A match of Sherwin Williams SW6797 Jay Blue is a deep blue with a cool cast and a slight green-teal undertone. With an LRV of 9.37, it reads dark rather than bright, and the color has enough chroma to look clear without becoming gray.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, door hardware, railings, mailbox parts, shelving brackets, and other small metal or plastic pieces where a dark blue finish is needed. It can also be applied to PVC trim pieces, camera housings, and accessories when a sprayable part needs to coordinate with the same color reference.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and even film build matter. The underlying substrate can affect how much depth you see, and glossy finishes tend to show surface texture and sheen differences more clearly. On lighter or uneven bases, additional coats may be needed for full, even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6797 Jay Blue *

How much SW6797 Jay Blue should I order for my project?

Plan quantity based on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary with the surface and how heavily you apply it.

If you are coating a small part, fixture, accessory, or removable component, spray paint in SW6797 Jay Blue is often the most practical format to plan around. For a larger area, use the coverage guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you are ordering so you do not come up short.

Do I need primer before using SW6797 Jay Blue?
