A match of Behr S300-4 Flax Straw reads as a warm, muted golden tan with a soft brown undertone. It has moderate depth rather than a pale, airy look, so it appears grounded and slightly earthy instead of sharp or bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, mailboxes, shutters, railings, and small hardware pieces. It also fits PVC trim pieces, fixture housings, baskets, and other removable parts where a warm tan-brown finish needs to coordinate across mixed materials.

This color should generally cover more cleanly than very vivid hues, but the final read can shift with substrate and finish. On darker or uneven surfaces, a second coat may be needed for even color, and gloss level can make surface texture and sheen differences more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ S300-4 Flax Straw *

Can MyPerfectColor match Behr S300-4 Flax Straw on plastic parts, and what prep should I do before ordering spray paint?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint for Behr S300-4 Flax Straw in spray format for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. Clean the part well, remove mold release, oil, wax, and other contamination, and test on the actual plastic before painting the full item.

If the plastic is slick or low-energy, use MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion and expect that some plastics may still need extra prep or a test panel before you commit to the finished piece.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Behr S300-4 Flax Straw?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Behr S300-4 Flax Straw color name by itself. If you need the safety information before or after purchase, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product type you are considering.

If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for the specific item you plan to buy, since spray paint and other product types can have different safety information.

What prep is needed before spraying Behr S300-4 Flax Straw on metal or an existing coated part?

For metal or an older coating, clean first, remove grease or contamination, and scuff any sound glossy surface so the new coating can grip better. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing finish, deal with that before you apply a match of Behr S300-4 Flax Straw.

The condition of the old surface can affect both adhesion and appearance. A smooth, sound surface usually gives a more even result than a damaged or uneven one, so test a small area if the item is important.

Will Behr S300-4 Flax Straw look the same after I apply the match on a finished item?

Not always. Lighting, sheen, nearby surfaces, and the material underneath can all change how Behr S300-4 Flax Straw reads after application. A match can be accurate and still look a little different on the finished item than it did on the original reference.

If the part will sit next to an existing surface, reduce risk by testing on the same material and viewing it in the actual lighting where it will be used.

Which finish should I choose for Behr S300-4 Flax Straw when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used. Higher gloss usually gives more wipeability and reflectivity, while flatter finishes can hide small surface flaws better and reduce shine. The color match for Behr S300-4 Flax Straw stays the same target, but the sheen changes how it looks on the finished part.

If you are coating a piece that needs to blend with an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as you can. If you are focused on durability or easier cleanup, choose the finish that fits the use instead of the one that just looks closest in the can.

How do I convert Behr S300-4 Flax Straw to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr S300-4 Flax Straw 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.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
