Match of Sherwin Williams™ SS12 Requisite Gray *

Confirm SS12 Requisite Gray from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another trusted original brand color reference before you order. Screen images can shift with device settings and lighting, so they are not a reliable way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not to a digital photo of the color. If you are matching a part that has aged, faded, or been repainted, make sure the reference you use is the color target you actually want to reproduce.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how durable you need the coating to be, and how much reflectivity you want. The same SS12 Requisite Gray color match can look different in a flatter or glossier finish, so sheen is part of the ordering decision, not just the color name.

If you are coating items like vents, switch covers, hardware, trim pieces, or PVC pipe, pick the finish that fits the surface and handling requirements. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of SS12 Requisite Gray in spray paint and other formats for practical application needs.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SS12 Requisite Gray color name by itself. If you need the safety information for the paint you are ordering, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product format you plan to buy.

Even after you order a correct match of SS12 Requisite Gray, the finished item can read differently because of lighting, placement, sheen, and the nearby surfaces around it. A color on a wall, fixture, panel, or small part can look different than the same color seen in a sample book or on a screen.

If the coated part will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect the surrounding conditions to influence how the match appears. This is normal for a MyPerfectColor match and is one reason the original color reference matters before ordering.

Before applying a match of SS12 Requisite Gray, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and mask off areas you do not want coated. On glossy or smooth surfaces, light scuffing where appropriate can help the coating bond better.

Test the process on the actual item or substrate first, especially for plastic, metal, wood, or previously coated parts. Good prep helps the SS12 Requisite Gray match go on more evenly and lowers the risk of adhesion problems on the finished piece.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SS12 Requisite Gray in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SS12 Requisite 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.
