Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1216 Arabian Night *

Confirm SW1216 Arabian Night from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or another known existing reference before you order. Screen viewing can vary by device and lighting, so the display image alone is not a safe way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference. It is not the original Sherwin Williams product, so verifying the target color first helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match.

For SW1216 Arabian Night, use light, even coats with steady overlap and keep the spray distance consistent. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build that looks muddy on the finished item.

This is especially important when using MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color on smaller parts, trim pieces, or accessories. Building the color gradually usually gives more control than trying to cover in one wet coat.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1216 Arabian Night is a practical choice for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and similar items where spray application makes sense.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful when the goal is to coordinate a removable or small object to a known paint color. Make sure the surface is prepared for the material you are painting so the finish can bond properly.

Before applying SW1216 Arabian Night, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and use a light scuff where appropriate for the material. Mask off areas you do not want painted and let the surface dry fully before spraying.

If you are painting metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or a previously coated surface, test on the actual item first when possible. Surface condition can affect adhesion and the way MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint lays down.

Even when SW1216 Arabian Night is matched correctly, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the finished item reads. The same color can look different indoors versus outdoors or on a smooth surface versus a textured one.

This is normal with custom-matched paint. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, plan for viewing in the actual location because the surrounding conditions can affect the appearance of the finished match.

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.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1216 Arabian Night, 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.
