A match of Sherwin Williams SW6493 Ebbtide reads as a muted blue-green with a cool lean and a soft gray cast. It is lighter than a deep teal, but it is not a bright aqua; the color has restrained chroma and a calm, softened look that can shift a little with sheen and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin-Williams color can be used on practical parts and accessories such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, access panels, railings, mailbox hardware, shutters, PVC trim, shelf brackets, frames, baskets, and small furniture details. It is also a useful match for removable fixtures, display components, and maker projects where a repeatable blue-green finish needs to be applied cleanly across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because the color is muted rather than highly saturated, it usually covers more predictably than vivid blue-greens, but surface preparation still matters. Darker or uneven substrates may show through more on the first coats, and gloss level can change how gray or how clean the color appears. A consistent finish and even film build will help the match read more uniformly across parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6493 Ebbtide *

Where can I find the SDS for SW6493 Ebbtide?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Sherwin Williams color name by itself. For SW6493 Ebbtide, review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page before use so you have the sheet for the exact product you plan to spray.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

How does finish change the look of SW6493 Ebbtide after it is applied?

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6493 Ebbtide can look different after application depending on the finish you order. A glossier finish reflects more light, so the color can read brighter and more reflective, while a flatter finish reduces shine and can make the same color read softer.

If you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, the sheen can matter as much as the color itself. Compare the finish you plan to order before you commit to the full project.

Which sheen should I order for SW6493 Ebbtide if I need the right finish for my project?

Choose the sheen for SW6493 Ebbtide based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished piece. Flatter finishes usually hide minor surface marks better, while satin and semi-gloss finishes are easier to wipe down and will show more shine.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to keep the sheen consistent so the color and finish read the same on the final item. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint can be ordered in a finish that fits the project instead of treating sheen as an afterthought.

Can I spray match SW6493 Ebbtide on plastic surfaces?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so SW6493 Ebbtide should be tested on the actual material before you finish the whole part. Surface age, mold release, and the type of plastic can all affect adhesion and the final look.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. You can review that primer here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW6493 Ebbtide is a practical choice when you want MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to a known color reference for items like baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, hardware, and decor pieces.

This is a good use case when the goal is to coordinate a removable or small item to the selected color rather than repaint a large surface. Clean and prep the item first, and use a primer if the surface is plastic or another difficult substrate.
