A match of ICI Light's Out is a very dark charcoal with a cool blue-gray lean. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than colorful, and the low LRV means it reads close to black in lower light while still holding a slight gray-blue character.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, metal brackets, railings, mailbox parts, door hardware, appliance trim, shelving supports, and PVC or other small fixtures where a dark finish needs to look consistent across multiple parts. It also works well for kiosk components, display frames, and maintenance pieces that should stay visually quiet rather than stand out.
On a color this dark, surface prep and sheen tend to matter because scratches, texture, and film-build differences can show once the coating dries. Coverage usually builds more evenly over a clean, uniform substrate, but older lighter coatings or rough plastics may still need extra coats for full depth. For exterior pieces, wear at edges and high-contact points can become more noticeable over time, so proper prep and finish selection are important.

Finish changes how Light's Out ICI 344629 reflects light, so the same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss. Lower sheen usually hides surface texture better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color read differently on the finished item.
If you are matching an existing coated part, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. If you are coating a new part, choose the finish based on how much reflection, cleanability, and durability the item needs.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product made to match Light's Out ICI 344629, not to the color name by itself. Look up the Safety Data Sheets for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to order.
If you need the SDS before buying, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and verify the product matches the format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type.
Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the type of paint system you are using. As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.
Primer is often worth using on bare, patched, porous, glossy, slick, or otherwise difficult surfaces. For the best result, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product matched to Light's Out ICI 344629 and test on the actual material when the surface is unfamiliar.
Choose the finish for Light's Out ICI 344629 based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce reflection and help hide small surface flaws, while higher sheen finishes are easier to wipe down and will make the color look more reflective.
If the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, matching the existing sheen is usually the safest choice. If you are painting a removable part or a new part, pick the finish that fits the wear, cleanup, and appearance needs of that object.
Use light, even coats when spraying MyPerfectColor match of Light's Out ICI 344629. Keep the can moving, overlap passes consistently, and avoid heavy application that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a cloudy build.
Let each coat dry as directed before adding the next one. On small parts such as vents, hardware, PVC, fixtures, or trim pieces, thin coats usually produce a more even finish than trying to cover everything in one pass.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Light's Out, 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.
