A match of Sherwin Williams SW6228 Refuge reads as a medium-deep blue-gray with a cool, slightly green-leaning undertone. With low chroma and an LRV under 20, it looks subdued rather than bright and can read a bit deeper once the film builds.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is well suited to small parts and removable pieces such as vents, return grilles, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, mailbox hardware, shelf brackets, shutters, and PVC trim. The color's quiet blue-gray character works on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep when the goal is a coordinated finish on practical, sprayable objects.

Because this color is fairly dark and muted, finish choice and substrate texture will affect the final read. Gloss can make it appear deeper and clearer, while flatter finishes tend to soften it and bring out the gray side; on light or uneven substrates, more than one coat may be needed for even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6228 Refuge *

What should I do before coating metal or an existing finish with SW6228 Refuge?

Before ordering a match of SW6228 Refuge, clean the metal or old coating thoroughly, remove rust and contamination, and scuff the surface so the new coating can grip. The condition of the existing finish matters because gloss, texture, and wear can change how SW6228 Refuge reads after it is applied.

If you are coating over an older painted surface, plan for a test on the actual item first so you can judge adhesion and appearance before painting the full part.

Can SW6228 Refuge be used on plastic parts, and what prep should I plan?

Plastics vary widely, so SW6228 Refuge should be tested on the actual plastic before you commit to a full project. Some plastics need more prep than others, and a primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel is the safer choice when you want extra adhesion help on a challenging plastic part.

How do I confirm SW6228 Refuge before I order a MyPerfectColor match?
