A match of Sherwin Williams HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive is a deep, muted olive-green with a gray cast. It reads quiet rather than bright, with low light reflectance and an earthy green direction that can look slightly cooler or more neutral depending on the finish and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts where a subdued olive tone is wanted, such as HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox bodies, shutter hardware, PVC trim pieces, shelf supports, and furniture accents. It also works for baskets, frames, knobs, and removable fixture parts that need a consistent green-brown look across different materials.
Because this is a dark color, surface prep matters. Scratches, sanding marks, and uneven primers can show through more easily than they would in a lighter finish, and some substrates may need extra coats for even coverage. Sheen also changes the read of the color: a glossier finish can make the olive tone look deeper and make texture or surface variation more visible.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so a match of HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive should be tested on the actual item before you paint the whole part. Clean the surface first and check adhesion on the specific plastic you plan to coat.
For difficult plastics, MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion. This matters on items like vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, trim pieces, and other removable parts where spray application is practical.
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the color name alone. If you are ordering a match of HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive, use the SDS for that exact MyPerfectColor product format.
MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the Safety Data Sheets page. If you are choosing a spray can, look for the SDS that matches the spray paint version you plan to buy.
Yes. Finish changes reflectivity, and that changes how HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive reads after application. A glossier finish can make the color look more reflective, while a flatter finish reduces reflection and can make the same color look less shiny.
If you are coating a part that needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, choose the finish that best matches the surface you are painting over or beside. The same color can look different on the finished item depending on sheen.
For metal, clean off oil, dirt, wax, and other contamination before applying a match of HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive. If the surface is glossy or the old coating is still intact, scuff sanding helps the new coating grab better. Remove rust, loose paint, and any failing material before you spray.
The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can change the final appearance. This is important on railings, mailboxes, fixtures, hardware, and other metal parts where a small difference in surface condition can show through the finish.
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how durable you need the coating to be, and how much reflectivity you want. A match of HGSW3251 Coriander & Olive in a higher gloss finish will reflect more light, while a lower gloss finish will look less reflective.
For spray painted parts such as trim pieces, vents, covers, fixtures, or hardware, the finish you select affects both appearance and practical cleanup. If you need the color to coordinate with an existing coated surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible.

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.
