A match of Sherwin Williams SW6229 Tempe Star is a dark, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a slight green undertone. Its low LRV of 11.25 gives it a deeper read, while the low chroma keeps it restrained rather than bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference is a practical choice for smaller parts and removable pieces that need this dark blue-gray finish. It can be used on HVAC vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim pieces, cabinet hardware, frames, shelving, and furniture accents where a consistent sprayed finish is easier than brushing.

Because the color is dark and muted, surface prep and even film build matter. Texture, sheen, and the color of the substrate can shift how blue or gray it reads, especially on plastic or metal. On lighter or uneven bases, coverage may take more care to keep the finish uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6229 Tempe Star *

How much paint should I plan for SW6229 Tempe Star when ordering MyPerfectColor spray paint or another format?

Coverage for SW6229 Tempe Star depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the item is rough, porous, dark, or needs extra coats to hide evenly, plan for more material so you do not run short during the job.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of SW6229 Tempe Star from MyPerfectColor?

Before you order SW6229 Tempe Star, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify those order details carefully before checkout.

Is SW6229 Tempe Star a good match to order in custom spray paint for trim parts, vents, or hardware?

Yes. SW6229 Tempe Star in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is well suited for small or awkward items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are inefficient to coat with a brush.

It is especially practical when you want a matched color on removable or hard-to-paint pieces and need a spray format instead of a larger brush-on application.

Why can SW6229 Tempe Star look different after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

Even after SW6229 Tempe Star is matched correctly, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how it reads on the finished item. The same color can look different on a wall than it does on a small fixture, vent, or hardware piece.

If the new piece will sit next to an older painted surface, expect aging, texture, and sheen differences to affect the final appearance even when the color match is right.

How do I choose the right sheen for SW6229 Tempe Star when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen for SW6229 Tempe Star based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and how the matched color looks after it is applied.

Lower gloss levels usually read less reflective, while higher gloss levels reflect more light and can make the same matched color look different on the surface. Pick the sheen that fits the part and the application, not just the color name.
