Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Golden Tan is a warm, medium-depth tan with a noticeable yellow-orange bias. With an LRV of 32.54, it reads as substantial rather than pale, and the moderate chroma gives it color without pushing it into a bright or saturated range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on small parts and hardware that need a tan, earthy finish. Common spray applications include exterior vents, PVC trim pieces, downspouts, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf components, frames, and other metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items that can be properly prepared before painting.

Coverage behavior is usually driven more by the substrate and finish than by the color itself, but this shade can still show contrast on dark or uneven bases during the first coat. Surface texture, film build, and sheen level can all change how warm or orange the color appears once dry, and gloss finishes tend to make those differences more noticeable. Outdoor exposure and wear can also shift the final appearance over time, especially on high-contact parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Golden Tan *

Where can I find the SDS for Golden Tan by ICI when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you are ordering, not to the ICI color name by itself. For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to use so the safety details match the item you receive.

How do I choose a sheen for Golden Tan by ICI in MyPerfectColor paint?

Pick the sheen based on how the finished item needs to perform, not just on the Golden Tan color name. Lower-sheen finishes reduce reflectivity and can make surface imperfections less noticeable, while higher-sheen finishes are usually easier to wipe down and look glossier.

The same match of Golden Tan can read differently as sheen changes, so order the finish that fits the object you are painting and the amount of cleanup or wear it will see.

What dry time should I expect for Golden Tan by ICI in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Golden Tan by ICI, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about 2 weeks.

Dry-to-touch, recoat, and full handling readiness are different steps. If you are painting a part, fixture, or accessory, plan for each coat to set before handling the item or moving it into service.

What surface prep do I need before applying Golden Tan by ICI as MyPerfectColor paint?

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface so dust, oils, and residue do not interfere with adhesion. On many surfaces, a light scuff can help, but use the prep method that fits the material you are painting.

Mask off areas you do not want coated, and test on the actual surface before a larger job. That is especially useful on items like PVC pipe, vents, hardware, railings, trim pieces, or other parts that may have different textures or coatings.

Why can Golden Tan by ICI look different after I apply MyPerfectColor paint?

Once a match of Golden Tan is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color reads on the finished item. A color that looked right in one setting can appear lighter, darker, warmer, or flatter in another.

If the part will be seen in a specific location, evaluate it under the same lighting it will live in. That is the best way to judge the finished result before you paint a larger surface or install the piece.

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

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