A match of Sherwin Williams SW6601 Tanager is a deep, warm red with a clear red-brown cast. It reads darker than a bright red and has enough chroma to feel defined, while the brown and orange undertones keep it from feeling cool or blue-based.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on railings, shutter hardware, mailboxes, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelf brackets, picture frames, and small furniture accents. It also works for PVC, trim pieces, and other removable parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted finish.
Because this is a fairly deep, saturated color, surface prep and finish can affect the final appearance. Coverage can look different on darker or uneven substrates as the film builds, and gloss levels may make texture, edges, or repair marks more noticeable. On outdoor parts, the perceived depth can shift with light and sheen changes.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6601 Tanager can be ordered in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot in how they accept coating. Test the product on the actual plastic first if the part is important or hard to replace.
For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. That is especially important on low-energy or unfamiliar plastics where surface prep can make the difference between a coating that holds and one that fails.
Before applying SW6601 Tanager, clean the metal or existing coating thoroughly so dirt, oil, and loose material do not interfere with adhesion. If the surface is rusty, contaminated, peeling, or otherwise failing, address that first.
Scuffing a sound glossy surface can help the new coating grab better. Also keep in mind that the condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how the finished SW6601 Tanager color reads once it is applied.
Coverage for SW6601 Tanager depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, how well the coating hides, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.
If you are using another MyPerfectColor paint format, coverage is typically between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon, but the actual result still depends on surface conditions and application. When in doubt, estimate conservatively so you do not run short in the middle of the job.
Confirm SW6601 Tanager from a physical swatch from Sherwin Williams or from an existing color reference you already trust. Do not rely on a screen alone, since monitors and phone displays can shift the color you see.
MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key ordering step is verifying that SW6601 Tanager is the exact target before you place the order. That helps reduce the risk of choosing a close but different color reference.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6601 Tanager, 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.

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.
