Match of Home Hardware™ 3E1-8 Earthenware *

Clean the surface first so dust, oils, and loose material do not interfere with adhesion. If the item is glossy or slick and the substrate allows it, a light scuff can help the coating grab better. Mask off adjacent areas and test the paint on the actual surface before committing to the full project.

This matters for metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts because surface condition can change how a match of Home Hardware 3E1-8 Earthenware applies and how the final finish reads.

No. The same color match can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface and how much depth the coating appears to have.

If you are trying to coordinate a part, fixture, or accessory with an existing painted area, compare both the color reference and the sheen. A match of Home Hardware 3E1-8 Earthenware in a different finish can still look different after application.

Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. Custom-made color matches are mixed to order, so they should be chosen carefully.

Because these are custom-made matches, they are not returnable or refundable. If you need spray paint for the project, make sure you select the spray format rather than another product type that may not fit the item you are coating.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Home Hardware 3E1-8 Earthenware is a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, decor pieces, and other small or removable items where spray application is easier than brushing.

It can also be used on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts when the surface is properly prepared. For these projects, the main goal is to coordinate the object to the selected color reference, not to use the original Home Hardware paint product.

The Safety Data Sheet depends on the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not on the Home Hardware color name alone. Look up the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another product type.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 3E1-8 Earthenware, 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.
