A match of ICI Soothing Melody is a very light, low-chroma gray with a cool cast and a faint lavender undertone. It reads soft rather than bright, and the color sits close to off-white without becoming neutral enough to lose its subtle tint.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Soothing Melody can be useful on small parts and accessories that need a restrained finish, such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailboxes, PVC trim, shelf clips, or hardware. It can also work well on removable components, maker projects, and appliance-style details where a pale cool neutral helps the part coordinate with an existing painted surface.
Because this is a very light color, coverage can be more sensitive to the substrate underneath. Dark primers, uneven repairs, or porous surfaces may show through more easily and can take additional coats to even out. Finish, film build, and substrate type can also change how the cool undertone reads, especially on metal and plastic parts.

For spray paint matched to ICI Soothing Melody 345046, dry-to-touch can be within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for recoating or handling. Plan on recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, then wait longer before heavy handling, assembly, or packaging.
Full cure is typically about two weeks. Temperature, humidity, film thickness, and the substrate can all change these times, so treat them as general expectations rather than a guarantee for every project.
Custom-made MyPerfectColor matches of ICI Soothing Melody 345046 should be chosen carefully because they are made to your selected reference and are not returnable or refundable.
Before ordering, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That reduces the risk of ordering a match of Soothing Melody 345046 that does not fit the project.
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the color name alone. If you are ordering a match of ICI Soothing Melody 345046, look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to use.
MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Make sure you select the SDS that matches the paint type you ordered, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format.
Yes, but plastics and other difficult substrates can vary a lot, so test on the actual item first. A match of ICI Soothing Melody 345046 may look and perform differently depending on the plastic type, surface texture, and prep work.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is hard to coat. That matters for items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, switch covers, hardware, and other removable parts where spray application is practical.
Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how much cleanup it needs, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. The color code ICI Soothing Melody 345046 does not define sheen by itself.
Higher gloss levels are usually easier to wipe down and can make the finish look more reflective, while lower sheens reduce shine but may show less reflectivity. On a match of Soothing Melody 345046, the sheen you choose can change how the color reads on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Soothing Melody, 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.
