A match of Sherwin Williams 51485 reads as a dark, quiet blue-gray with a slight green-blue cast and low chroma. With an LRV of 11.57, it sits in the deeper range rather than the midtone range, so it tends to look subdued and grounded rather than bright or reflective.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, mailbox parts, brackets, railings, shelf supports, PVC trim pieces, and small fixtures where a dark neutral color is needed on a sprayable surface. It is also a practical choice for hardware, frames, access panels, and other removable parts that need to follow the same color as a larger painted system.
Because the color is dark and low-LRV, surface condition and finish choice can affect how it reads. Gloss or smoother finishes can make scratches, sanding marks, and texture changes more noticeable, while uneven or contrasting substrates may need additional coats for even-looking coverage. On small parts, spray application and proper film build can help the color settle into a more consistent, uniform appearance.

Yes. If you order a match of Sherwin Williams 51485 in a different sheen, the same color can read differently after it is applied because matte finishes diffuse light and gloss finishes reflect more of it. The color target stays the same, but the finished look on the part can shift with the sheen you choose.
If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, confirm the sheen before ordering so you do not compare two different finishes as if they were the same.
Confirm Sherwin Williams 51485 from a physical swatch or a known existing painted sample, not from screen color alone. Screens can shift color, so the safest target is the original brand reference in hand or a verified color standard.
MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so verifying the target before you order helps avoid choosing the wrong match.
Order carefully because MyPerfectColor custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy a match of Sherwin Williams 51485, confirm the color reference, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.
That review matters most when the color will be used on a finished part, fixture, or removable component where a wrong choice would be costly to redo.
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the project needs. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.
If Sherwin Williams 51485 will go over a dark, rough, or uneven surface, plan for extra product because the real coverage can be lower than the nominal rate.
