A match of ICI Purple Haze reads as a dark, subdued purple with a cool lean and a slight blue-magenta cast. The low LRV points to a color that sits deep rather than bright, and the modest chroma keeps it from reading vivid or electric.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color reference can be used on speaker grilles, HVAC vents, switch plates, camera housings, shelf brackets, railings, trim hardware, mailbox parts, and other small components where a dark purple finish is wanted. It also fits painted accents on frames, baskets, accessories, and removable fixtures that need a repeatable match across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.
Because this is a dark color, substrate condition and sheen choice can change the final read. Lighter or uneven bases may need extra coats for even coverage, and gloss levels can make sanding marks, texture, or lap differences more noticeable. On exterior parts, the darker purple tone can also shift a bit with light and surface material.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Purple Haze *
What finish should I order for ICI Purple Haze 344879 if I want MyPerfectColor paint for my project?
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not on the color code alone. For a match of Purple Haze, a flatter finish will usually reduce reflection and can make the coated part read a little deeper, while a glossier finish will reflect more light and is easier to wipe clean.
If you are painting small parts, trim, vents, pipe, hardware, or removable fixtures, pick the sheen that best fits the wear, cleanup needs, and the look you want on the finished item.
Will lighting change how MyPerfectColor Purple Haze 344879 looks after it is applied?
Yes. Even when you order a match of Purple Haze, the finished item can look different after application because lighting, viewing angle, sheen, surface texture, and nearby colors all affect what the eye sees.
This matters most on parts that sit next to an existing painted surface or in a location with strong natural or artificial light. A new coating matched to Purple Haze is still a fresh surface, so it may not read exactly like an older, weathered, or faded finish.
Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor order for ICI Purple Haze 344879 if it is not the right match for my project?
Custom-made color matches are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering Purple Haze, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the finish, and the quantity you need.
That step is important because once the order is made, the match is custom mixed for your selected Purple Haze reference and cannot be sent back as a standard stock item.
How much area will MyPerfectColor Purple Haze 344879 cover?
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.
If you are coating rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces, plan for more material. Small parts, fixtures, and accessories may also need extra paint if you want even coverage of a match of Purple Haze.
When can I handle or recoat MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Purple Haze 344879?
Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different steps. Spray paint matched to Purple Haze is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.
Do not assume the part is ready for handling just because the surface feels dry. If the piece will be assembled, stacked, or installed soon after painting, allow the coating to reach the needed stage first.

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