A match of Sherwin Williams SW0072 Deep Maroon is a very dark maroon with a muted red-brown character. The low LRV means it reads deep and weighted rather than bright, and the moderate chroma keeps the color controlled instead of vivid. It has a warm lean, with the red softened by brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color works well on small, visible parts where a dark maroon finish is needed on a separate component. Common uses include vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, shutters, frames, hardware, and furniture accents. It can also be useful on painted accessories or removable parts that need to match a known color reference without refinishing the full item.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and substrate quality matter. Light or uneven undercoats can show through more readily, and gloss level, texture, and film build can shift how deep the maroon looks once applied. On exterior parts, repeated sun exposure may soften deeper reds over time, so consistent coverage is important when matching a specific reference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0072 Deep Maroon *

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before using SW0072 Deep Maroon MyPerfectColor paint?

For SW0072 Deep Maroon, start by cleaning off dust, grease, wax, and other contamination. If the surface is metal or an older painted coating, remove loose rust, loose paint, and any failing areas before applying a match of SW0072 Deep Maroon in MyPerfectColor paint.

If the existing finish is glossy or slick, scuffing usually helps the new coating bite better. Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how SW0072 Deep Maroon reads on the finished part, especially on small metal items, fixtures, hardware, vents, or trim pieces.

How do I confirm SW0072 Deep Maroon is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm SW0072 Deep Maroon from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or a known existing sample whenever possible. Screen colors can vary by device and lighting, so they are not reliable enough to approve the color on their own.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the key ordering step is verifying that SW0072 Deep Maroon is the exact target you want before you place the order. This is especially important if the paint will be used on a visible part, a replacement component, or something that needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface.

Where can I find the SDS for SW0072 Deep Maroon MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the SW0072 Deep Maroon color name by itself. To find it, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and look for the SDS that matches the product format you plan to order.

If you are choosing between spray paint and another format, check the SDS for the exact product you will receive. That is the safest way to confirm the handling and safety information for the paint you are buying.

Can I return a custom-matched SW0072 Deep Maroon order if I choose the wrong sheen or quantity?
