Match of ICI™ Arctic Pool *

Use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass when spraying a match of ICI Arctic Pool 344097. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat flash dry before adding the next. Heavy application can lead to runs, uneven sheen, and a darker or muddier-looking finish.

If the part has edges, recesses, or tight details, build coverage gradually so the color lays down evenly. A test spray on a sample piece is the safest way to confirm your technique before coating the final item.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how close it needs to look to the surrounding surface. A lower-sheen finish usually hides texture and prep marks better, while a higher-sheen finish is easier to wipe clean and can be a better choice for parts that need more frequent cleaning.

Sheen also changes how Arctic Pool 344097 reads after application. More gloss reflects more light, so the same color can look slightly different than a flatter finish. If you are matching an existing item, try to match its sheen as closely as possible.

Yes. A match of Arctic Pool 344097 can read differently after application because lighting, placement, and nearby surfaces all affect how the color appears. Warm light, cool light, shadows, and outdoor exposure can make the finish look deeper or shift the way the color is perceived.

This is especially important for a dark color with a low LRV, because lighting changes may be more noticeable on the finished part than on a screen or swatch. If the item will sit next to other painted surfaces, review it in the actual lighting where it will be used.

Confirm Arctic Pool 344097 from a physical swatch or a known existing painted reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift the color, and the code alone does not tell you the sheen, product line, or the condition of an aged surface.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of the selected brand color reference, so verifying the target color first helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match. If the project depends on a specific existing color, confirm the reference before placing the order.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Arctic Pool 344097 is practical for small or awkward parts such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories. It is also useful for removable components and repeatable color-coordination projects where brushing would be slow or hard to control.

For projects like PVC pipe, speaker grilles, switch covers, or other non-traditional parts, spray application can make it easier to cover detailed shapes evenly. Available in MyPerfectColor spray paint and other formats for color-matching projects.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Arctic Pool 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.

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 MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Arctic Pool, 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.
