Match of Home Hardware™ 523 Mermaid *

Confirm Home Hardware 523 Mermaid from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known color reference before you order. Screen images can shift the way the color looks, and MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference rather than to what a monitor shows.

If you are matching 523 Mermaid for a trim piece, fixture, panel, or removable part, make sure the reference you are using is the exact color target you want. That helps reduce the risk of ordering a close-but-wrong match.

For Home Hardware 523 Mermaid, use light, even coats instead of heavy passes. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass consistently, and hold a steady distance so the color builds smoothly without runs or uneven sheen.

This matters on common spray projects like vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, hardware, PVC parts, or small fixtures where heavy application can make the finish look blotchy or muddy. If the product instructions call for flash time between coats, follow that guidance before adding the next coat.

Even when MyPerfectColor has matched Home Hardware 523 Mermaid correctly, the finished look can change with lighting, sheen, substrate texture, and nearby surfaces. A color on a flat test card may read differently once it is sprayed onto metal, plastic, wood, or an already painted part.

This is especially important when the finished item will sit beside an existing wall, ceiling, or fixture. The color is still a match of 523 Mermaid, but the surrounding conditions can change how that match appears on the installed item.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the type of paint you are using. For Home Hardware 523 Mermaid, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

As a general rule, primer does not hurt and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Primer is often worth considering on bare, patched, glossy, or problem surfaces, especially when you want the 523 Mermaid match to cover and stick more reliably on items like metal fixtures, plastic parts, or previously coated pieces.

Before ordering Home Hardware 523 Mermaid, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the target color and format first.

This is especially important if you are ordering 523 Mermaid for spray-painted parts such as trim, hardware, vents, or removable fixtures, because the right product format and finish can affect both the look and the way the coating applies.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 523 Mermaid, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
