A match of Kelly Moore KM706-M Graphite Shadow is a muted gray with a faint green undertone and a light-to-medium depth. Its low chroma keeps the color subdued rather than crisp, so it reads as a quiet neutral with a slightly earthy cast.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shelving supports, PVC trim pieces, and hardware. It also fits removable fixtures, cabinet pulls, and other small components where a restrained gray-green finish helps the part stay visually consistent with surrounding painted surfaces.

Because the color is fairly light and low in saturation, it usually covers more predictably than vivid colors, but the substrate still matters. Dark patches, sanding marks, gloss differences, and rough textures can change how the gray-green undertone reads, so proper prep and even film build help the finish look uniform.

A satin or gloss finish can make the subtle undertone more noticeable than a flatter finish, while heavier build can make the color look slightly deeper. On metal, plastic, or previously coated parts, test spray behavior, adhesion, and surface smoothness all affect how closely the finished piece tracks the color reference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM706-M Graphite Shadow *

Will KM706-M Graphite Shadow look the same in matte and gloss if I order a MyPerfectColor match?

No. The color target for KM706-M Graphite Shadow stays the same, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Gloss reflects more light and can make the same match appear deeper or more reflective, while matte reduces reflection. Choose the finish that matches the item you are coating and the result you need on the finished part.

Where do I find the SDS for KM706-M Graphite Shadow if I order it from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Kelly Moore color name by itself. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and find the SDS for the exact format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another product type. If you need the safety information before ordering, check the SDS for the product you intend to use.

Can KM706-M Graphite Shadow in MyPerfectColor spray paint be used on plastic?

Often yes, but plastics vary widely. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but you should still test on the actual material because some plastics are harder to coat than others. For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before painting, especially on unfamiliar or low-energy plastic surfaces.

How long does KM706-M Graphite Shadow MyPerfectColor spray paint take to dry and recoat?

MyPerfectColor spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks. Dry to the touch does not mean it is ready for heavy handling, so give the part more time before putting it back into service.

How do I confirm KM706-M Graphite Shadow is the right Kelly Moore color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Verify the target from a physical swatch, original brand color chip, or a known existing painted reference. Do not rely on a screen alone, because display settings can shift how KM706-M Graphite Shadow appears. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so confirming the reference first helps avoid ordering the wrong match.
