Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge is a cool blue-green with a subdued, gray-cast character. It sits in the medium-light range and reads more restrained than vivid, with enough color to register clearly without looking bright or sharp.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8260 Blue Serge can be used on small parts and accessories where a coordinated finish matters, such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, mailbox hardware, shelf brackets, railings, picture frames, lamp parts, and PVC trim pieces. It can also work on baskets, signs, and other sprayable components when you want the same blue-green reference carried across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a muted color rather than a high-chroma one, it often covers more evenly than a vivid accent color. Even so, substrate color, surface texture, and finish still affect the final read; darker or patchier surfaces may show through sooner, and gloss can make the blue-green appear slightly deeper and cooler. Careful prep and steady film build help the match read consistently.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including 8260 Blue Serge so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8260 Blue Serge *

How do I confirm that 8260 Blue Serge is the right color reference before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm 8260 Blue Serge from a physical swatch, a known painted sample, or the original brand color reference rather than from your screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of 8260 Blue Serge in its own paint, so the order should be based on the actual color target you want reproduced.

If this color will be used on spray-painted parts, make sure the reference you approve is the same one you want matched on the finished item, since lighting, sheen, and substrate can change how the coating looks after application.

What should I know before ordering 8260 Blue Serge as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering 8260 Blue Serge, confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity you need. MyPerfectColor custom color matches are made to order, so choosing the wrong color target or product option can create a problem that is hard to correct after production starts.

This matters especially for spray paint projects on trim pieces, hardware, or removable parts, where the finish and application method are part of the final result. Double-check the selected 8260 Blue Serge match before you place the order.

Where can I find the SDS for 8260 Blue Serge MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the brand color name by itself. For 8260 Blue Serge, MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are choosing a spray paint version for a project, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order, since different product formats can have different safety information.

How much 8260 Blue Serge paint do I need for my project?

Coverage for 8260 Blue Serge depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For small items such as vents, brackets, pipes, fixtures, or hardware, spray paint is often the more practical format. For larger surfaces, estimate the total area first and then plan for extra material if the substrate is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat.

Which finish should I choose for 8260 Blue Serge when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish for 8260 Blue Serge based on how the item will be used, how much shine you want, and how easy the surface needs to be to clean. Higher gloss levels usually reflect more light and can make the same matched color look different than a flatter finish.

For a spray-painted part, the finish is a practical ordering choice, not just an appearance preference. Pick the sheen that fits the project, because the final look of 8260 Blue Serge can change with gloss level, substrate, and application method.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge?

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8260 Blue Serge, 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.
