Match of CertainTeed™ 26 Silver Ash *

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose an Original Material Match product when it is offered for CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash. That is the option that includes a sheen match, which is important when you are repairing rub marks, edge damage, scratches, or similar field work on the installed material.

MyPerfectColor makes a matched paint for the selected building-material color reference, but the best touch-up result still depends on the surface condition and the surrounding finish.

Not always. Even when CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash is the correct color reference, an aged installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If you are touching up beside older siding, the original brand color reference may be close, but it does not guarantee an invisible repair on the existing surface. When the visual tolerance is tight, an existing-part or site-specific check is safer than relying on the catalog reference alone.

MyPerfectColor can make paint matched to CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash in different product types, but only Original Material Match should be treated as direct touch up for factory-finished building materials because it includes a sheen match.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy may be useful for separate parts, broader repainting, or other jobs, but they should not be ordered as the direct touch-up choice for this siding color.

A match of CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash is a siding color reference, so it is useful when you need MyPerfectColor paint matched to a replacement board, trim piece, accessory, or other adjacent part that must blend with the existing exterior material.

For a direct touch-up on the original factory-finished surface, use Original Material Match if it is available. For a separate part or accessory, the best format depends on the item you are painting and whether a sheen-matched touch up is actually the goal.

Exterior exposure can change how CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash reads over time. UV, weathering, moisture, and general service conditions can shift the appearance of the installed siding compared with the original color reference.

That is why a matched paint may still look different beside aged siding, even when the reference is correct. For the best decision, match the product type to the job and treat weathered surfaces as higher risk than new or protected ones.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash is based on matching an official CertainTeed color sample. The color and sheen of your specific CertainTeed parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original CertainTeed color samples. A sample of the CertainTeed 26 Silver Ash you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
