Match of Formica™ 7226-58 Crayon *

Yes, if you order the Original Material Match version. For Formica 7226-58 Crayon, that is the right MyPerfectColor option for direct touch up on factory-finished laminate after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, service work, scratches, or rubbed edges because it includes a sheen match. If you are painting a separate part instead of repairing the original surface, a different matched format may be a better fit.

Even when Formica 7226-58 Crayon is the correct reference, an installed surface can look different because of age, sunlight, wear, texture, gloss, embossing, and batch variation. That is why a color reference is not a guarantee of an invisible repair on older material. If the area is highly visible or the tolerance is tight, a sample or existing part is often the safer reference.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose the Original Material Match option because it includes a sheen match. For Formica 7226-58 Crayon, other MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, urethane, or epoxy can still be color-matched, but they should not be treated as the direct touch-up choice for the original laminate surface.

Use Formica 7226-58 Crayon as the building-material reference when a laminate-related part or accessory needs to coordinate with nearby Formica material. That can include edge details, trim pieces, displays, sample boards, kiosks, panels, brackets, hardware, or other fabricated components. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Formica 7226-58 Crayon for those separate parts, but the direct touch-up rule still applies to the original factory-finished surface.

Send an existing part or sample for Formica 7226-58 Crayon when the installed laminate has aged, the finish is highly visible, or the approval window is tight. That helps account for wear, sheen change, texture, and lot-to-lot differences that a color reference cannot fully show. For new parts or less critical coordination, the brand color reference may be enough, but a sample is the safer choice when the match has to be closely verified.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Formica 7226-58 Crayon, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Formica 7226-58 Crayon is based on matching an official Formica color sample we have in our archives. The color and sheen of your specific Formica materials may vary. If your laminate is not new, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. If your need for a precise match is critical, we recommend that you send a sample so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the materials of your specific batch.

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.
