Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat is a light, muted beige-tan with a soft yellow undertone and a low-chroma, weathered character. It reads warm rather than gray, with enough depth to stay visible without turning dark.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to this building-material color can be used on replacement siding trim, soffit or fascia pieces, vent covers, access panels, brackets, shutter hardware, and other paintable accessories that need to coordinate with CertainTeed siding. It is also useful after shipping damage, field cutting, installation marks, or service work on separate parts.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match. That matters on existing installed material, since age, weathering, texture, embossing, and gloss can make a correct color reference read differently beside the original surface.

Because 28 Summer Wheat is light, it can show darker substrate color or repair edges more readily than deeper shades, so even coverage may take extra coats over contrasting surfaces. Film build and finish can also change how strongly the warm beige undertone appears after application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of CertainTeed™ 28 Summer Wheat *

For CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat, which MyPerfectColor product should I use for touch up after shipping damage, installation damage, or field cutting?

For direct touch up on CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat, choose an Original Material Match product when it is available. In this collection, that is the touch-up option because it includes a sheen match. MyPerfectColor will make a matched paint to the CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat color reference, which is the right starting point for repair work on factory-finished siding or related building materials.

If the repair is on a small damaged area, a missed edge, or a service touch-up, do not treat other product types as equal substitutes for direct touch up.

Will CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat match an older installed surface exactly if the siding has weathered or changed sheen?

Not always. A match of CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat is a factory color reference, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, texture, embossing, sheen change, or batch variation. Even when the color reference is correct, the repaired area may still read differently next to the existing surface.

If the goal is touch up beside aged material, use the color reference carefully and expect that a site-specific sample or existing-part match may be the safer choice when the approval tolerance is tight.

Is CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat available in formats other than Original Material Match, and which format is right for direct touch up?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can offer color-matched options in several formats, but for direct touch up on CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat, only Original Material Match should be treated as the right choice because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint and specialty products such as urethane or epoxy may still be color-matched options, but they are not the right answer for direct touch up on factory-finished building materials.

Choose the format based on the job: Original Material Match for touch up, and other formats only when you are coating a separate part, accessory, or broader repaint area.

Can CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat be used to coordinate siding, trim, or replacement pieces on a CertainTeed exterior system?

Yes. A match of CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat can be used as a color reference for MyPerfectColor paint when you need a replacement part, trim piece, soffit, fascia, gutter, flashing, or other nearby accessory to blend with CertainTeed siding or related exterior materials.

For direct touch up on the original finished surface, use an Original Material Match product. For a separate replacement part or accessory, a matched paint made to CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat can be the practical choice as long as you are not relying on it to blend an aged, weathered surface perfectly.

When should I send a sample or existing part for CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat instead of ordering from the color name alone?

Use a sample or existing part when the installed CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat material has aged, the finish is highly visible, or the approval tolerance is tight. A brand color name is useful as a reference, but an actual part from the site can capture the real color, sheen, and surface condition more accurately.

This is especially helpful when the repair is next to weathered siding or another exposed surface where a close visual blend matters more than matching the nominal color name alone.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat?

Can I use this CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat paint to touch up my CertainTeed materials?

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 28 Summer Wheat 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 28 Summer Wheat 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.
