Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

This is a dark, cool-leaning green with a blue component that keeps it from reading yellow or olive. It has enough chroma to stay clearly green, while the low lightness gives it a grounded, subdued look rather than a bright or vivid one.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is well suited to sprayable parts and fixtures such as vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, railings, brackets, shutters, mailboxes, frame stock, shelving, and hardware. It can also be used on PVC, metal, wood, and previously coated accessories when you need a repeatable green on small parts that are easier to finish off the wall or off the structure.

Because this is a dark, saturated color, finish and substrate can change how it reads. Smooth or glossy surfaces may make sheen differences and surface flaws more visible, and uneven prep can stand out at the edges or on patchy substrates. Thin coats and solid surface preparation usually help the color build evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Shamrock *

Can I order Shamrock by ICI as custom spray paint for baskets, frames, shelving, or other craft accessories?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Shamrock by ICI for projects like baskets, frames, shelving accents, decor pieces, and other small items where spray application is practical.

This is a MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not the original ICI paint. If the item has a smooth finish or an existing coating, proper cleaning and prep will help the color read more evenly after application.

Where do I find the SDS for Shamrock by ICI from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the actual MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not to the Shamrock by ICI color name alone. If you need the SDS for the MyPerfectColor paint matched to Shamrock by ICI, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

That is the correct place to check safety information for the specific MyPerfectColor product format you plan to buy.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Shamrock by ICI?

Before ordering a custom match of Shamrock by ICI, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color orders are made to your selected reference, so it is important to review those details before checkout.

Also remember that a custom color match is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not the original ICI paint product.

What prep is needed before applying Shamrock by ICI to metal or an existing coating?

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. The condition of the old coating, including gloss and texture, can affect how Shamrock by ICI looks after it is applied.

If the part is aged, damaged, or uneven, the final appearance may differ from the reference color because substrate condition and surface prep can change how the finish reads.

How does finish affect how Shamrock by ICI looks after painting?

Finish changes reflectivity, so the same Shamrock by ICI color can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. This is not just a style choice; it is a product-selection factor that affects how the matched coating reads on the finished item.

If you are matching an existing painted part, choose the sheen carefully because a sheen mismatch can make the color appear different even when the color formula is correct.

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

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Shamrock, 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.
