Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Copper Coin is a warm, medium-deep copper brown with a clear orange undertone. It reads earthy rather than bright, with enough chroma to suggest metal and enough brown in it to stay grounded. The low LRV means it will appear fairly dark in use.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful for small parts and hardware that need a copper-brown finish, such as vent covers, switch plates, cabinet pulls, shelf brackets, picture frames, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, railing details, shutters, and decorative trim pieces. It can also be used on PVC, plastic accessories, and other spray-friendly components when you want a warmer brown-copper tone instead of a cleaner bronze or orange red.

Because this is a relatively deep and moderately saturated color, coverage can depend on the starting surface and primer color. Darker or closely related bases can help reduce show-through, while sheen and texture will affect whether the color reads more coppery or more brown. On smooth surfaces it tends to look more even; on rough or porous substrates it may appear slightly darker and less reflective. Outdoor exposure can gradually soften the warmer copper character over time, so surface preparation and finish selection matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Copper Coin *

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Copper Coin should I order for my project?

Estimate quantity from the surface area and the number of coats you expect to need, not just from the number of parts. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat.

If you are coating small fixtures, vents, hardware, trim pieces, or other removable parts, spray paint is often practical. Rough texture, porous material, lower hiding power, and extra coats can increase the amount needed, so plan a little extra if the surface is uneven or the item is large.

Which finish should I choose for a match of ICI Copper Coin?

Choose the finish based on how the item needs to perform, not just on the color name. Lower gloss finishes usually hide surface imperfections better and reduce reflection, while higher gloss finishes are easier to wipe clean and can show more surface detail.

Because sheen changes how a match of Copper Coin looks on the finished item, confirm the finish before ordering. The same color reference can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss on the actual surface.

Can I return a custom-made match of ICI Copper Coin if I order the wrong product?

Custom-made MyPerfectColor matches of ICI Copper Coin should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

This matters because the color code alone does not tell you the finish or the substrate preparation required for your project. Taking a moment to verify those details helps avoid ordering the wrong custom match.

What prep is needed before applying a match of ICI Copper Coin to metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first so dirt, grease, and loose material do not interfere with adhesion. If the existing coating is glossy, scuff it before painting so the new match of Copper Coin can bond more reliably.

For metal, remove rust and contamination before you apply paint. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how the finished Copper Coin color looks, so a sound and well-prepared surface gives the most reliable result.

Why can a finished match of ICI Copper Coin look different after it is applied?

Even after you select a match of ICI Copper Coin, the finished look can change with lighting, viewing angle, sheen, texture, and the surfaces around it. A part that looks correct in one setting may read differently in bright light, shade, or indoors.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect nearby materials and aging to influence how the new match appears. For the most reliable result, judge the color in the same conditions where the finished item will be used.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Copper Coin in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Copper Coin, 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.
