A match of Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem is a medium-dark warm neutral with an olive-khaki cast and a brown undertone. It reads earthy rather than bright, with moderate color strength and a fairly low LRV that gives it noticeable depth.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and other small parts where a grounded olive tone is useful. It also works for PVC trim pieces, hardware, shelving, frames, and fixture components that need a coordinated earth-tone finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because this is a deeper midtone, finish and substrate can shift how warm or muted it appears. Smooth glossy surfaces may make the olive and brown notes read more clearly, while rough or porous surfaces can soften the color and affect coat uniformity. Its earthy character usually covers more easily than a vivid color, but additional coats may still be needed over darker, lighter, or uneven bases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sico™ 6106-73 Artichoke Stem *

Should I choose a matte, satin, or gloss finish for MyPerfectColor matched to Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Sheen affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem reads on the finished item.

MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint to this color reference in different formats, but the sheen is a separate decision from the color itself. If you are coating a visible part next to other finished surfaces, choose the sheen that best fits the application so the result is practical and consistent.

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem take to dry, recoat, and handle?

For spray paint matched to Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually best after 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about 2 weeks.

These are separate milestones. A coat can feel dry before it is fully cured, so avoid heavy handling or putting the part back into service too soon if you need the finish to hold up well.

Can I return a custom-made match of Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem if it is not needed?

Custom-matched orders for Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem should be confirmed carefully before you buy, because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering, verify the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid ordering the wrong match or the wrong type of coating for your project.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right Sico 6106-73 Artichoke Stem match?
