A match of ICI Summer Showers is a light blue-green with a cool, airy feel and low saturation. It reads more soft and muted than bright, with a slight gray cast that keeps the color from looking sharp or tropical. The high LRV points to a light overall appearance once applied.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can suit vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, shelving brackets, railings, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, and small furniture accents. The pale blue-green tone is useful when a part needs a lighter, quieter finish rather than a strong accent color, especially on metal, plastic, or previously coated pieces that can be sprayed after proper prep.

Because the color is light and low-chroma, surface variation can still show if the substrate is dark, uneven, or patchy, so prep and coverage matter. Finish also changes the read of the color: a glossier application may make the blue-green look a little clearer, while a flatter finish can soften it further. Apply enough film build for even hiding, especially on contrasting substrates.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Summer Showers *

How does finish affect MyPerfectColor Summer Showers by ICI after it is applied?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of Summer Showers can look lighter, deeper, or more muted depending on sheen. If you are coating an item that already has an existing finish, try to choose a finish that is as close as possible to the surface you are painting so the result reads more consistently.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of ICI Summer Showers in its own paint product, so the finish you order is a practical coating choice, not just a style choice.

Can I return a custom-made MyPerfectColor match of ICI Summer Showers if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-made paint matches are chosen to your selected color reference, finish, and amount before they are made, so you should confirm those details carefully before placing the order. If you need a match of ICI Summer Showers, verify the exact color target, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity first.

Once a custom color order is made, it should be treated as a final purchase, so the safest approach is to check everything before checkout rather than after the paint is mixed.

How do I confirm the correct ICI Summer Showers color reference before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Summer Showers from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or another reliable original brand reference rather than from a phone or monitor alone. Screen viewing can shift the color enough to cause an ordering mistake.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected ICI color reference, not the original ICI paint product, so the most important step is making sure the Summer Showers reference you approve is the one you actually want matched.

Will MyPerfectColor Summer Showers by ICI work on plastics and other difficult surfaces?

Plastics vary a lot, so a match of ICI Summer Showers may need different prep depending on the exact material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is the best way to reduce risk before painting the full item.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for this type of application. Good cleaning and surface prep matter because the substrate can affect how the color bonds and how the finished Summer Showers match reads.

What spray technique should I use with MyPerfectColor Summer Showers by ICI for the best result?

Use light, even coats and keep a steady spray distance so the match of Summer Showers builds gradually. Overlapping passes help avoid striping, while heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a color build that looks different from the target.

This is especially important on small parts, trim, hardware, and plastic pieces where a paint match can look inconsistent if the coating is applied too wet or too fast.

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

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Summer Showers, 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.
