A match of Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia is a muted, warm reddish brown with a soft rose-brown cast. It reads deeper than a mid-tone tan, with low chroma and a subdued, earthy character rather than a clear red or orange-brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia can be used on small parts where a warm brown-red needs to look coherent across different materials. It is well suited to vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, hardware, frame details, and furniture accents when a sprayed finish is the practical way to cover metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated pieces.

With an LRV of 15.87, this is a relatively dark color, so it can read richer on smooth surfaces and a little flatter on textured ones. Darker, low-chroma colors often cover more predictably than brighter hues, but sheen, substrate color, and film build can still change how much warmth or depth shows through. On glossier finishes, surface flaws and existing texture may be more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 1245 Sequoia *

How do I confirm Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

The safest way to order Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia is to confirm the color from a physical swatch, fan deck chip, or a known existing painted sample from the original brand. MyPerfectColor makes a match of Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia from that color reference, so screen images alone are not a reliable approval source.

If you are matching an existing item, check whether the part is still close to the original 1245 Sequoia color and not faded, aged, or altered by wear. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match.

Where can I find the SDS for Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia color name by itself. After you choose the product format, check the SDS for that exact MyPerfectColor product.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: Safety Data Sheets.

Can I use Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia on plastic parts with MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Yes, Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia can be ordered in MyPerfectColor spray paint for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot and some need more prep than others. Test on the actual material first when possible, especially if the part is a low-energy or unknown plastic.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before spraying. You can find it here: Primer for Acrylic Enamel. Clean the part well and make sure it is fully dry before coating.

How much Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia do I need for my project?

For Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia in MyPerfectColor spray paint, plan on about 20 square feet of coverage per can for one coat. Actual coverage depends on the size and texture of the surface, how much hiding power is needed, your spray technique, and the number of coats.

If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format matched to 1245 Sequoia, coverage will be different and may be much higher than spray paint. Estimate from the exact product format and the total area you need to coat.

Which finish should I choose for Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia?

Choose the finish for Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia based on how the part will be used and how exact the appearance needs to be against nearby surfaces. Higher gloss finishes are more reflective, usually clean more easily, and can make surface flaws more visible. Lower sheen finishes are less reflective and can hide texture better.

Because sheen changes the way 1245 Sequoia looks on the finished item, confirm the finish before ordering if the part will sit next to an existing painted surface or if you need the most consistent appearance across multiple pieces.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 1245 Sequoia in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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