Match of Sherwin Williams™ NW04 Familiar Beige *

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the texture of the surface, the hiding power of the color over the existing substrate, the spray pattern, and how many coats you need. As a general guide, a can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are coating a larger item or a rough surface, plan for more than one coat and order extra so you do not run short.

If you need a different format than spray paint, other MyPerfectColor paints commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the actual result still depends on the same surface and application factors.

No. The color reference is the same, but finish changes how the coating reflects light and how the matched color reads on the finished item. A glossier finish usually looks brighter and more reflective, while a flatter finish usually looks less reflective and can read slightly different in use.

For a project where the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, the finish matters as much as the color match. MyPerfectColor makes a match of NW04 Familiar Beige in the product format and sheen you choose, so confirm the finish before ordering.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, how much cleanup it may need, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and will make the color appear more reflective. Lower gloss finishes reduce reflectivity but can be less forgiving on surface flaws.

If you are matching a specific painted part, try to select a sheen that is close to the existing finish. The same NW04 Familiar Beige color can look different if the sheen level changes.

Use light, even coats and keep the spray can moving so the coating does not build up in one spot. Hold a consistent distance from the part, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

Let each coat dry before applying the next coat according to the product label. This is especially important on small items like vents, hardware, grilles, pipe, or accessories where a heavy coat can change the way NW04 Familiar Beige looks when it dries.

Confirm the color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own custom-matched paint made to match NW04 Familiar Beige, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to choose carefully. If your project depends on a specific application, make sure the selected product is appropriate for the surface and the finish you need.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams NW04 Familiar Beige, 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.
