A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1168 Stone Black is a very dark charcoal-black with a soft, near-neutral appearance and a slight cool lean. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than vivid, and its LRV of 5.18 places it close to black without reading fully flat black.
For touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, field drilling, or missed spots in the original finish, this color fits powder-coated frames, enclosures, brackets, railings, machine guards, and similar metal parts. It also works for ancillary items such as screw heads, clips, trim plugs, end caps, and replacement hardware that need to coordinate with a coated assembly. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, so the match is intended for practical repair and fabrication work, sample panels, and small parts that need close finish coordination.
Because the color is so dark, small differences in gloss, texture, film build, and surface prep can stand out more than with lighter colors. On a dark finish like this, edge buildup, sand-through, and repair boundaries may be easier to see, so substrate condition and coating thickness matter.
A matched liquid touch-up can track the color reference closely, but an older cured powder-coated part may still read differently if it has aged, weathered, or been applied with a different sheen or texture. If you are repairing a high-visibility area beside an existing finished part, an approved sample or the part itself is a better guide than color alone.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of PSS-1168 Stone Black, but an older or already cured part can still read differently beside fresh touch-up paint. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks in place.
If you are matching to an existing part with a tight visual tolerance, the safest check is the actual cured part or an approved sample, not the color name alone.
Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1168 Stone Black is the right reference when you need touch-up paint for chips, scratches, rub marks, drilled holes, cut edges, handling damage, transport damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, or missed coverage in the original finish.
Order MyPerfectColor paint matched to PSS-1168 Stone Black in the format that fits the repair area. Small defects are often easier to handle with a pen or brush-in-cap bottle, while larger areas may be better suited to spray paint.
Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1168 Stone Black is often used as a color reference for ancillary items such as plastic snaps, screw heads, rivet heads, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, brackets, and similar small parts that need to coordinate with a coated assembly.
For these parts, use MyPerfectColor paint that precisely matches the color and finish. Surface prep matters, especially on plastic or plated hardware, so the finish result will depend on the material and how well it is cleaned and prepared.
Not always. Even when MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of PSS-1168 Stone Black, a liquid touch-up can still look different from the original cured finish because of gloss, texture, film build, and the way light reflects from the coated part.
This is especially important on visible touch-up areas. If the original finish has aged, weathered, or has an effect texture, a fresh liquid repair may not blend the same way as the factory cured surface.
For repeat work, reorder by the exact brand color name and code, PSS-1168 Stone Black, and keep the same product format when possible. That helps maintain consistency for touch-up paint, spray paint, paint pens, or other formats used on related parts.
Consistency also depends on substrate, prep, application method, and the condition of the part being repaired. If you are matching several existing parts, compare against the same reference part or approved sample each time rather than relying on memory alone.
