Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI True Teal is a dark blue-green with a cool lean and noticeable gray softness. With an LRV of 10.42 and moderate chroma, it reads deep rather than bright, with the blue side slightly stronger than the green.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be a practical way to finish vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access panels, railings, mailboxes, brackets, and painted hardware where a small sprayed part needs to coordinate with an existing ICI color reference. It also fits PVC trim pieces, shutter hardware, shelving brackets, frames, and other removable components that are easier to coat evenly by spray than by brush.

Because this is a relatively dark color, surface condition and finish can influence the final read. Sheen changes, texture, and film build may make the color look deeper, flatter, or slightly lighter than expected, and contrasting substrates can show through until enough even coats are applied. Careful preparation matters on metal, plastic, and previously coated parts, especially when the new finish will sit close to an existing painted surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ True Teal *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor True Teal, ICI, for the smoothest result?

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so you do not lay down heavy passes. Hold a consistent distance from the part and overlap each pass slightly to help the color build evenly.

For True Teal, which is a deeper color match, heavy spraying can lead to runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. Several thin coats are usually safer than one wet coat, especially on small parts, trim pieces, fixtures, or accessories.

Do I need primer before ordering MyPerfectColor True Teal, ICI?

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint format you choose. On sound, previously coated surfaces, primer may not be required, but on bare, repaired, uneven, or porous materials it can improve adhesion and help the finish build more consistently.

A general rule is that primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always necessary. If you are unsure, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to use for True Teal.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right MyPerfectColor True Teal, ICI match?

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or another known original brand reference, not from a screen alone. Screen color can shift with display settings, lighting, and viewing angle.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected ICI True Teal color reference. Before ordering, make sure the reference you are using is the exact True Teal you want, because the code by itself does not describe sheen, product line, or the look of an aged painted surface.

Can I use MyPerfectColor True Teal, ICI on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep and primer choice can change the result.

If the part is plastic, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion before applying a match of True Teal. Test the system on a hidden area first if the item is critical, since different plastics can react differently.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor True Teal, ICI?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the True Teal color name alone. If you need safety information before use, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

That is the right place to verify handling, storage, and safety details for the specific MyPerfectColor paint matched to True Teal.

How many spray cans of the ICI True Teal should I get?

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI True Teal which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish.

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

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI True Teal, 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.
