A match of Sherwin Williams HGSW3357 Upward reads as a light, cool blue-gray with low saturation and a soft, restrained cast. The blue note is present, but it stays muted rather than bright, so the color looks calm, cloudy, and slightly airy instead of crisp or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HGSW3357 Upward can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, small brackets, shelving hardware, picture frames, mailbox parts, railing components, and PVC trim pieces. It is a practical choice for small metal, plastic, or previously coated parts that need a subdued blue-gray finish without drawing extra attention to the item itself.

Because this is a light, low-chroma color, substrate color and surface preparation still matter. Dark or uneven surfaces may need primer or additional coats for even coverage, and the final appearance can shift with sheen, film build, and texture. A flatter finish will keep the color softer, while a glossier finish can make the blue side and any surface flaws read more clearly.
