Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW1453 Steely Gray *

Confirm HGSW1453 Steely Gray from a physical swatch, fan deck, printed chip, or another known brand reference rather than from a screen image. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing painted item, use a physical sample whenever possible because lighting, aging, and display settings can make the color on a screen look different from the real reference.

Yes, but surface prep matters. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and chalk, remove rust and loose paint, and scuff any sound glossy coating before applying a MyPerfectColor match of HGSW1453 Steely Gray.

The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can affect how the finished part looks and how well the new coating bonds. If the surface is heavily worn or contaminated, test a small area first.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how often it needs cleaning, and how much reflectivity you want from a match of HGSW1453 Steely Gray. Lower-gloss finishes usually hide small surface flaws better, while higher-gloss finishes are easier to wipe clean and can make the color read differently.

Because sheen changes the final look, pick the finish that fits the substrate and wear level instead of relying on the color name alone.

Even when the match is correct, HGSW1453 Steely Gray can read differently after application because of lighting, viewing angle, sheen, nearby surfaces, and the texture of the substrate.

A matte wall, glossy metal, and textured plastic can all make the same match of HGSW1453 Steely Gray appear a little different. If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, aging and finish differences may be more noticeable than the color formula itself.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the color name alone. For HGSW1453 Steely Gray, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm and select the sheet for the product format you are ordering.

If you need the SDS for a specific spray paint or other MyPerfectColor format, make sure you open the sheet that matches that product.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams HGSW1453 Steely Gray, 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.
