MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW9149 Inky Blue produces a deep, cool blue with a muted, slightly gray cast. With an LRV of 15.04, it reads low and subdued rather than bright, and the moderate chroma keeps it from looking overly vivid.

That makes it a practical choice for spray-painted vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, or small fixture components where a dark blue reference is needed on metal, plastic, or wood. It also works well for shelves, knobs, camera housings, and other removable pieces that benefit from a clean, consistent finish.

Because this is a darker color, uneven prep, texture, and sheen differences can show more readily on the finished part. A uniform base and even film build help it read more consistently, and finish choice can shift how blue or gray the color appears. On exterior pieces, careful surface preparation matters more than with lighter colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW9149 Inky Blue *

How can lighting and nearby surfaces change how SW9149 Inky Blue looks after MyPerfectColor matches it?

A match of Sherwin Williams SW9149 Inky Blue can read differently after it is applied, even when the color match is correct. Light source, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can make the finished item look lighter, darker, bluer, or more muted than the same paint chip.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface or under specific lighting, the safest approach is to judge the MyPerfectColor match on the actual substrate and finish you plan to use, not only on the color name alone.

What finish should I choose for SW9149 Inky Blue when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. A flatter finish reduces reflection, while a satin or gloss finish is easier to wipe down and usually shows more surface detail. Higher gloss can also make SW9149 Inky Blue look deeper and more reflective.

MyPerfectColor can match SW9149 Inky Blue in the format and sheen that best fits your project, but the sheen you choose will affect the final appearance. If you are coating a part that needs handling or cleaning, durability and cleanup are usually more important than appearance alone.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW9149 Inky Blue?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW9149 Inky Blue color name by itself. To get the correct SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces.

For larger projects, other MyPerfectColor paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, depending on the product and conditions. If you are coating a small part or accessory, count the total surface area and plan for extra coverage if the substrate is textured or if the color change is strong.
