A match of Sherwin Williams SW2724 Black Cherry reads as a very dark, muted red-brown with a near-black base and a subtle warm cast. The low chroma keeps the color from looking bright or candy-like, while the small amount of red gives it a deeper cherry-brown character instead of a neutral black.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on hardware, railings, mailbox parts, speaker grilles, switch plates, vent covers, brackets, shelves, and other small components where a dark red-brown finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, furniture accents, and removable fixture parts that need to coordinate with an existing Sherwin-Williams color reference.

Because this is such a dark color, film build, sheen, and substrate condition can affect how it reads. On lighter substrates, the first coats may still show some contrast until coverage builds, and smooth surfaces can make sanding marks or gloss differences more noticeable. Proper preparation and even application matter more when matching a color this deep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2724 Black Cherry *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor match of SW2724 Black Cherry to avoid runs or uneven color build?

Use light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, hold a consistent distance from the surface, and overlap each pass evenly so the color lays down smoothly. Heavy wet coats can cause runs, texture buildup, and uneven sheen, which are more noticeable on a dark color like SW2724 Black Cherry. Let each coat dry according to the product label before applying the next coat, and remember that dry time can change with temperature, humidity, and the substrate.

What finish should I order for SW2724 Black Cherry if I need a MyPerfectColor match?

The finish affects both appearance and performance, so it is part of the ordering decision. Lower-sheen finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can make surface texture less obvious, while higher-sheen finishes are often easier to wipe clean but can make imperfections and sheen differences more visible. If you are coating a part that needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, the sheen should be chosen with that surface in mind, not just the color name. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of SW2724 Black Cherry in a suitable format for the project.

Will MyPerfectColor SW2724 Black Cherry look the same under different lighting after it is applied?

Not always. Lighting, placement, nearby surfaces, and sheen all affect how SW2724 Black Cherry reads after application. A match made from the color reference can still appear a little different once it is on a specific part and viewed in the actual location. If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface or in a highly visible spot, plan for those viewing conditions to be part of the final approval decision.

How much SW2724 Black Cherry spray paint should I order for my project?

A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on the size of the part, the texture of the surface, surface preparation, and how many coats are needed for even hiding. Rough, porous, or dark surfaces often use more material than a smooth, properly prepped piece. If you are ordering a non-spray paint format, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet, but real yield still depends on the job. For anything with edges, contours, or a difficult substrate, it is safer to plan extra rather than exact minimum coverage.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW2724 Black Cherry on baskets, frames, or hardware?

Yes, those are common uses for a custom spray paint match of SW2724 Black Cherry.

The key is proper prep for the specific material and choosing the right product format for the part you are coating.
