Match of Sherwin Williams™ UO17 Intellectual Gray *

Confirm UO17 Intellectual Gray from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch, an original color chip, or a known existing painted sample. Screen images can shift with device settings and lighting, so they are not a reliable order reference. MyPerfectColor makes a match of UO17 Intellectual Gray, so the key step is verifying that the reference you are using is the exact color you want before you place the order.

Choose sheen based on how the item will be used, not on the color name alone. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and can offer better wear, but they also reflect more light. Lower sheen finishes reduce shine and can hide surface texture better. The same UO17 Intellectual Gray color can look different at different sheen levels, so order the sheen that fits the item and the expected use.

If the part will be handled often, moved, or cleaned regularly, a more durable finish may be the better choice. If the surface needs a flatter look, select a lower sheen and expect the color to read a little differently than it would in a glossier finish.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name by itself. If you need the SDS for UO17 Intellectual Gray, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are ordering a specific format such as spray paint, make sure you review the SDS for that product format rather than assuming it is the same for every paint type.

Before ordering UO17 Intellectual Gray, confirm the color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor custom-matched orders are made to order, so they should be selected carefully. Once a custom color match is made, it is not returnable or refundable.

If you are matching a part that sits next to an older painted surface, remember that age, gloss, texture, and substrate can all change how the color reads. In that case, verify the reference carefully before you submit the order.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to UO17 Intellectual Gray is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and other small items where spray application is easier than brushing.

For best results, prepare the surface for the material you are coating, use primer if the substrate needs it, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat. This helps the finish build evenly on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or previously coated surfaces.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams UO17 Intellectual 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.
