A match of Sherwin Williams SW1209 Seahawk is a muted blue-green gray with a cool cast and low saturation. With an LRV of 14.4, it reads as a deeper color rather than a pale gray, and the blue-green note stays restrained instead of bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shutters, access panels, and hardware where a steady blue-green gray needs to be applied to small or awkward pieces. It is also a practical match for PVC trim, fixture details, and removable components that need to share the same reference color.

Because this is a fairly dark, low-chroma color, finish and substrate can shift the way it reads. Smooth or glossier surfaces may make the blue-green side appear a little clearer, while textured or uneven surfaces can push it toward a softer gray. If you are coating over a very light or varied base, even film build and surface prep help keep the result uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1209 Seahawk *

How do I confirm SW1209 Seahawk before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm SW1209 Seahawk from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the brand color reference, so verifying the target color first helps avoid ordering the wrong match.

If you already have the original color reference for SW1209 Seahawk, use that as the basis for the order. The code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen, product type, or how an existing painted surface will look after a new coating is applied.

Which sheen should I choose for SW1209 Seahawk if I want the finished item to look and perform a certain way?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and cleaned, because sheen affects durability, reflectivity, and the way SW1209 Seahawk reads after it is applied. A lower sheen usually hides surface variation better, while a higher sheen is typically easier to wipe down and can make the color look more reflective.

If you need SW1209 Seahawk on trim, fixtures, hardware, or other handled parts, pick the finish that fits the use rather than the color name alone. The same color matched in different sheens can look noticeably different on the finished surface.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW1209 Seahawk should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, preparation, application method, and how many coats SW1209 Seahawk needs for even coverage. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If the surface is rough, porous, or a difficult color to cover, plan for extra material. For small parts such as vents, hardware, fixtures, or accessories, it is usually better to estimate conservatively so you do not run short before the project is finished.

Will SW1209 Seahawk look the same after it is applied in different lighting or next to other surfaces?

No. Once SW1209 Seahawk is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color reads. The same matched paint can look different on a wall, a removable part, or a fixture depending on the surrounding materials and the light hitting it.

If SW1209 Seahawk will sit right next to an existing painted surface, or if the project is high visibility, use caution because small differences in aging, texture, and gloss may be more noticeable after installation.

Where can I find the SDS for SW1209 Seahawk from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW1209 Seahawk color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: Safety Data Sheets.

If you need the SDS for a specific MyPerfectColor format matched to SW1209 Seahawk, check the product information for that item rather than relying on the color reference by itself.
