Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Roman Purple is a dark, muted purple with a cool blue undertone and a noticeable gray cast. It has low lightness, so the color reads deep rather than bright, and the moderate purple bias keeps it from looking flat black.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for smaller parts and accessories that need a subdued purple finish, such as speaker grilles, vent covers, switch plates, brackets, shelf supports, frames, railings, mailboxes, access panels, and other hardware that is easier to spray than brush. It can also work well on PVC trim pieces, removable fixtures, and painted metal or plastic components where a repeatable color match matters.

Because the color is deep and muted, finish and substrate can change how it reads. Light or uneven surfaces may need careful prep and additional coats for even coverage, while gloss level can make texture, seams, and surface repairs more noticeable. Film build also affects perceived depth, so the final appearance can shift with the amount of paint applied and the material underneath.
