A match of ICI Market Green is a medium-deep olive green with a noticeable yellow undertone. It reads muted rather than bright, with an earthy cast that keeps it firmly in the green family without looking clear or vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, shutters, mailboxes, brackets, cabinet pulls, and other small exterior or architectural parts. It also suits PVC trim pieces, fence hardware, and removable accessories where a consistent olive-green finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a fairly deep color with an LRV of 19.62, finish and substrate can change how it reads. Smoother surfaces and glossier finishes tend to make the yellow-green undertone appear deeper and more defined, while rough or porous substrates can soften the color. Multiple light coats often help the color build evenly over darker or uneven bases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Market Green *

How should I choose a finish for ICI Market Green when ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to this color?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. A lower sheen usually hides surface texture and small prep flaws better, while a higher sheen is easier to wipe down and will reflect more light. That reflectivity can make Market Green read a little different on the finished item, even when the color match is correct.

If you are ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Market Green for a fixture, trim piece, or removable part, pick the sheen that fits the application and the level of durability you need.

What spray technique helps MyPerfectColor Market Green ICI go on evenly?

Use light, even coats and keep your spray distance and pass speed consistent. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy wet coats, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build on the surface. This matters with Market Green because the finished look can change if the film is applied too heavily.

For best control, build coverage gradually and follow the recoat timing on the product instructions for the exact format you order.

What surface prep should I do before applying MyPerfectColor match of ICI Market Green?

Clean the surface, remove grease and contamination, and scuff lightly where appropriate so the coating has a better chance to adhere. Mask areas you do not want coated, and test on the actual surface before painting the full item when the substrate is unfamiliar or important.

That is especially useful for a match of ICI Market Green on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part, since adhesion and final appearance can vary by surface.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right ICI Market Green match from MyPerfectColor?

Confirm ICI Market Green from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or a known existing color reference before you order. Do not rely on a screen image alone, because monitors and lighting can shift how the color looks.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Market Green in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Market Green, 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.
