MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color reference for Morocco Red is a dark, muted red with a brown-leaning, warm undertone. With low light reflectance and modest chroma, it reads as an earthy red-brown rather than a clear or vivid red, and it can look deeper once it is applied in a fuller film or different finish.
This color suits spray-painted parts where a subdued red-brown needs to be carried across small surfaces: vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and trim pieces. It is also practical for maker projects and replacement parts such as frames, baskets, knobs, and furniture accents when a repeatable matched color is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items after proper prep.
Because the color is relatively dark, surface prep and film build can affect the final read. Scratches, texture, and sheen differences may stand out more than they would in a lighter color, especially on small parts or when coating one item beside an older painted surface. On contrasting substrates, coverage can change the apparent depth until the coating is fully built.
Finish also changes how this color behaves. A flatter finish will keep it quieter and more muted, while a glossier finish can make the brown-red undertone look richer and make surface imperfections more noticeable.

For spray paint matched to Morocco Red (ICI color 344717), dry-to-touch is usually within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before heavy handling or service.
If the item will be stacked, mounted, or installed soon after painting, give the film extra time so the finish is less likely to mark or print.
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Morocco Red color name alone. Use the Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are buying: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
If you order a match of ICI Morocco Red in a different format, check the SDS for that exact product format so you have the right safety information before use.
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe down and can look more reflective, while a flatter finish reduces shine but may be less durable in high-contact use.
With Morocco Red, the sheen also changes how the color reads on the finished item, so the same match can look different in matte, satin, or gloss. If the part will be handled often or cleaned often, favor the finish that fits that use case first.
Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dust, grease, and any loose coating before painting Morocco Red, and use light scuffing where the surface type calls for better adhesion. Mask off areas you do not want coated, especially on hardware, trim pieces, vents, or removable parts.
Because the right prep depends on the substrate, it is smart to test the coating on the actual item before painting the full piece. That is especially useful on plastic, metal, or previously coated surfaces.
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the Morocco Red project needs. As a planning guide, a typical spray paint can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.
If the surface is textured, porous, dark, or requires multiple coats, plan for more product so you do not run short before the job is finished.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Morocco Red, 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.
