Match of Home Hardware™ A45-3-1213 Berry Bright *

MyPerfectColor matches the color target for A45-3-1213 Berry Bright, but the finish still changes how that match reads on the finished item. A glossier finish reflects more light, so the color can look sharper or slightly deeper depending on the surface and lighting. A flatter finish reduces reflection and can make the color look softer. If you are coating an existing part, choose the finish that best matches the item you are painting, because sheen differences can be visible even when the color match is correct.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Higher sheen usually gives more cleanup resistance and a more reflective look, while lower sheen reduces reflectivity and can be better when you want the finish to read less shiny. For a color match like A45-3-1213 Berry Bright, the finish matters because the same color can look different at each sheen level. If possible, match the sheen of the item you are coating so the final result is consistent.

Start by cleaning off dust, oil, wax, and loose material, then degrease the surface and lightly scuff it when the substrate allows. Mask off any areas that should not be painted and test the coating on the actual material before painting the full part. Good prep matters because adhesion and final appearance can change on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces. If the surface is glossy, dirty, or uneven, primer may be needed for better bonding and more even coverage.

Use a physical swatch, chip, or known existing sample from the original Home Hardware color reference rather than a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of A45-3-1213 Berry Bright based on the selected brand color target, so the main decision is whether that is the exact reference you want reproduced. If you are matching an older painted part, compare against the original standard when possible, because age, fading, and wear can make an existing surface look different from the color match you order.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product, not the color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Check the SDS for the exact product chemistry and any handling, ventilation, and cleanup guidance that applies to the format you ordered.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware A45-3-1213 Berry Bright, 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.
