A match of ICI Mercury Shower is a deep, muted mauve-plum with a gray cast. The color sits in the darker range and reads soft rather than clear, with low saturation and a slightly cool red-violet undertone.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful when you need that subdued tone on sprayable parts and details. It can be applied to HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, frames, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, or furniture accents where a darker mauve-plum finish needs to carry across a smaller component.
Because the color is fairly deep and low-chroma, surface condition and film build can affect how it reads. Thin coverage may leave lighter edges or reveal the substrate, while smooth prep and even coats help the color appear more uniform. On plastic, metal, or previously coated parts, the existing sheen and texture can change the apparent depth of the match, and adjacent aged paint may still read differently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Mercury Shower *
Can I return a MyPerfectColor match of ICI Mercury Shower 344681 if the color is not what I expected?
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made for ICI Mercury Shower 344681 is made to order, so it should be chosen carefully before you buy. These custom color orders are generally not returnable or refundable, so confirm the brand reference, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before placing the order.
If you are matching Mercury Shower 344681 for a specific part or surface, make sure the order details fit that project first. That is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong custom paint.
How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Mercury Shower 344681 do I need for my project?
Coverage for a match of ICI Mercury Shower 344681 depends on the size of the surface, how textured it is, how well the coating hides, the application method, and how many coats you need.
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but real coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark substrates. If you are coating a surface that may need extra hiding, plan for additional material.
Do I need primer before applying ICI Mercury Shower 344681 matched paint?
Whether you need primer for ICI Mercury Shower 344681 depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you order. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.
Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are using. Primer is especially worth considering on bare, glossy, porous, damaged, or otherwise difficult surfaces.
What is the best way to spray MyPerfectColor Mercury Shower 344681 for a smoother finish?
For spray application of ICI Mercury Shower 344681, use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can at a steady distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the motion moving so the paint does not build up in one spot.
Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look in the color build. Let each coat dry according to the product directions before applying the next coat.
How do I choose the right sheen for ICI Mercury Shower 344681 when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Choose the sheen for ICI Mercury Shower 344681 based on the item's use, the durability you need, how easy you want cleanup to be, and how much reflectivity you want in the finished coating. The sheen you choose can change how the matched color looks on the final surface.
Lower sheens usually reduce reflection and can be more forgiving on surface flaws. Higher sheens reflect more light and can make texture or application marks more visible. Pick the finish that fits the item and the product instructions, not just the color name alone.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Mercury Shower in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Mercury Shower, 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.
