A match of Sherwin Williams HGSW1062 Red Tanager is a deep warm red with a brown-orange cast. It reads darker than a bright cherry red, with moderate chroma and an earthy edge that keeps it from looking sharp or cool. The low LRV means it will appear dark on the finished part.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on shutters, railings, mailboxes, downspouts, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, and metal hardware where a deep red coating is needed on a small or awkward surface. It also suits PVC trim pieces, display components, and painted accessories that need a consistent red-brown tone across removable parts.

Because this is a fairly saturated dark red, coverage can depend on the substrate. Light or uneven bases may show through before full film build, so additional coats may be needed for an even result. Gloss level and surface texture can also shift the color toward a deeper or richer look, and exterior exposure can be harder on reds than on quieter neutrals over time.
