A match of Home Hardware SC079 Far From Plain reads as a muted cool blue-gray with a soft slate cast. It is low in chroma, so the color feels subdued rather than bright, with enough blue to register clearly but enough gray to keep it restrained.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on sprayable parts that need a calm, coordinated finish: HVAC vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, PVC trim, frames, and small hardware pieces. It can also be used on baskets, cabinet pulls, fixtures, and other removable accents where a cool neutral-blue look is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because the color is quiet rather than vivid, it often covers more evenly than high-chroma shades, but substrate texture, surface color, and film build still affect the final read. On rough, porous, or darker bases, additional coats may be needed for uniform coverage, and the finish can shift the color slightly lighter, deeper, or more steel-like.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, so plan from the actual item or project area rather than from the color name alone.
If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or needs more than one coat, order extra so you do not run short.
Yes. A match of Home Hardware SC079 Far From Plain can be matched in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small objects and accessories where spray application is the practical way to color-match the item.
This is a common choice for baskets, frames, shelving, hardware, and similar pieces when the goal is to coordinate the item to the selected brand color reference. Clean and prepare the surface for the material before spraying.
Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual part before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.
Clean the part first and do a test application on the real material if the item matters or the surface is unfamiliar.
Confirm SC079 Far From Plain from a physical swatch from Home Hardware or another known existing color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key step is making sure the target reference is correct before you place the order.
If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, sheen, and surface texture can make the current look different from the original standard.
It is usually dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in one to two hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before expecting the coating to be fully hardened.
Dry to touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages, so do not handle the part as if it were fully cured right away.

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.

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.
