A match of ICI Encore is a deep, cool blue with a slight violet cast and moderate saturation. The low lightness gives it a dense, shaded look rather than a bright navy, and the color can read a little deeper or softer depending on sheen and substrate texture.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Encore is useful on small, sprayable parts that need a dark blue reference color. Common uses include metal brackets, railings, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim, shelving pieces, hardware, and furniture accents where an even coat on irregular shapes matters more than brush control.
Because this is a dark color, surface prep and film build matter. On lighter or uneven substrates, the contrast can show through until coverage is built up, and gloss level can make scratches, texture, and repair edges more noticeable. Finish, substrate, and application thickness can all shift how deep or blue-violet the color appears, so a test pass on the actual material is useful for demanding work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Encore *
Can I order ICI Encore 344376 in MyPerfectColor spray paint for baskets, frames, or furniture accents?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a custom spray paint matched to ICI Encore 344376 for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and similar small items. Spray paint is a practical format when the part is removable or when you need to coat an awkward shape with a consistent color.
Keep in mind that the final appearance can shift with the item's material, texture, and finish. If the piece will sit next to an existing painted surface or is high visibility, test the match on the actual substrate before coating the full item.
How much MyPerfectColor paint do I need for ICI Encore 344376?
Plan coverage around the actual surface area and how the item is built, not just the color reference. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough, porous, or textured surfaces can use more paint, and some projects need two coats for even coverage.
If you are using another MyPerfectColor format, many paints cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but hiding power, application method, and the number of coats can change the total. For a small project, estimate the item's real surface area and add some margin if the part has edges, curves, or an uneven finish.
Where do I find the SDS for ICI Encore 344376 from MyPerfectColor?
The SDS is tied to the exact MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for the matched product, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.
Be sure to review the SDS for the specific format you buy, since spray paint and other coating types can have different safety information.
What prep do I need before spraying a match of ICI Encore 344376?
Start by cleaning the surface so it is free of dust, oil, wax, and loose coating. If the surface is glossy, lightly scuff it where appropriate, then mask off any areas you do not want painted.
For metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or previously coated items, test the match on the actual surface before doing the full project. If the substrate is bare, slick, or otherwise difficult, primer may help, but the best prep depends on the material and the condition of the part.
How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Encore 344376 take to dry and recoat?
For a MyPerfectColor spray paint match to ICI Encore 344376, dry-to-touch time is typically within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for handling or recoating. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours and allow about two weeks for full cure.
If you handle the part too early or apply the next coat too soon, you can mark the finish or change how the color reads on the final item. For small parts and accessories, let each coat set before moving, masking, or reassembling the piece.

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