Match of CertainTeed™ Driftwood Blend *

Yes, if you need to repair scratches, rub marks, chips, or field-cut edges on CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626, the right path is MyPerfectColor paint matched to that building-material color reference. For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose only a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match because that is the option that includes a sheen match.

If the damage is on older installed material, the repair may still be visible because age, weathering, and surface texture can change how the color reads.

Not always. CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626 is a factory color reference, but an installed siding surface can change over time from sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture wear, and batch variation.

If you need a tight visual match beside an existing surface, an existing part, sample, or site-approved reference is usually safer than relying on the color name alone.

For direct touch up on CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626, use Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match. That is the format to choose for factory-finished siding repairs.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626, but they are better suited to replacement parts, accessories, or broader repainting where a direct touch-up sheen match is not the goal.

CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626 should be treated as a siding color reference for MyPerfectColor matched paint when you need a coordinated finish on siding, trim, soffit, fascia, shutters, gutters, flashing, vents, or other nearby exterior parts.

If the job is touch up on the original factory-finished surface, choose Original Material Match. If the job is painting a replacement piece or an accessory, the color match is still useful, but the fit depends on the part, substrate, and finish on that specific item.

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the product type you need, the finish or sheen, and the quantity. For CertainTeed Driftwood Blend 493626, that matters because touch up, replacement parts, and broader repainting may call for different product formats.

Custom-made color matches should be checked carefully before purchase because they are not returnable or refundable.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed Driftwood Blend but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the CertainTeed Driftwood Blend is based on matching an official CertainTeed color sample. The color and sheen of your specific CertainTeed parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original CertainTeed color samples. A sample of the CertainTeed Driftwood Blend you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
