A match of Sico 3142-63 Cafe Noir is a very dark brown with a warm, coffee-like character and a restrained yellow-red undertone. With an LRV of 3.24, it reads close to black at a distance but still holds brown depth up close.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small parts and fixtures such as railings, brackets, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shelf supports, hardware, trim pieces, and other sprayable components where a deep brown finish needs to coordinate with an existing color reference.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, coverage can still depend on the substrate and finish. Lighter or uneven bases may show through more easily, and gloss level can change how strongly the brown reads. Good surface preparation and enough film build help the color appear more even and consistent.
