Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6246 North Star *

Confirm SW6246 North Star from a physical Sherwin-Williams swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another reliable original brand reference. Screen colors can vary by device and lighting, so MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, not to what the color looks like on a monitor. If you are matching a specific part or surface, make sure the target is the actual reference you want before ordering.

Before you order, verify the exact reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-matched colors are made to order, so a wrong reference or wrong product choice can create a nonreturnable order. If your project needs spray paint for trim pieces, vents, hardware, or removable parts, confirm that spray format is the right application method before you buy.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the SW6246 North Star color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Use the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor paint option.

Quantity depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power of the coating, the application method, and how many coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet. For small parts like PVC pipe, vents, shutters, mailboxes, grilles, brackets, or hardware, count the pieces and plan for extra coverage if the substrate is textured or porous.

Clean the surface, remove dirt and grease, and lightly scuff where appropriate so the coating can bond better. Mask areas you do not want coated, then test on the actual surface before doing the full project. This matters on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts because finish and substrate can change how SW6246 North Star reads after application.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW6246 North Star 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 SW6246 North Star, 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.
