A match of Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal reads as a deep, muted brown-gray with a slight olive cast. It is low in chroma and fairly dark, so the color feels restrained rather than crisp or colorful. In practical terms, it sits between weathered taupe, stone, and soft metal tones.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, brackets, railings, shelf supports, cabinet pulls, and other small parts that need a subdued neutral finish. It also works for PVC trim pieces, camera housings, hardware, and removable fixtures when you want a consistent color on sprayable components.

Because this is a dark, low-LRV color, surface prep and finish can affect how it reads. Smooth metal and plastic may show sheen differences, and lighter or uneven substrates can influence perceived depth, so uniform film build matters. A flatter finish will soften the look, while a glossier finish can make the olive-brown undertone appear more noticeable.

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 MSL268 Seal is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including MSL268 Seal so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal 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 MSL268 Seal 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™ MSL268 Seal *

How do I confirm that Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal against a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen image alone. Display settings, lighting, and camera processing can make the color look different from the actual standard.

MyPerfectColor is matching to the selected brand color reference, so it is best to verify that MSL268 Seal is the target you want before you place the order.

Where can I find the SDS for Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name MSL268 Seal by itself. If you need safety documentation, check the Safety Data Sheets for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to order.

If your project needs compliance paperwork, confirm the product type and finish before purchase so you are reviewing the correct SDS for the item you will actually receive.

What projects are a good fit for Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal custom spray paint?

Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal custom spray paint is useful for small or awkward items where brushing is inefficient, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, baskets, frames, brackets, shelves, and other removable parts. It is also practical for parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted area using a match of MSL268 Seal.

For these projects, the main advantage is application control on detailed objects and non-wall surfaces rather than covering a large field of paint.

What prep should I do before using Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal custom spray paint?

Before spraying Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal, clean the surface, remove dirt and grease, and scuff lightly if the material calls for it. Mask adjacent areas and test the paint on the actual surface first if you are working on plastic, metal, wood, or a previously coated part.

Good prep helps the match behave more predictably because sheen, texture, and substrate can change how MSL268 Seal reads after it is applied.

How much Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal paint do I need for my project?

Coverage for Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. 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, depending on the product and conditions.

If the surface is dark, rough, or highly absorbent, plan for additional material so you do not run short before the job is complete.

We use our materials (pigments and base paints) to create our own formulas for Martha Stewart colors.

You would have to ask around locally. MyPerfectColor can make and ship the Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal in a variety of paint types, but we are not able to comment on what other suppliers can provide.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL268 Seal, 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.
