Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6874 Ardent Coral *

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. It is often helpful on bare, glossy, repaired, or hard-to-bond surfaces because it can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, and test on the actual item when the surface is unusual.

The same color reference can look different in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects and how deep the color appears. If you need the result to coordinate with an existing item, choose the finish that is closest to the surface you are painting and do a test spray on the actual material when possible.

Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the Sherwin Williams color name alone. You can find the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Use the SDS for the exact product format you are ordering.

Confirm the target color from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or another known original reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference you provide, so verifying the source color before ordering reduces the risk of choosing the wrong target. If you are matching an existing painted item, compare it to a known reference because lighting and aging can change how it looks.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint can work well on many plastics, and using MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion. For difficult or low-energy plastics, surface prep is especially important before you commit to the full part.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW6874 Ardent Coral 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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 Sherwin Williams SW6874 Ardent Coral, 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.
