Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6389 Butternut *

The finish you choose for SW6389 Butternut affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how the matched color looks after it is applied. A glossier finish will usually look more reflective, while a flatter finish will look less reflective on the finished item.

If you are coating a part that will be handled often, select the finish that best fits the wear level and cleaning needs of that item. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted surface, match the sheen as closely as practical because sheen differences can make the same color read differently.

Before ordering SW6389 Butternut, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not selling Sherwin Williams original paint.

Because custom-made color orders are made for your selected reference, they are not returnable or refundable. It is best to verify the target color and product details before you place the order.

Confirm SW6389 Butternut from a physical swatch or another known color reference from the original brand, rather than relying on a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard, so the reference you approve is the one that matters for the order.

If you are matching something that already exists, check the reference under the lighting where it will be viewed and make sure you have the correct Sherwin Williams color code and name before ordering.

The amount of SW6389 Butternut you need depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the project will require. A typical spray paint can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and application.

For rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces, plan for more material because those conditions can reduce coverage and increase the number of coats needed.

Yes, but the surface needs to be in good condition first. Clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination, and scuff smooth or glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, peeling paint, or a failing coating, address that before applying a match of SW6389 Butternut.

The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can affect how the final color looks. On metal and other difficult substrates, a test application is a practical way to confirm prep and appearance before finishing the full part.

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 SW6389 Butternut, 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.
