Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Dramatic Coral reads as a light-to-medium warm coral with a peach-orange bias and a clear but not overly saturated character. It has enough chroma to stand out, but it is not a neon or candy-bright coral; the color feels softer and more grounded than a pure orange.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be useful on small parts and removable items where a consistent coral tone matters. It is a practical choice for switch plates, vent covers, picture frames, shelf brackets, hardware, lamp bases, speaker grilles, baskets, sign trim, and other sprayable accessories that need a warm accent color without using a brush finish.

Because this is a lighter, moderately chromatic color, coverage can be more even when the surface is properly prepared and the coating is built up in thin passes. Dark plastic, metal, or patchy substrate color may show through sooner than on a white or similar-toned base, so multiple coats may be needed for full color. Finish and substrate texture can also shift how warm or soft the coral appears.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color, not the original brand product, so the final look will still depend on spray technique, surface prep, and the chosen finish. For exterior parts such as shutters, railings, or mailboxes, keep in mind that sunlight and weathering can change the appearance of warmer colors over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Dramatic Coral *

Can I return a custom match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 if I choose the wrong sheen or quantity?

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 is made to your order, so confirm the brand color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before you buy. Custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable.

This is especially important when you are matching parts like trim pieces, vents, fixtures, or PVC pipe and need the order to be correct the first time.

Which sheen should I choose for a match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used. A lower sheen is usually better if you want less reflectivity and a finish that is less likely to emphasize surface texture. A higher sheen is usually better if you want easier cleaning and more wear resistance.

Keep in mind that the same match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 will look different at different sheen levels. The sheen can change how bright, deep, or reflective the color appears on the finished part.

What surface prep is recommended before spraying a match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease, dust, and loose material. If the surface is sound and glossy, a light scuff can help the coating adhere better. After that, mask off the areas you do not want painted and make sure the surface is fully dry before spraying.

For items like hardware, brackets, speaker grilles, switch covers, or other small parts, a test spray on the actual surface is a practical way to check adhesion and appearance before coating the full item.

Why can a match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 look different after it is applied?

Even when the color match is correct, the finished look can change because of lighting, viewing angle, sheen, nearby surfaces, and the texture or material underneath. A coated part can also read differently once it is installed in its final location than it did in the spray area.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, check the match under the same lighting where it will be used. That gives you a more realistic view of how the match of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 will appear after application.

How do I confirm ICI Dramatic Coral 344347 is the right color reference before I order?

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing painted reference. Do not rely on screen color alone, because monitors and phones can shift the appearance of ICI Dramatic Coral 344347.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so verifying the target before ordering is the best way to avoid selecting the wrong match.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Dramatic Coral in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Dramatic Coral, 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.
