A match of Home Hardware HC21 Ericsson reads as a light, warm yellow-beige with a soft tan undertone. It has enough color to feel distinct, but it stays on the muted side rather than looking bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on practical small parts such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, frames, shelving, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It is also a useful match for removable fixtures, display parts, and furniture accents where a warm light neutral needs to carry across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a light color, darker or uneven substrates may show through more easily, so coverage can depend on surface preparation and film build. Finish also matters: a flatter finish can read softer and more muted, while a glossier finish may make the yellow-beige character appear clearer and can emphasize surface texture or imperfections.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Home Hardware™ HC21 Ericsson *

Where can I find the SDS for HC21 Ericsson from Home Hardware before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the HC21 Ericsson brand color name by itself. If you need the SDS for this match, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for this color: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

That means the surface may feel dry well before it is ready for heavy handling, stacking, or installation. If the part will be assembled or put back into service, plan around the cure time, not just the dry-to-touch time.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right HC21 Ericsson color match from Home Hardware?

Confirm HC21 Ericsson from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. Display settings, lighting, and camera conditions can shift how the color appears.

Can HC21 Ericsson be ordered in spray paint for switch covers, vents, knobs, or similar parts?

For these items, the main decision is usually format and prep, not color alone. Spray application is often the easiest way to coat removable hardware or fixtures in a repeatable match of HC21 Ericsson.

What should I know before spraying HC21 Ericsson on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Plastics vary a lot, so test HC21 Ericsson on the actual material before doing the full part. Surface prep and primer can change how well the coating sticks and how the final finish looks.

MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on challenging surfaces. If you are preparing a plastic part, start with a test area and use the primer when better adhesion is important: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/.
