously coated, uneven, or hard to paint, primer can reduce risk and help the matched color perform better. The safest approach is to follow the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering and make sure the surface is clean, dry, and ready for coating.

Will MSL215 Nutmeg look the same after it is applied as it does on the color reference?

Not always. Even if MSL215 Nutmeg is the correct color reference, the finished result can read differently based on lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and the nearby surfaces around it. A match that is correct on paper or in a swatch can still look a little different once it is applied to a real part.

For the best decision, judge MSL215 Nutmeg in the lighting where the item will be used and on the same type of surface whenever possible. That helps you set expectations before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg?

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL215 Nutmeg, 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.
