A match of ICI Buried Treasure is a medium-deep warm brown with an orange-leaning, rusty undertone. It reads earthy rather than neutral, with enough chroma to keep the color visible as a colored brown instead of a flat taupe.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, mailbox parts, railing hardware, shutter accents, and furniture or fixture components. It also suits PVC, plastic accessories, and painted metal when a coordinated brown tone is needed on removable or detailed pieces.
Because the color is fairly deep and somewhat saturated, the final look can shift with sheen, substrate texture, and film build. On smooth metal or plastic it may read cleaner; on rough or porous surfaces it can appear darker and more muted. Proper surface prep and enough coverage help reduce patchiness and visible substrate contrast. For exterior parts, primer and a suitable protective finish matter, especially on exposed metal and plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Buried Treasure *
Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Buried Treasure for plastic parts, and what should I check first?
Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the first step is to test Buried Treasure on the actual plastic part before you paint the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can change based on the specific plastic and its surface condition.
If you want better adhesion, use MyPerfectColor primer for the project and make sure the part is clean before coating. For unfamiliar plastics, a test piece is the safest way to reduce the risk of poor adhesion or an uneven finish.
How do I confirm that Buried Treasure by ICI is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm Buried Treasure from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original ICI color standard before ordering. Screen viewing alone is not reliable enough for ordering because digital displays can shift the color you see.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the important step is making sure Buried Treasure is the exact target you want. Once the reference is verified, you can order the matching MyPerfectColor paint with less risk of selecting the wrong color.
Will the finish change how Buried Treasure in MyPerfectColor paint looks after it is applied?
Yes. Finish and sheen affect how Buried Treasure reflects light, so the same color can look different once it is applied to a part or surface. The color reference stays the same, but the coating finish changes the visual result.
When ordering, treat finish as a practical coating choice, not just an appearance preference. If the item will be viewed next to other finished parts, the sheen level can be just as important as the color match itself.
What prep should I do before applying Buried Treasure by ICI over metal or an existing coating?
For metal or a previously painted surface, clean the part first, then scuff the surface if needed so the new coating can bond properly. You should also check for rust, grease, dust, or other contamination before applying Buried Treasure in MyPerfectColor paint.
The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, and any failing paint can affect how Buried Treasure looks after application, so repairs or removal of weak coating may be needed before you paint.
Is Buried Treasure available in MyPerfectColor spray paint for small parts like vents, switch covers, or hardware?
Yes. A match of ICI Buried Treasure can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth sprayed finish is practical. It is commonly used for items such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.
This format is a good choice when you want a repeatable color match on removable or hard-to-brush items. If the part has an awkward shape or a visible front face, spray application usually makes it easier to get even coverage.

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