Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Martha Stewart C21 Hydrangea Blue reads as a soft, cool blue with a muted, slightly gray cast and a faint blue-violet lean. It has moderate depth rather than a bright, airy look, so it tends to feel restrained instead of clear or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, mailbox hardware, shelving brackets, picture frames, railings, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and other small parts where a controlled spray finish is practical. It is a useful choice when the goal is to carry this specific blue onto removable or hard-to-brush surfaces.

Because this is a fairly restrained blue, it usually covers more evenly than a vivid accent color, but the lighter side of the shade can still show dark substrate color or uneven prep more than a deeper color would. Finish, film build, and surface texture can also shift how blue or how gray it appears, especially on glossy or uneven parts.

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 C21 Hydrangea Blue is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including C21 Hydrangea Blue so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart C21 Hydrangea Blue 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 C21 Hydrangea Blue 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™ C21 Hydrangea Blue *

Can MyPerfectColor match C21 Hydrangea Blue for plastic parts, and do I need primer?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint for C21 Hydrangea Blue in spray format for many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Before ordering, test on the actual plastic part if possible. For better adhesion on difficult or low-energy plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the color coat. That helps reduce the risk of peeling or poor bond on parts like covers, trim pieces, housings, or accessories.

What should I do before spraying C21 Hydrangea Blue over metal or an existing coating?

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean the part first to remove dirt, grease, and other contamination. If the surface is glossy, lightly scuff it so the new coating can bond better. Check for rust, loose paint, or failing coating and remove anything unstable before painting. The condition of the old surface, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how the matched C21 Hydrangea Blue finish looks, so a test spray on a small area is a practical way to reduce risk.

How do I confirm that C21 Hydrangea Blue is the right Martha Stewart color before ordering?

Confirm C21 Hydrangea Blue from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or another trusted original brand reference rather than relying on a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of C21 Hydrangea Blue in its own paint, so the most important step is verifying that C21 Hydrangea Blue is the target color you want before placing the order. That matters most when you are matching an existing part or coordinating with a surface that is already painted.

How do I choose the right sheen for C21 Hydrangea Blue on my project?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much surface imperfection you want to show. A flatter finish can hide texture better, while a glossier finish is more reflective and usually easier to clean. The same C21 Hydrangea Blue color can look different as sheen changes, so the finish is part of the ordering decision, not just the color name. If you need the new coating to sit near an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as practical.

Where can I find the SDS for C21 Hydrangea Blue from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the C21 Hydrangea Blue name by itself. If you need safety information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to order. If you are comparing spray paint, another coating type, or a different finish, make sure you review the SDS for that specific item.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart C21 Hydrangea Blue in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart C21 Hydrangea Blue, 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.
