A match of Sherwin Williams SW6004 Mink is a muted warm neutral with a brown-gray cast, low chroma, and a medium-deep value. It reads softer than a clear taupe and less cool than a typical gray, with an earthy, restrained character that stays close to the surface rather than looking bright or clean.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, cabinet pulls, railings, mailboxes, and other small parts where a subdued neutral is needed across different materials. It can also be a practical match for PVC trim pieces, access panels, and hardware when the goal is a consistent brown-gray finish on sprayable items.

Because the color is low in chroma and not especially light, it usually reads as a grounded neutral rather than a reflective accent. Finish and substrate can change the result: gloss tends to make the brown-gray depth read stronger, while matte or textured surfaces can soften it. On lighter or uneven substrates, the first coats may not fully mask contrast, so even film build and good surface prep matter for a uniform result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6004 Mink *

What finish should I choose for SW6004 Mink if I am ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to this color?

The finish you choose for a match of SW6004 Mink affects both appearance and use. Lower-sheen finishes usually hide surface texture and reflect less light, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe down and can feel more durable, but they also make flaws and color differences more noticeable. The same SW6004 Mink color can read differently across sheen levels, so choose the finish based on the item's cleaning needs and the look you want on the finished surface.

If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for a part, fixture, or accessory, make sure the finish matches the application, not just the color reference.

How much SW6004 Mink MyPerfectColor spray paint do I need for my project?

For SW6004 Mink in 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 depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for extra material because the same color may take more than one coat to cover evenly.

Where can I find the SDS for SW6004 Mink in MyPerfectColor paint?
