Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Sherwin Williams 94900 / 94918 is a deep, warm red-brown with low lightness and a strong earthy undertone. It reads darker than a typical brick red, with enough chroma to stay clearly red while still leaning muted and grounded.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 94900 / 94918 can be used on mailboxes, shutters, railings, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, frames, shelving supports, and other small parts where a dark red-brown finish needs to be repeated across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a dark, fairly saturated color, surface prep and coating thickness matter. Light or uneven substrates can show through if coverage is thin, and sheen differences can change how red or brown the finish appears. On exterior parts, sun exposure and finish choice can also shift the perceived depth of the color, so additional coats may be needed for even coverage on contrasting surfaces.

For Sherwin Williams 94900 / 94918 in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, plan around about 20 square feet per can for one coat.

For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet, but spray paint is the right reference if your project is a small part, fixture, or accessory.
