A match of Sherwin Williams SW1720 Green Parakeet is a medium-light yellow-green with a noticeable warm lean from the yellow side. It reads brighter and cleaner than a muted olive, but it is not neon; the color has enough chroma to feel active while still carrying some softness in the body of the color.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts and removable items where a spray finish is practical: HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim, hardware, and furniture accents. It is also a workable choice for metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated pieces that need a consistent green reference after proper surface preparation.
Because this is a fairly vivid color, it may not hide as efficiently over dark, uneven, or strongly colored substrates and can require additional coats for even coverage. Surface texture, film build, and finish can all affect how bright or deep the color reads; smooth, glossy applications tend to look cleaner and more saturated, while rougher surfaces can soften the effect. For exterior parts, UV and weather exposure can be harder on a color with this level of chroma than on a quieter neutral.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per unit, but you should check the specific product page for the format you plan to buy.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1720 Green Parakeet, 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.
