A match of Sherwin Williams SW6166 Eclipse reads as a subdued olive-gray with a warm yellow-green undertone. It is low in chroma and fairly dark, so the color looks quiet rather than bright, with an earthy cast that can shift slightly with sheen and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6166 Eclipse is useful for parts and accessories where a muted, coordinated finish is needed. It can be sprayed on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railing sections, mailbox parts, downspouts, hardware, shelving, frames, and other removable components that need to match an existing paint reference.
Because this is a darker, low-chroma color, it usually applies more predictably than a vivid accent color, but surface prep still matters. Gloss level, film build, and the underlying material can change how green or brown the color reads, and uneven or patchy substrates may show through until coverage is even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6166 Eclipse *
Where can I find the SDS for SW6166 Eclipse from MyPerfectColor?
MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the brand color name by itself. For SW6166 Eclipse, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
If you need the SDS before ordering, use that page to confirm the document for the specific MyPerfectColor paint you plan to buy.
How do I choose a finish for SW6166 Eclipse when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
The right finish for SW6166 Eclipse depends on where the item will be used and how durable you need the coating to be. Lower sheens reduce reflection and can hide small surface imperfections better, while higher sheens usually clean more easily and can look more reflective on the finished item.
Keep in mind that sheen can change how a match of SW6166 Eclipse reads after it is sprayed or brushed. If you are coating a part that will be handled often, choose the finish that fits the wear and cleanup needs of the project, not just the color reference.
How much MyPerfectColor paint should I order for SW6166 Eclipse?
Coverage for SW6166 Eclipse 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. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and the surface.
If you are coating rough, porous, dark, or uneven material, plan for extra paint because the job may take more than one coat to reach even coverage. For small parts or hardware, the amount needed is usually driven more by the number of pieces than by square footage.
Will SW6166 Eclipse look the same after MyPerfectColor match is applied in different lighting?
A match of Sherwin Williams SW6166 Eclipse can read differently after application depending on lighting, placement, sheen, and the surfaces around it. A MyPerfectColor match is made to the selected color reference, but the finished item can still appear lighter, darker, or slightly different once it is on the actual substrate and viewed in real conditions.
This matters most when the new coating sits next to an existing painted surface or in strong natural or artificial light. If the project is high visibility, a test application on the actual material can reduce the risk of an unwanted appearance change.
Can I order SW6166 Eclipse as MyPerfectColor spray paint for small parts and hardware?
Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW6166 Eclipse can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts where a smooth sprayed finish is useful, such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.
For these projects, the main decision points are surface prep, the substrate material, and the finish you want on the part. A match of SW6166 Eclipse in spray form is often the most practical option when the item is small, removable, or awkward to brush evenly.
