Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6497 Blue Horizon *

Custom-made color matches for SW6497 Blue Horizon should be chosen carefully before you place the order. MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color is made to order, so confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity first.

If you are matching an existing part or surface, verify the target against the actual swatch or item you want to coordinate, since the order is prepared specifically for that reference.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW6497 Blue Horizon color name by itself. To find the correct Safety Data Sheet, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order.

For SW6497 Blue Horizon, choose sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheens usually hide surface imperfections better and reduce glare, while higher sheens are easier to wipe down and can make the color read a little stronger on the finished item.

Because gloss level changes the way a matched color looks, the same SW6497 Blue Horizon formula can appear different on a flat versus glossy finish. If the item will be handled often or needs easier cleaning, prioritize durability and cleanup. If the surface is less forgiving, prioritize a lower sheen.

Coverage for SW6497 Blue Horizon depends on the size of the surface, its texture, how well the substrate hides, the application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

Plan your quantity around the actual item or area you are coating, and allow for extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat for even coverage.

Even after you order a match of SW6497 Blue Horizon, the finished appearance can shift with lighting, placement, nearby surfaces, sheen, and the texture of the substrate. The same color can read differently on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, aging and surface texture can make the result look different even when the color match is correct. That is normal and is one reason finish choice and application conditions matter.

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.

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 SW6497 Blue Horizon, 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.
