Match of Martha Stewart™ 8023 Calla *

The same match of Martha Stewart 8023 Calla can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because sheen changes how much light the surface reflects. A higher sheen can make the color read brighter and show more texture, while a lower sheen can make it look softer. The color code stays the same, but the finished appearance on the item can change a lot.

If you are coating a part that sits next to an existing painted surface, choose the finish that best matches the object you are painting, not just the color name.

Clean the surface first, then remove grease, dirt, loose paint, and any rust before applying a match of Martha Stewart 8023 Calla. If the old coating is glossy or slick, scuff it so the new coating can grip better. Bare metal and repaired spots usually need primer.

The condition of the old surface matters as much as the color. Gloss, texture, and leftover contamination can change how Martha Stewart 8023 Calla looks after it dries, especially if you are coating only one section next to an older finish.

Plastics vary a lot, so test a match of Martha Stewart 8023 Calla on the actual part before doing the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the exact material, surface texture, and how much the part was handled or molded.

For better results, clean the part well and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion. That is especially important on slick or low-energy plastics where paint can have trouble bonding.

Use light, even coats of Martha Stewart 8023 Calla and keep the can moving so you do not overload one area. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy spraying, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking build.

This approach works well on small real-world items like PVC pipe, vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, railings, mailboxes, brackets, and similar parts where spray paint is easier than brushing. Let each coat dry for the time listed on the product label before adding the next coat.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for Martha Stewart 8023 Calla depends on the size of the part, surface texture, color change, and how many coats you need. Rough, porous, or glossy surfaces often use more paint than a smooth, well-prepared surface.

If you are doing a larger project, consider whether you need spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format matched to Martha Stewart 8023 Calla. For smaller parts, order enough to cover the full item with the number of coats you expect to apply, plus a little extra for waste and overlap.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart 8023 Calla in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

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 Martha Stewart 8023 Calla, 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.
