A match of Sherwin Williams SW2273 Black Sable is a very dark, low-chroma color that reads as a muted charcoal black with a slight cool blue-green undertone. The low LRV gives it a deep, subdued appearance rather than a crisp black or a bright color.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference is a practical choice for vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, outlet covers, railings, brackets, mailboxes, hardware, and other small parts where a dark coordinated finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces. It can also be used on shutters, downspout details, access panels, and furniture accents when a dark, restrained look is needed on individual components.
Because this color is so dark and muted, finish and substrate condition can affect how it looks more noticeably than with a lighter color. Smooth, well-prepped surfaces tend to show the color more evenly, while scratches, texture, and sheen differences can be easier to notice in satin or gloss finishes. On pale or uneven substrates, coverage and film build still matter for an even result.
This is a MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference, not Sherwin Williams original paint. If the new coating will sit beside an existing aged surface, the underlying material, sheen, and surface wear can still make the result look different in practice even when the color match is correct.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW2273 Black Sable is useful for small parts and hardware where a sprayed finish is practical, such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. This is a MyPerfectColor match to the Sherwin Williams color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint line. Confirm the part size, substrate, and sheen before ordering so you get the right product format for the job.
For SW2273 Black Sable custom spray paint, dry to touch is usually within minutes, recoating is generally recommended in one to two hours, and full cure takes about two weeks. Do not treat dry to touch as ready for heavy handling or reassembly. If the part needs multiple coats, use the recoat window rather than waiting until the paint has fully cured.
Before ordering SW2273 Black Sable, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen you need, and the quantity required. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify those details before you buy. If the item will be painted in sections or across multiple parts, make sure the full order will cover the entire project.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the SW2273 Black Sable color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product you are ordering: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are comparing different MyPerfectColor product types, review the SDS for the specific chemistry you plan to use.
Plastics vary a lot, so test SW2273 Black Sable on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the plastic is unfamiliar, glossy, flexible, or especially important to the project, a test application is the safest way to confirm prep and adhesion first.
