Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Lemon Zest reads as a bright, warm yellow-green with a clear citrus cast and high chroma. The color sits in a lighter range, so it feels energetic rather than deep, with enough green influence to keep it from reading as a pure yellow.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small, spray-friendly parts where a bright yellow-green needs to be repeated consistently. Common uses include vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, rail hardware, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, tool housings, and fixture components. It can also help coordinate removable parts or accessories made from metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a vivid, light color, coverage can be more sensitive to the substrate underneath it. Darker or uneven bases may show through more easily, so additional coats and an even spray film may be needed for uniform color. Finish and surface texture can also change how sharp or soft the yellow-green reads, and exterior exposure can be harder on a color with this much chroma than on a quieter neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Lemon Zest *

Can I order ICI Lemon Zest as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor pieces?

Yes. If your project is a basket, frame, shelf, bracket, or similar item, MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched spray paint for ICI Lemon Zest. This is a practical way to coordinate small objects and accessories to a known color reference without using the original ICI paint product.

Spray paint is usually the right format when the part is removable, has detail, or is easier to coat evenly with an aerosol than with a brush.

How much ICI Lemon Zest spray paint should I plan for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the spray method, and how many coats are needed. As a general rule, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a smooth, small accessory, you may need less than that. If the surface is rough, porous, or a strong color change is involved, plan for extra paint so you can apply enough coats for even coverage.

Do I need primer before applying ICI Lemon Zest in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Primer needs depend on the substrate, the surface condition, and the paint system you choose. A primer is not always required, but it usually does not hurt and can improve adhesion and color consistency.

If you are painting metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item, check the prep guidance for the specific product and make sure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before applying a match of ICI Lemon Zest.

What spray technique works best for ICI Lemon Zest on small parts and accessories?

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the paint lands in a uniform film. Overlapping passes help reduce striping, while heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build of color.

For a match of ICI Lemon Zest, it is better to build coverage gradually than to try to reach full color in one wet coat. That approach usually gives a cleaner finish on baskets, frames, hardware, and other small objects.

Will ICI Lemon Zest look the same if I change the finish on MyPerfectColor paint?

Not exactly. The same color match can look different in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. That can make ICI Lemon Zest appear lighter, deeper, or more vivid even when the color formula is the same.

If appearance consistency matters, choose the finish that best fits the part you are coating and keep it consistent across the project. The finish choice is a practical ordering decision, not just a visual preference.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Lemon Zest in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Lemon Zest, 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.
