A match of Kelly Moore OW249-1 English Sycamore is a very light off-white with a warm cream bias and very low chroma. It reads soft rather than stark, with enough yellow-beige in the undertone to keep the color from feeling blue-white or gray.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, outlet covers, speaker grilles, PVC trim, shelf brackets, picture frames, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and small fixture parts. The pale tone is well suited to pieces that need to sit quietly against surrounding painted surfaces while still carrying the same reference color across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items.

Because this color is very light, darker substrates and uneven prep can show through more easily, so primer coverage and consistent film build matter. Finish also changes the read: a flatter finish tends to look softer and creamier, while a glossier finish can make the color appear a little cleaner and make surface flaws more visible. If the part will sit beside an older painted surface, sheen and texture differences may be noticeable even when the color match is close.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ OW249-1 English Sycamore *

Where can I find the SDS for OW249-1 English Sycamore by Kelly Moore?

The SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to OW249-1 English Sycamore is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not the Kelly Moore color name alone. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for this product at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need the SDS for a specific format, confirm the product you plan to order so you are looking at the correct MyPerfectColor material.

How should I choose a sheen for OW249-1 English Sycamore matched paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, not on the color name alone. With OW249-1 English Sycamore, a lower sheen usually gives less reflectivity and can be more forgiving on imperfect surfaces, while a higher sheen is easier to wipe down and will make the finished surface look glossier.

Because gloss changes how the color reads, match the sheen to the surrounding item or the finish you want on the final part before you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to OW249-1 English Sycamore.

What dry time should I expect for OW249-1 English Sycamore spray paint?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to OW249-1 English Sycamore is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but dry to touch is not the same as ready for recoating or full handling. Plan for recoating in about 1 to 2 hours and allow about two weeks for full cure.

If you need to assemble, package, or put the part back into service, wait until the coating has had enough time to harden fully.

Can I spray OW249-1 English Sycamore on plastic?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to OW249-1 English Sycamore can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and the surface type matters. Test on the actual part first, because some plastics need different prep or a primer to get reliable adhesion.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on difficult plastics. If you want to use the primer, see https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/ and confirm it fits your project before painting the final piece.

What prep is needed before painting metal with OW249-1 English Sycamore?

Before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to OW249-1 English Sycamore on metal, clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the coating can bite in. If there is rust or loose old paint, remove it before spraying.

Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing coating can change how OW249-1 English Sycamore looks after it dries, so a sound surface prep step is important when you want a consistent finish.
