Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss is a light-to-medium, muted olive-khaki with a soft yellow-green undertone and a gray cast that keeps it subdued rather than bright. It reads as warm, earthy, and low-chroma, with enough depth to hold its tone without looking heavy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, mailbox parts, hardware, shelf brackets, PVC pipe, shutters, and other small pieces where a coordinated spray finish is practical. The color's quiet character makes it suitable for parts that need to blend with adjacent painted surfaces rather than stand out.

Because this is a lighter, muted color, thin coverage over dark or uneven substrates can show contrast or patchiness more easily, especially on plastic or previously coated metal. A smooth primer and even film build help the color read closer to the target, and the final sheen can shift how olive or gray the finish appears.

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 MSL235 Spanish Moss is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MSL235 Spanish Moss so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss 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 MSL235 Spanish Moss 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL235 Spanish Moss *

What finish should I choose for MSL235 Spanish Moss if I want MyPerfectColor paint matched to it?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheens usually reduce glare and can hide minor surface flaws better, while higher sheens are more reflective and easier to wipe clean. The same MSL235 Spanish Moss color can look a little different in each finish, so if you are matching an existing part, compare the sheen on that item before ordering.

Before I order MSL235 Spanish Moss, what should I confirm since custom color matches are not returnable?

Confirm that MSL235 Spanish Moss is the correct brand color reference, that you are choosing the right MyPerfectColor product type, that the sheen fits the project, and that you have enough quantity. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the brand's original paint product. Because custom color orders are made to order, they are not returnable or refundable.

Do I need primer before applying MSL235 Spanish Moss from MyPerfectColor?

Primer depends on the substrate and its condition. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Bare, porous, damaged, glossy, or difficult surfaces often benefit from primer, while a sound previously coated surface may not need it. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering and test on a small area if the surface is unfamiliar.

How long does MSL235 Spanish Moss spray paint take to dry, recoat, and cure?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MSL235 Spanish Moss, it is typically dry to touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks. Dry to touch is not the same as fully cured, so avoid heavy handling or hard wear until the coating has had time to cure.

How much MSL235 Spanish Moss spray paint should I order for my project?

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. Rough, porous, or darker surfaces may need more material. If you are unsure, plan for extra so you do not run short before the job is finished.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss depends on the type of paint needed.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL235 Spanish Moss, 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.
