A match of Home Hardware 1267 May Day is a deep, warm red with a noticeable pink-berry undertone. It is fairly saturated and sits in a medium-dark range, so it reads as a strong red rather than a muted earth tone or a pale pink.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small, spray-friendly parts where a vivid red is wanted on the object itself, such as switch covers, vent grilles, speaker grilles, frames, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, shelving supports, hardware, and furniture accents. It is also a practical choice for PVC, removable fixtures, and other pieces that need a repeatable color across multiple parts.

Because this is a fairly vivid, dark-leaning color, coverage can be affected by the base color and the condition of the surface underneath. Lighter or uneven substrates may show through more easily, and gloss level can make texture, edges, and repair marks more noticeable. On exterior parts, weathering and UV exposure can be harder on saturated reds than on quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Home Hardware™ 1267 May Day *

Where can I find the SDS for Home Hardware 1267 May Day if I order a MyPerfectColor match?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not to the Home Hardware color name alone. For a MyPerfectColor match of Home Hardware 1267 May Day, review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product format you are buying, such as spray paint or another coating type.

How should I spray MyPerfectColor match of Home Hardware 1267 May Day for a smoother finish?

For Home Hardware 1267 May Day in custom spray paint, use light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the spray moving so the surface does not get flooded in one area.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. If the surface needs more coverage, let each coat set up before applying the next one.
