A match of Sherwin Williams 94898 reads as a deep, warm red with brown-orange influence and low lightness. It has a saturated, earthy cast rather than a clear bright red, so it appears grounded and fairly dense on small painted parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 94898 can work on railings, shutter slats, mailboxes, vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, tool handles, furniture accents, and other removable pieces where a deep red-brown finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, hardware, and fixture parts that need to coordinate with an existing paint reference without repainting a larger surface.

Because this is a dark, high-chroma color, it may not cover as quickly as a lighter neutral over stark white, bare metal, or uneven primer. Surface prep, primer choice, and film build can change how rich and even the color looks, and gloss level can make texture and sanding marks more noticeable. On exterior parts, strong color can also be more sensitive to weathering than quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ 94898 *

Can I order Sherwin Williams 94898 as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, knobs, or speaker grilles?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Sherwin Williams 94898 for small parts and hardware where spray application is practical, including switch covers, vents, knobs, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.

This is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not Sherwin Williams original paint. For the best result, make sure the part is clean, properly prepped, and ready for a spray-applied finish.

Will Sherwin Williams 94898 look the same if I order it in matte versus gloss?

No. The same color code can read differently after application depending on the finish, because matte and gloss reflect light in different ways.

If you are matching a nearby part or replacing a removable item, decide on the finish as part of the order. A finish change can make Sherwin Williams 94898 look lighter, deeper, or different in perceived depth even when the color formula is the same.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint do I need for Sherwin Williams 94898?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, the color underneath, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For Sherwin Williams 94898, plan carefully if the item is textured, porous, or a different color underneath. Deep, vivid colors can sometimes need more coats for even coverage.

Can Sherwin Williams 94898 be used on plastic parts, and do I need primer?
