Match of Kelly Moore™ OW244-1 Ethos *

Confirm OW244-1 Ethos from a physical swatch, a verified color chip, or a known existing painted reference from Kelly Moore rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing part, compare it to a trusted original reference whenever possible because lighting, aging, and device display settings can change how OW244-1 Ethos looks on screen.

For metal or previously painted surfaces, clean off dirt, grease, and loose material first. If the surface is glossy, scuff it so the new coating has better mechanical grip. Any rust, failing paint, or contamination should be addressed before painting because those conditions can affect adhesion and final appearance.

With an existing coating, the condition of the old finish matters as much as the color match itself. A sound, even base usually gives better results than a worn, textured, or peeling surface, and a small test area is a good way to confirm the result before doing the full project.

Choose sheen based on durability, cleanup, and how closely you need the finished item to resemble the reference surface. Higher sheen finishes reflect more light and usually wipe clean more easily, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity and can be more forgiving on minor surface texture.

The same OW244-1 Ethos color can look different at different sheen levels, so the finish is part of the ordering decision. If you are matching an existing piece, try to select a sheen that is as close as possible to the surface you are coating.

OW244-1 Ethos in spray form is practical for baskets, frames, shelves, brackets, hardware, decor pieces, switch covers, vent covers, speaker grilles, and other small or removable items. It is a good fit when the goal is to coordinate an object to a known color reference rather than repaint a large surface.

Spray application can also work on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated parts when the surface is properly prepared. For best results, make sure the substrate is clean and sound before painting.

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats required. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces can reduce practical coverage.

If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor paint format for a larger project, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet depending on the product and surface. Measure the area, allow for extra material if the surface is difficult, and plan for test spraying or overspray when estimating quantity.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Kelly Moore OW244-1 Ethos enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Kelly Moore OW244-1 Ethos in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Kelly Moore OW244-1 Ethos in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
