Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of ICI Peking Orange is a warm, medium-deep orange-brown with red and brown influence. It reads grounded rather than bright, with moderate chroma and an earthy cast that keeps it from looking clean or citrusy. The LRV of 22.19 points to a relatively dark color once it is applied as a finish.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be a practical way to coat removable or detailed parts that are difficult to brush. It suits metal brackets, railings, mailboxes, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, light fixture parts, shelving supports, PVC fittings, and furniture accents, as well as shutters or small hardware pieces that need the same warm orange-brown reference across multiple materials.

Because this is a deeper, more saturated color, surface condition and finish will affect how it reads. A smooth gloss surface can make it look stronger and more color-saturated, while a flatter finish will soften the orange and emphasize the brown undertone. It is dark enough that show-through is usually less of a concern than with pale colors, but a strong contrast can still influence the first coats. Outdoor exposure can also reduce the apparent richness of a stronger orange over time, so finish choice and film build matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Peking Orange *

Can I return MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Peking Orange if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Peking Orange is made to your order, so confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before buying. Custom-matched orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking those details before you submit the order. If you need more than one item, make sure every piece is being ordered from the same Peking Orange reference.

What prep is needed before spraying a match of ICI Peking Orange on metal or an existing coating?

When you apply a match of ICI Peking Orange to metal or an existing coating, clean off dirt, grease, and contamination first, then scuff any sound glossy surface so the new coating can bite. If you see rust, peeling paint, soft spots, or other coating failure, remove or repair that area before painting. Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can all change how Peking Orange looks after it dries, so test on the actual part when the finish must be consistent.

Can MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Peking Orange be used on plastics or other low energy surfaces?

Plastics and other low energy surfaces can vary a lot, so test a match of ICI Peking Orange on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult pieces. Clean the part first and make sure the surface is fully prepared so you can judge whether the coating is sticking and looking as expected.

Is MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Peking Orange a good option for switch covers, knobs, vents, or speaker grilles?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Peking Orange is a practical option for switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar small parts. Spray paint is usually the best fit when you want a smooth, durable finish on removable or awkward pieces that are easier to coat outside the installed area.

How do I choose the right sheen for MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Peking Orange?

Sheen affects both appearance and use. When ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Peking Orange, remember that the color reference does not tell you whether the item should be glossy, satin, or flatter. Higher gloss usually cleans more easily and looks more reflective, while lower gloss can reduce shine and may hide minor surface marks better. Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how close it needs to look to the surrounding painted surface.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Peking Orange in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Peking Orange, 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.

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.
