Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6780 Nautilus *

Confirm SW6780 Nautilus from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or another known existing color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the key decision is whether SW6780 Nautilus is the exact target you want before you order.

If you are matching an existing item or surface, compare it to the original brand color reference in the same lighting you expect to use for approval. If the target is uncertain, do not rely on a monitor image to choose the color.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6780 Nautilus is well suited to projects where spray application is practical, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small parts that are awkward to coat with a brush. MyPerfectColor can provide a match of SW6780 Nautilus in custom spray paint for those kinds of items.

This format is useful when you need a repeatable color on removable or hard-to-brush parts, or when you want the color coordinated across multiple pieces made from different materials.

Clean the surface first, then remove loose contamination and scuff the area so the new coating can bond properly. If the metal has rust or the existing coating is failing, address that before applying a match of SW6780 Nautilus in MyPerfectColor paint.

Also remember that gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how the finished SW6780 Nautilus color looks. A sound, well-prepared surface gives you a more predictable result than spraying over damaged or uneven coating.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want in the final result. Higher gloss usually cleans more easily and can be more durable in some applications, while lower gloss reduces reflection but can look less smooth on imperfect surfaces.

The finish also affects how SW6780 Nautilus reads after application. A match of SW6780 Nautilus in MyPerfectColor paint can look different in gloss, semi-gloss, or matte because sheen changes the way light reflects off the surface.

The color match is based on the selected SW6780 Nautilus reference, but the finished appearance can still change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A MyPerfectColor match of SW6780 Nautilus may read slightly differently indoors versus outdoors or under different fixture types.

If the part will sit next to an existing surface, expect the surrounding materials and the condition of that adjacent surface to influence how the color appears. That is normal and is one reason to evaluate the target color reference before ordering.

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.

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 SW6780 Nautilus, 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.
