A match of Sherwin Williams 94965 is a deep, warm red with a strong orange-brown cast, high chroma, and low lightness. It reads as saturated rather than muted, so the color has noticeable depth even on small parts and does not shift toward a dusty or neutral red.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 94965 can be used on railings, mailbox bodies, gate hardware, metal brackets, speaker grilles, switch covers, vent faces, shelving parts, and decorative trim pieces where a concentrated red needs to be repeated across removable components. It can also work for shutters, downspout accessories, and painted fixtures when a durable spray application is needed on small, sprayable surfaces.

Because this is a vivid, dark color, coverage can be more sensitive to the base color and surface texture. Dark or uneven substrates may show through sooner, and gloss levels can make sanding marks, scratches, and sheen differences more noticeable. A uniform surface, appropriate primer, and full film build help the match read more consistently, especially on exterior parts that may see more sun exposure over time.
