Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in 8173 Meyer Lemon is a light, clear yellow with a subtle green lean. It reads bright rather than creamy, with enough chroma to stay noticeable but not so much that it becomes neon or strongly saturated.

This color can work well on small sprayable parts where a lighter yellow needs to be carried across a piece: switch plates, vent grilles, speaker covers, shelf brackets, metal frames, mailbox hardware, planter stands, cabinet pulls, and PVC accessories. It can also be used on baskets, furniture accents, and display components when a repeatable match of the selected brand color is needed on a part that takes spray paint cleanly.

Because it is fairly light and fairly chromatic, coverage may show dark or uneven substrates more readily if the film is thin. On plastic, metal, or previously coated items, primer, surface prep, and coat build can affect how even the color looks, and this shade may take more than one coat for uniform coverage. Finish also matters: glossier finishes can make the yellow read cleaner and a bit brighter, while flatter finishes can soften it slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ 8173 Meyer Lemon *

When should I use a primer before ordering MyPerfectColor 8173 Meyer Lemon by Martha Stewart?

Use a primer based on the surface, not just the color. For 8173 Meyer Lemon, primer is often helpful on bare, patched, porous, glossy, stained, or hard-to-stick surfaces because it can improve adhesion and help the final coating behave more predictably. It is not always required, but checking the prep notes for the specific product you plan to order is the safest way to avoid problems.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 8173 Meyer Lemon by Martha Stewart?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the color name alone. For 8173 Meyer Lemon, you can review MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for the exact product you plan to order.

How do I confirm Martha Stewart 8173 Meyer Lemon before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 8173 Meyer Lemon from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original Martha Stewart color, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so verifying the target color before ordering helps reduce the risk of matching the wrong shade.

How do I choose a finish for MyPerfectColor 8173 Meyer Lemon by Martha Stewart?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and cleaned. For 8173 Meyer Lemon, a glossier finish will reflect more light and can make the coating read differently than a flatter finish, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity and are often less sensitive to surface imperfections. If the item will be handled or washed, a more durable, easier-to-clean finish is usually the better ordering choice.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart 8173 Meyer Lemon in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8173 Meyer Lemon, 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.
