A match of ICI Marshmallow is a very light off-white with a soft warm cast. The low chroma keeps it muted rather than bright, and the slight beige-yellow undertone gives it a warmer read than a clean white. In MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, it is suited to a quiet, pale finish that stays close to the original color reference.
This shade works well on spray-painted parts that need to blend into an existing painted surface without standing out, such as HVAC vents, switch covers, access panels, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, picture frames, baskets, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be used on mailboxes, railings, shutters, or fixture housings when a soft off-white match is needed across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts.
Because Marshmallow is so light, even coverage matters. Darker or uneven substrates can show through more easily, so proper prep and enough film build can help the color read evenly. Finish and surface texture also affect the result, and the same match may look slightly warmer or cooler depending on sheen, substrate, and application thickness.

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Marshmallow (ICI) for spray-friendly projects like baskets, frames, shelving, small furniture accents, hardware, and other removable or decorative parts. Use it when you want the item to coordinate to the Marshmallow color reference, not when you need the original ICI paint product. For the best result, make sure the item can be cleaned, masked, and sprayed evenly.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much sheen you want the matched color to show. Higher gloss usually looks more reflective and can make surface flaws or prep issues easier to see, while lower gloss reduces shine and can be more forgiving. The Marshmallow color itself stays the target, but the finish can change the final look of the coating on the part you paint. If the item will be handled often, choose the finish that best fits durability and cleanup needs.
MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Marshmallow (ICI) can be used on many plastics, but plastic types vary and some need extra prep or primer. Test on the actual plastic first if the part is unfamiliar, flexible, glossy, or low-energy. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastics, but you should still verify the result on your specific substrate before coating the full item.
Clean the surface first to remove dirt, grease, and other contamination, then scuff-sand if the metal or old coating is smooth and sound. If there is rust, peeling paint, or a failing finish, address that before applying a match of Marshmallow (ICI), because the condition of the underlying surface can affect both adhesion and how the color reads. Gloss, texture, and age of the existing coating can also change the final appearance even when the color match is correct.
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or another known original reference for Marshmallow (ICI), not from a phone or monitor alone. MyPerfectColor is matching the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the actual Marshmallow target you want to reproduce. If you are matching to an existing painted part, verify that part against the original Marshmallow reference first, since aging and lighting can make a surface look different from the standard color.
MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Marshmallow in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.
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.

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 Marshmallow, 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.
