A match of ICI Inchworm is a medium-depth yellow-green with a clear green bias and a slightly earthy cast. The color has enough chroma to read distinctly, but it is not an electric lime; it feels more grounded and less sharp than a very bright yellow-green.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, shutters, railings, brackets, shelving, frames, knobs, and small furniture accents. It also suits PVC pipe, exterior fixtures, and other removable parts when you want a repeatable match on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because the color is fairly saturated and sits at a mid-depth value, coverage can be more sensitive to the base color than a quiet neutral. Darker or uneven substrates may need additional coats for an even read, and the finish you choose can shift how warm, clean, or subdued the color appears.

The Safety Data Sheet applies to the MyPerfectColor product matched to ICI Inchworm, not to the color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product and format you plan to order, such as custom spray paint matched to ICI Inchworm.
For spray paint matched to ICI Inchworm, expect dry-to-touch within minutes, recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about 2 weeks. Dry-to-touch, recoat, and full handling readiness are different stages, so do not assume a coat is fully cured just because it feels dry.
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe down and can look more reflective, while a flatter finish can reduce shine and help hide small surface flaws. The finish also changes how the matched ICI Inchworm color reads on the final item, so the best choice is the one that fits the application, not just the color name.
Even when the MyPerfectColor match to ICI Inchworm is correct, lighting, placement, sheen, substrate texture, and nearby surfaces can change how it reads after application. Daylight, indoor lighting, shade, and neighboring colors can make the same coating look slightly different on the finished part than it did on a swatch or screen.
This matters most when the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, because age, texture, and gloss differences can make the match appear closer or farther from the original reference.
Before applying a match of ICI Inchworm, clean the surface well, remove dust, grease, wax, and loose coating, and degrease if needed. Light scuffing can help on slick or glossy surfaces, but test first on the actual material and follow the product label for the specific substrate.
Mask off areas you do not want coated, and make a small test application when the item is unfamiliar, plastic, metal, or already painted. Good prep helps the color and finish perform more consistently.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Inchworm, 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.
