A match of ICI Orange Canteloupe is a light, warm orange with a noticeable yellow-peach undertone. It reads clear and moderately strong rather than muted, with enough brightness to feel lively without moving into a deep or rusty orange.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts and details where this color needs to be repeated cleanly: shutters, mailboxes, vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf edges, hardware, trim pieces, and other removable fixtures. It is also practical for baskets, frames, accessory panels, and similar sprayable objects that need a consistent orange accent across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because this is a lighter, fairly vivid orange, coverage can be more dependent on the surface underneath. Dark, uneven, or heavily contrasted substrates may show through more easily at first, so additional coats may be needed for even color. The final reading will also shift with finish and film build: a glossier application can make the color look a bit stronger, while a flatter finish can soften it slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Orange Canteloupe *
How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Orange Canteloupe 344773 take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?
For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Orange Canteloupe 344773, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks.
Those are practical milestones, not the same thing. A piece may feel dry enough to handle lightly before it is ready for heavy use, stacking, or assembly. Temperature, humidity, film build, and the substrate can all affect the actual timing.
Why can MyPerfectColor's match of Orange Canteloupe 344773 look different after it is applied?
Once a match of Orange Canteloupe 344773 is applied, the finished appearance can shift with lighting, sheen, surface texture, and the color of nearby materials. The same matched paint can read differently on a flat panel, a curved part, or a surface next to other painted items.
If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, expect some visual change even when the color match is correct. For the lowest risk, evaluate the finished part in the actual location and under the lighting it will have in use.
Do I need primer before applying MyPerfectColor Orange Canteloupe 344773?
Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint system being used. For a match of Orange Canteloupe 344773, a primer is not always required, but it never hurts and can improve adhesion.
Primer is especially worth considering on bare material, repaired areas, glossy surfaces, or difficult substrates. If you are painting PVC pipe, vents, trim pieces, hardware, or other small parts, proper prep and a suitable primer can help the finish hold up better.
How do I choose a sheen for MyPerfectColor Orange Canteloupe 344773?
Choose the sheen for Orange Canteloupe 344773 based on how the part will be used, not just how you want the color to look. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can hide surface variation better, while higher sheen finishes are generally easier to wipe clean and can be more durable on some projects.
Sheen also changes how the color reads. A glossier finish can make a matched color appear brighter or more reflective, while a flatter finish can make it look more muted. If the item is a trim piece, fixture, grille, or accessory, pick the finish that fits the wear, cleanup, and appearance needs of that specific part.
Can MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Orange Canteloupe 344773 be used on plastic parts?
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Orange Canteloupe 344773 can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important. Some plastics need different prep or a primer to get reliable adhesion.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on challenging surfaces. This is useful for items such as PVC pipe, vents, switch covers, grilles, or other removable parts where spray application is practical and a repeatable color match matters.

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