Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW1495 Modernist Gray *

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the original brand color reference, so the safest way to order HGSW1495 Modernist Gray is to confirm the target from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen. If the item will be judged against an existing painted part, verify that reference under the lighting where it will be used before you place the order.

No. Finish changes how HGSW1495 Modernist Gray reflects light, so the same color can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. If you are matching an existing part, choose the finish that best matches that part's sheen, because sheen differences can stand out even when the color formula is correct.

If the original finish is unknown, decide based on the surface and the wear level you need, not on the color name alone.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so HGSW1495 Modernist Gray should be tested on the actual material before you commit to the full part. Clean the surface well, and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion when the substrate needs it. A small test spray is especially important on PVC pipe, vents, grilles, covers, and similar parts because the plastic itself can change how well the coating bonds and how the color reads.

For metal or previously painted parts, surface prep matters as much as the color match. Remove dirt, oils, loose paint, rust, and other contamination, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating can grip properly. The final look can change with the texture, gloss, and condition of the old coating, so a test spray on a similar area is the best way to check results before coating the full part.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams HGSW1495 Modernist 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.
