Match of Home Hardware™ 3118 Green Onion *

Finish changes how the same match of 3118 Green Onion reflects light on the surface. A glossier finish usually makes the color read a little brighter and can show more surface texture, while a flatter finish reduces reflection and can make the same color look softer. If you are matching an existing part, choose the finish that best matches that item, because sheen is part of the final appearance.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so you do not flood the surface. Hold a steady distance, overlap each pass slightly, and build color gradually instead of trying to cover in one heavy coat. Heavy passes can lead to runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy look, especially on trim, vents, hardware, or other small parts. Let each coat dry according to the product directions before adding the next one.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need multiple coats, plan on extra material so you do not run short.

Primer depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you are using. A primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always required. It is often worth using on bare, glossy, porous, patched, or otherwise difficult surfaces. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering so you can match the primer choice to the job.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 3118 Green Onion color name by itself.

That is the right place to check the document for the exact product format.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 3118 Green Onion, 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.
