Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem reads as a cool, medium-depth blue with a soft green cast and a slight gray veil. It is not a bright aqua or a heavy navy; the overall effect is calmer and more controlled, with enough color to read clearly without looking overly saturated.

This makes it useful for spray-painted parts where you want the color reference carried onto a separate object or material. Common uses include HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, rail brackets, shelving supports, cabinet pulls, PVC trim pieces, shutters, and small fixture covers. It can also be used on accessories and maker projects when a coordinated blue-green finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because the color has moderate chroma, coverage can vary with the substrate and existing finish. Dark or uneven surfaces may show through sooner and can require additional coats for even color. Finish, film build, and surface texture can also shift how blue or green the match appears once it is sprayed, so the final look may read a little differently on matte, satin, or glossier parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM293-M Sea Gem *

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem for switch covers, vents, grilles, or small hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, and trim pieces when you want a smooth sprayed finish on a removable item.

For the best result, make sure the part is cleaned and prepped for spray application before coating. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, remember that sheen, texture, and substrate can change how the finished color reads even when the color match is correct.

How should I confirm KM293-M Sea Gem from Kelly Moore before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm KM293-M Sea Gem from a physical swatch or a known existing Kelly Moore color reference whenever possible. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

Do not rely on screen viewing alone if the match needs to be exact. The code and name identify the color target, but they do not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an older painted surface may look today.

What dry time should I expect with MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem?

With MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem, expect it to be dry to the touch in minutes. Plan to recoat in 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure.

Dry to the touch, recoating, and full cure are different stages. If you are coating a small part, handle it carefully until the paint has had enough time to build and cure fully.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to KM293-M Sea Gem?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the KM293-M Sea Gem color name alone. If you need safety information, check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Can I return a custom order of KM293-M Sea Gem if the match is not what I expected?

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering KM293-M Sea Gem, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity you need.

If you are matching a known Kelly Moore color target, make sure the reference is the one you actually want. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong custom-matched product.
