Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1360 Paper Lantern *

Confirm SW1360 Paper Lantern from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or from a known existing painted sample, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is verifying that SW1360 Paper Lantern is the exact target you want.

If you are matching an existing item, compare it in the lighting where the part will be used and check that the reference is still the same color standard you want to reproduce. That helps reduce the risk of ordering a match to the wrong brand color or the wrong version of a legacy color.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using for SW1360 Paper Lantern. A primer is not always required, but it can improve adhesion and can help with difficult, uneven, or previously coated surfaces.

If you are painting plastic, bare metal, or a surface with repairs, scuffing, or color contrast, primer is often the safer choice. Check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor product and test the full system on the actual part when the surface is unusual or high risk.

No. The same SW1360 Paper Lantern color can read differently as the finish changes, because gloss level changes how light reflects off the surface. A matte finish usually looks flatter, while a glossier finish can make the color appear deeper or slightly different even when the color match itself is the same.

If the part will sit next to an existing surface, try to match the finish as closely as possible. If the finish must change, plan for a visible difference in sheen even when the color reference is correct.

Choose the sheen for SW1360 Paper Lantern based on how the item will be used, how much cleanup or wear resistance you need, and how reflective you want the finished part to be. Lower sheens hide surface irregularities better, while higher sheens are usually easier to wipe and can show more reflection.

If you are coating trim pieces, hardware, covers, or other removable parts, think about the practical use first and the appearance second. The selected sheen will also affect how the matched color reads once it is applied, so pick the finish that best fits the part and the surrounding surfaces.

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so SW1360 Paper Lantern should be tested on the actual material before committing to the full project. Surface cleaning, scuffing, and the right primer can make a major difference in adhesion.

For items like vents, covers, fixtures, grilles, or small plastic parts, use the prep steps recommended for the selected MyPerfectColor product and test a sample area first. That is the best way to reduce the risk of adhesion problems or unexpected appearance changes on the finished part.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1360 Paper Lantern, 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.
