A match of Behr M240-4 Sheer Apricot is a light, warm apricot with a soft peach-beige character. It reads as gently muted rather than vivid, with a clear yellow-orange bias and enough lightness to stay airy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small parts and accessories where this warm apricot needs to carry across metal, plastic, wood, or wicker. It fits items such as switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, hardware, baskets, PVC trim pieces, mailboxes, shutters, and decorative fixtures after proper surface preparation.

Because this shade is fairly light and moderately chromatic, the base color and surface condition can affect how it covers. Darker or uneven substrates may need additional coats, and the final appearance can shift with sheen, film build, and texture. On exterior parts, gloss loss and weathering can become more noticeable over time than with a quieter neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ M240-4 Sheer Apricot *

How do I confirm that M240-4 Sheer Apricot is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm M240-4 Sheer Apricot from a physical swatch, a known existing brand reference, or another trusted sample of the original color. Screen viewing alone is not reliable because monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of M240-4 Sheer Apricot based on the selected brand color reference. Verifying the target color first helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match, especially if you are using the paint on small parts, fixtures, or other items that need to coordinate with an existing finish.

What prep should I do before applying M240-4 Sheer Apricot to metal or an existing coating?

For metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface thoroughly, remove dirt, oils, chalk, and other contamination, and scuff any sound glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, peeling paint, or failing coating, address those areas before painting.

The final look of M240-4 Sheer Apricot can change with the condition of the old coating, the gloss level, and the surface texture underneath. That matters when you are painting fixtures, hardware, vents, railings, or other parts that will sit near an existing painted surface.

Where do I find the SDS for M240-4 Sheer Apricot in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the M240-4 Sheer Apricot color name by itself. You should look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you are ordering.

For product safety documentation, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the relevant paint. If you are ordering spray paint, make sure you check the SDS for that spray paint product rather than assuming the brand color name alone tells you everything.

What should I know before ordering custom-made M240-4 Sheer Apricot paint?

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. A match of Behr M240-4 Sheer Apricot is a color reference, and the order you receive is MyPerfectColor paint matched to that selected color target.

Custom color matches are made to order, so they should be chosen carefully. They are not returnable or refundable, which is why it is important to verify the reference and the product details before you place the order.

How long does M240-4 Sheer Apricot spray paint take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to M240-4 Sheer Apricot is generally dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure.

Those are different milestones, so dry to touch does not mean ready for heavy handling, stacking, or installation. If the part will be used or assembled soon after painting, give the coating enough time to harden fully.

How do I convert Behr M240-4 Sheer Apricot to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr M240-4 Sheer Apricot in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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.
