A match of ICI Nova White is a very light off-white with a soft cool cast and extremely low chroma. It reads as a pale, quiet white rather than a bright, stark white, with a faint blue-gray note that can shift a little with finish, lighting, and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful for small parts that need a pale white finish without reading pure white: vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, trim caps, brackets, railings, cabinet hardware, shelf supports, and mailbox parts. It also works for plastic, metal, wood, and previously coated pieces when proper prep and a sprayable format are important.

Because this is a very light color, coverage over dark, stained, or uneven surfaces may take extra coats to level out the underlying color. Surface texture, film build, and sheen can all change how the cool cast appears, and glossier finishes tend to make seams, scratches, and repair edges more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Nova White *

Where can I find the SDS for ICI Nova White?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the ICI Nova White color name alone. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of ICI Nova White, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for that specific product chemistry to get the correct document. That is the right place to confirm handling, storage, and safety information before you order or use the paint.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Nova White do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, 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 usually cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

Measure the area you plan to coat, then add extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. That is the safest way to order enough MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Nova White without running short.

Why can MyPerfectColor ICI Nova White look different after it is applied?

Even when the match is correct, the finished look can change with lighting, sheen, placement, and the nearby surfaces around it. A match of ICI Nova White can also read differently on different substrates because texture and film build affect how the eye sees the color.

If you need to judge the result, view the applied MyPerfectColor match of ICI Nova White on the actual item and in the lighting where it will be used. That gives a better expectation than a screen view or a different painted surface.

When is MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Nova White useful?

It is a practical choice for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are awkward to coat with a brush. A spray format can help you apply a match of ICI Nova White evenly on small or removable items.

This is especially useful when you need consistent color on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts after proper preparation. If the item has edges, openings, or complex shapes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Nova White is often the easier application method.

Do I need primer before using MyPerfectColor ICI Nova White paint?

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint format you choose. A primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always necessary.

Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, especially if the surface is bare, glossy, porous, damaged, or made from a difficult material. Using the right primer can help a match of ICI Nova White apply more evenly and perform better.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Nova White in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Nova White, 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.
