Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6796 Blue Plate *

A MyPerfectColor match of SW6796 Blue Plate can look different once it is on the finished item because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces all affect how the color reads. The same Blue Plate match may appear a little deeper, brighter, or more muted depending on whether it is seen in direct light, shade, or inside a space with other reflective or matte materials nearby.

If the matched item will sit right next to an existing painted surface, keep in mind that age, texture, and gloss level can make the two surfaces look less alike even when the color match is correct. For the lowest risk, check the finished part under the same lighting where it will be used.

Choose the sheen for SW6796 Blue Plate based on how the part will be used and how much surface reflection you want. MyPerfectColor can match SW6796 Blue Plate in different finishes, and the sheen you select changes both durability and appearance.

In general, glossier finishes reflect more light, are easier to wipe clean, and tend to show surface texture more. Flatter finishes reflect less light and can reduce the look of minor surface variation, but they usually do not have the same wipe-clean performance as higher sheens. If the item will be handled often or cleaned regularly, select the finish that fits that use, not just the color.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6796 Blue Plate is useful when you need the color on small, awkward, or removable parts that are easier to spray than brush. Common examples include trim details, vents, grilles, pipes, railings, hardware, fixtures, accessories, and other parts that need a coordinated finish.

This format is often a practical choice when the goal is to match a known paint color on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts after proper preparation. It is especially helpful when you want a repeatable color on items that are not efficient to coat with a brush.

Coverage for SW6796 Blue Plate depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a larger part or a rough surface, plan for less coverage per can. If the substrate is dark, uneven, or difficult to cover, you may need additional product for full opacity. For larger flat surfaces, other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the right format depends on the project, not just the area.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6796 Blue Plate, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.

If you need to handle the part, install it, or stack it against other items, do not rely on dry-to-touch alone. Wait for the appropriate stage for your project, especially if the surface will be assembled, packaged, or put back into service soon after painting.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6796 Blue Plate, 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.
