A match of ICI Honey Hive reads as a warm, medium-depth golden brown with clear yellow-orange influence. It has a honeyed, earthy character rather than a clean yellow look, and the color carries enough chroma to feel noticeable without becoming neon or overly bright.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, shelving hardware, mailboxes, shutters, and other small parts where a spray finish is practical. It also works well for PVC pipe, fixtures, frames, baskets, and furniture accents when you need a warm amber tone on a piece that can be removed or masked for spraying.
Because this is a fairly saturated warm color, coverage can vary with the substrate and the base color underneath it. Darker, patchy, or glossy surfaces may show through longer than a light, even primer, and sheen will change how much the color reads as brown versus golden. As with any matched color, the final appearance can shift with finish, film build, and surface texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Honey Hive *
How should I spray MyPerfectColor Honey Hive 344544 for a smoother finish?
For a smoother result, spray MyPerfectColor Honey Hive 344544 in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat flash off before applying the next one. Heavy wet coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking build. If the part is important, test the spray pattern and color build on a sample piece first.
How do I confirm Honey Hive 344544 is the right color before ordering?
Confirm Honey Hive 344544 from a physical swatch, a known existing painted surface, or another approved real-world reference from the original brand. Screen viewing alone is not enough because monitors and phone displays can shift the color. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the most important step is verifying that Honey Hive is the target you want before you place the order.
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor Honey Hive 344544?
The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the Honey Hive 344544 color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
Which finish should I choose for MyPerfectColor Honey Hive 344544?
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform, not just on the color name Honey Hive 344544. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how the matched color reads on the finished item. The same color can look slightly different in a flat, satin, or gloss finish, so select the finish that fits the surface and wear level you expect.
Can MyPerfectColor Honey Hive 344544 be used on plastics and other difficult substrates?
Yes, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important before you coat the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface prep and the right primer can make a major difference in adhesion. Use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion on difficult substrates: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/

How many spray cans of the ICI Honey Hive should I get?
MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI Honey Hive which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish.

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