Match of ICI™ Parisian Purple *

Confirm ICI Parisian Purple from a physical swatch, original brand chip, or a known existing painted item rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the order is based on the target color you approve, not on how it appears on a monitor.

If you are matching a part that is already painted, compare it under the lighting where it will be used and make sure you are targeting ICI Parisian Purple itself before ordering.

No. The same match of ICI Parisian Purple can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects from the surface. Even when the color formula is the same, the final appearance can look lighter, deeper, or more reflective after application.

If you need the finished item to coordinate with nearby parts, choose the finish that best fits the project, since finish is part of how the color will be seen in use.

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so test on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is difficult or unknown.

This matters for items like PVC pipe, vents, covers, grilles, fixtures, or other plastic parts where the surface may not behave like metal or wood. Clean and prep the part first, then test a small area to confirm adhesion and appearance.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. As a general planning guide, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating rough, porous, or dark surfaces with a match of ICI Parisian Purple, plan for extra material because the first coat may not fully hide the base color.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just on the color name. A match of ICI Parisian Purple can be ordered in different finishes, and the sheen changes durability, cleanup, and how the color reads on the finished item.

If the piece will be handled often, exposed to moisture, or installed where glare matters, finish selection is a practical ordering decision. The same ICI Parisian Purple color can look noticeably different once the finish changes.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Parisian Purple 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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI Parisian Purple which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Parisian Purple, 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.
