Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Golden Day reads as a light, warm yellow-gold with a clear, moderately strong chroma and a slight orange undertone. It has a sunny look without becoming deep or earthy, and the relatively high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on PVC pipe, HVAC vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shelf supports, shutters, mailboxes, hardware, and furniture accents. It is a practical choice for small parts and removable components where a warm yellow-gold finish needs to be repeated across mixed materials.

Because this is a light, fairly vivid color, coverage can be more dependent on the base surface than it would be with a deeper neutral. Darker or uneven substrates may show through at first, so proper prep and enough film build matter. Finish choice and surface texture can also shift how yellow or golden the color appears, and exterior exposure can gradually soften bright warm colors over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Golden Day *

How should I spray a match of ICI Golden Day (344483) for smoother coverage?

Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Golden Day in several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, maintain a consistent spray distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the color lays down evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

If the part needs full coverage, plan on more than one coat and allow each coat to flash or dry as directed for the product you order. A clean, properly prepared surface will also help the match of ICI Golden Day look more even.

Which sheen should I choose for a match of ICI Golden Day (344483)?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color itself. The same match of ICI Golden Day can look softer in a flatter finish and more reflective in a glossier finish, so sheen changes the final appearance of the color.

If you are coating a part that must blend with an existing surface, try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible. For items that will be handled often or cleaned more frequently, select the finish that best fits the wear requirements of the project.

Why can a match of ICI Golden Day (344483) look different after it is applied?

Yes. A match of ICI Golden Day can appear different after application because lighting, placement, sheen, nearby colors, and the surface texture all affect how the eye reads the finish. That is normal even when the color match is correct.

If the item will sit next to an older painted surface or in strong daylight, test a small area on the actual substrate before committing to the full project. For high-visibility work, this reduces the chance of a surprise after installation.

What prep does MyPerfectColor matched to ICI Golden Day (344483) need before spraying?

Start with cleaning and degreasing so the surface is free of dust, oil, and residue. Lightly scuff smooth surfaces if the substrate allows it, then wipe off the dust, mask off nearby areas, and confirm adhesion on the actual item before spraying the full piece.

Good prep matters more on plastics, metal, and previously coated parts. If the surface is glossy, slick, or unusual, a test application is the safest way to see how MyPerfectColor matched to ICI Golden Day behaves before you commit.

Can I use spray paint matched to ICI Golden Day (344483) on baskets, frames, or decor pieces?

Yes. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Golden Day can be a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, decor pieces, and other small items where spray application is easier than brushing. It is often used when the goal is to coordinate an object to a known paint color reference.

Make sure the material can accept paint, prepare it properly, and test the finish on the actual item if the substrate is unfamiliar. That is especially important on wicker, coated metal, plastic, or mixed-material accessories.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Golden Day in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Golden Day, 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.
