Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1797 Proud Blue *

Confirm SW1797 Proud Blue from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or a known existing painted reference before you order. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the code by itself does not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an older painted surface may have changed over time. If you are matching a part, verify the target on the actual item or a trusted swatch, then order the MyPerfectColor match of SW1797 Proud Blue.

It can look different after application. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1797 Proud Blue can shift with lighting, sheen, substrate, film thickness, and nearby surfaces. A sprayed sample on the same material is the safest way to judge the final result if the item will sit next to an existing painted surface.

If the part will be seen in different light, expect the same color match to read a little differently from one location to another.

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, prep, hiding power, spray pattern, and how many coats SW1797 Proud Blue needs. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but rough or porous surfaces will reduce coverage. For a vivid color like SW1797 Proud Blue, plan for enough material to cover the part evenly and to allow for an extra coat if the substrate shows through.

Choose the sheen for the performance you need, not just the color name. In MyPerfectColor, SW1797 Proud Blue can be made in different finishes, and gloss level changes how reflective, washable, and durable the coated item will be. Higher gloss usually cleans more easily and shows more shine. Lower gloss reduces reflection but can look less crisp on smooth parts. If the item will be handled often, pick the finish that fits the use and the cleaning needs.

Before ordering SW1797 Proud Blue, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity. MyPerfectColor custom color orders are made to your selected brand color reference, so they should be chosen carefully. If the item will need a specific format, such as spray paint, make sure that is the format you add to the order, because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1797 Proud Blue, 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.
