A match of ICI 1324 Lights Out is a very dark charcoal gray with a restrained blue-green undertone. Its low chroma keeps the color quiet and muted rather than colorful, and the low LRV means it reads as a deep, shadowed shade.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts and fixtures where a dark, subdued finish is needed, such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shelf hardware, mailbox parts, cabinet pulls, and trim accessories. It can also work on PVC, plastic housings, and metal pieces when you want the part to blend into a darker painted assembly instead of standing out.
Because the color is so dark, prep and finish choice matter. Gloss and semi-gloss can make surface texture, scratches, and mold lines more visible, while flatter finishes tend to soften those details. On lighter or uneven substrates, apply the coating evenly and allow enough film build for the depth to read consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1324 Lights Out *
Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1324 Lights Out for switch covers, vents, or hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1324 Lights Out is a practical choice for small parts like switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where a smooth spray finish is easier than brushing. It gives you a match of 1324 Lights Out in a format that works well on removable or detailed parts, rather than the original ICI paint product.
Does the finish change how ICI 1324 Lights Out looks after it is sprayed?
Yes. Finish and sheen change how much light the surface reflects, which affects how ICI 1324 Lights Out reads on the finished item. A flatter finish usually looks less reflective, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the same color appear different on the part. If the painted item will sit near another coated surface, confirm the sheen you need before ordering.
What prep should I do before spraying ICI 1324 Lights Out on metal or plastic parts?
Start by cleaning off dust, oils, wax, and any loose coating. Degrease the surface if needed, then lightly scuff sound surfaces where appropriate so the coating has something to grip. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the match on the actual substrate before coating the full part, especially on plastic or previously coated pieces.
Are custom-made matches of ICI 1324 Lights Out returnable if the color or sheen is not what I expected?
Custom-made matches of ICI 1324 Lights Out should be chosen carefully before ordering because they are made to your order and are not returnable or refundable. To reduce the risk of ordering the wrong item, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need before you buy.
How should I spray ICI 1324 Lights Out to avoid runs and uneven coverage?
Apply ICI 1324 Lights Out in light, even passes with a consistent overlap and the spray distance recommended for the product. Avoid heavy wet coats, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build that looks muddy on small parts. Build coverage gradually and let each coat flash or dry according to the product directions before adding the next coat.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1324 Lights Out in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1324 Lights Out, 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.
