A match of Martha Stewart D23 First Frost reads as a very light, low-chroma off-white with a soft gray-green cast. It is pale and restrained rather than clean or bright, with enough undertone to keep it from reading stark white. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful when you need that quiet, slightly frosted look on a separate part or component.

This color works well for spray-painted pieces such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, outlet plates, brackets, shelving supports, small rail components, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, and hardware that needs to coordinate with a light painted surface. It can also be used on baskets, frames, furniture accents, and removable fixtures where a soft, subdued finish is the goal rather than a vivid accent color.

Because D23 First Frost is so light, the underlying surface can influence how it covers. Dark plastic, patched areas, or uneven substrates may show through more readily and may need additional coats for uniform color. The final reading can also shift with sheen and material, so smooth metal, primed wood, and molded plastic may not all look identical even with the same matched spray paint.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart D23 First Frost is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including D23 First Frost so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart D23 First Frost by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart D23 First Frost based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ D23 First Frost *

How do I confirm that D23 First Frost is the right Martha Stewart color before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm D23 First Frost against a physical swatch from Martha Stewart or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of D23 First Frost, so the order should be based on the original color reference you want to reproduce.

If you are matching an existing painted item, keep in mind that age, light exposure, sheen, and surface texture can make the old surface look different from the reference color itself.

What should I check before ordering custom MyPerfectColor paint matched to D23 First Frost?

Before you order a custom match of D23 First Frost, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-matched paint is made to order, so it is important to verify those details up front.

Custom color orders are not returnable or refundable, so the best way to avoid a wrong purchase is to make sure the D23 First Frost reference and the selected product options match your project before checkout.

Will the finish change how D23 First Frost looks in MyPerfectColor paint?

Yes. Finish or sheen affects how light reflects off the coating, which changes how a match of D23 First Frost reads after it is applied. The color name does not by itself define the sheen, so the finish is an ordering choice, not just a style preference.

For a practical result, choose the sheen that fits the surface and the project, since the same D23 First Frost color can look different in matte, satin, gloss, or other finishes.

Can I apply a match of D23 First Frost over metal or an existing coating?

Yes, but the surface needs proper prep. For metal or a previously coated item, the surface should be clean, dry, and free of rust, loose paint, wax, oil, or other contamination. Glossy areas usually need scuffing so the new coating can bond better.

If you are using MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to D23 First Frost, apply light, even coats and test a small area first when the substrate or old coating is in questionable condition. The condition, gloss, and texture of the existing surface can change how the finished color appears.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to D23 First Frost?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the D23 First Frost color name alone. You should use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

You would have to ask around locally.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart D23 First Frost in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart D23 First Frost, 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.
