A match of ICI Scottsdale Brown reads as a very dark brown with a muted red-brown undertone. The low chroma keeps it from looking bright or orange, while the low LRV makes it appear near-black in shadow and on small parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for railings, downspouts, mailboxes, vent covers, switch plates, brackets, shelf supports, speaker grilles, and other small metal or plastic parts where a dark brown finish is needed. It can also be used on shutters, hardware, frames, and exterior accessories when the goal is to carry the same brown onto removable or hard-to-match items.

Because this is a very dark color, surface preparation and finish choice matter. Scratches, texture, sanding marks, and sheen changes can be easier to see once the paint dries, especially on glossy or uneven substrates. If you are coating a lighter surface, use enough film build for even coverage and allow each coat to dry before adding the next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Scottsdale Brown *

What kinds of projects work well with MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Scottsdale Brown 344981?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Scottsdale Brown 344981 is especially useful for small or awkward items that are hard to coat neatly with a brush. Good fits include trim details, vents, pipes, railings, hardware, fixtures, brackets, and removable parts that need to coordinate with a known color reference.

If the part is metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item, make sure the surface is properly prepared before spraying. The color reference is Scottsdale Brown, but the final result still depends on the item shape, substrate, and finish you choose.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Scottsdale Brown 344981?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Scottsdale Brown color name alone. For MyPerfectColor products matched to ICI Scottsdale Brown 344981, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format or coating type, check the SDS for that specific product, since the safety information can vary by chemistry.

Will ICI Scottsdale Brown 344981 look the same if I order it in a different finish from MyPerfectColor?

Not always. The same color match can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how much light is reflected and how deep the color appears on the finished item.

If you need Scottsdale Brown 344981 for a part that sits beside another painted surface, the finish choice matters as much as the color match itself. A change in sheen can make the result look different even when the color formula is the same.

How should I choose a finish for MyPerfectColor Scottsdale Brown 344981 spray paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color name. For MyPerfectColor Scottsdale Brown 344981, a flatter finish usually reduces shine, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the same color appear deeper or more vivid.

If durability, cleanup, or appearance under bright light matters for your project, the finish is part of the ordering decision. The right choice depends on the object, substrate, and the look you need after application.

What spray technique helps MyPerfectColor Scottsdale Brown 344981 go on more evenly?

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the coating builds gradually. That approach helps MyPerfectColor Scottsdale Brown 344981 lay down more smoothly and reduces the risk of runs, uneven sheen, or heavy spots.

Apply from a consistent distance and overlap passes slightly so the finish stays uniform across the part. For the best result, prepare the surface well first, especially on small parts, hardware, vents, or other objects where a heavy pass can show quickly.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Scottsdale Brown in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Scottsdale Brown, 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.
