MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin-Williams reference reads as a soft, low-chroma gray with a slight cool green cast. It is restrained rather than colorful, and the appearance can lean a little more silvery or metallic depending on sheen, substrate, and how the paint film builds.

This match of 94953 / 94969 can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, rail brackets, cabinet hardware, light fixture parts, mailboxes, access panels, and other small metal or plastic components that need a quiet gray-green finish. It also works well for PVC trim pieces, shelving brackets, and other spray-painted details where a subdued, coordinated color is the goal.

Because the color is low in chroma, coverage is usually straightforward, but the final look can still shift with primer color, surface texture, and finish level. On smooth or glossy parts, overlap marks, uneven prep, and sheen differences may be easier to see, and a metallic-looking effect can read differently as the spray film changes. If the item will sit beside an existing coated part, testing on the actual substrate is a practical way to confirm the match before finishing the full piece.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ 94953 / 94969 *

Can I order Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 in a finish that changes how the matched color looks?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 in a finish that fits your project, and the sheen you choose will affect reflectivity, cleanup, durability, and how the color reads on the finished item. Higher gloss usually shows more shine, while lower gloss reduces reflection.

If you are matching an existing painted part, remember that the old surface's sheen and wear can make the new coating look different even when the color match is correct.

What prep do I need before spraying Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 on metal or over an old coating?

Before applying a match of Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 to metal or an existing coating, clean the surface well, remove oil, dust, and contamination, and scuff smooth areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, peeling paint, or failed coating, address that first instead of spraying over it.

The condition of the old surface matters. Texture, gloss, and any uneven wear can change how the finished color looks, so a sound, prepared surface gives you a better result than coating over damage or contamination.

Will Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 look the same after the MyPerfectColor match is applied in different lighting?

Not always. A match of Sherwin Williams 94953 / 94969 can read differently after application depending on daylight, indoor lighting, LED, fluorescent light, and the angle you view it from. Nearby surfaces and the placement of the part can also change how the color appears.

If the finished item will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect some visual difference from lighting, sheen, texture, and surrounding materials even when the MyPerfectColor match itself is correct.
