A match of ICI Vertigo reads as a light yellow-green with a distinct lime undertone and a fairly clear, active appearance. It is not a muted olive and not a soft pastel gray-green; the color has enough chroma to stay noticeably green-yellow, while the high lightness keeps it from feeling deep or heavy.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on small parts and accessories where a controlled, repeatable finish matters. It is a practical choice for vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving hardware, frames, mailbox parts, railings, shutters, and similar sprayable components made from metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because this is a light, fairly chromatic color, substrate and coverage can affect the final look. Darker or uneven surfaces may show through more readily than they would with a deeper color, so even prep and steady film build matter. The final appearance can also shift with sheen; a glossier finish may make the color look cleaner and more reflective, while a flatter finish can soften the same match.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Vertigo *
Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Vertigo on plastic, and do I need primer?
Plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion. If the part is smooth, flexible, or unfamiliar, a test spray is the safest way to confirm that a match of ICI Vertigo will perform well on that specific surface.
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Vertigo?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Vertigo color name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product format you plan to order. If you are comparing formats, make sure the SDS matches that specific MyPerfectColor product, since the chemistry can differ by format.
How should I spray MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Vertigo for a smoother finish?
Use light, even coats from a consistent distance and overlap each pass slightly. Avoid heavy passes, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build of the Vertigo color. Several thin coats usually give better control than one wet coat, especially on small parts, trim pieces, and detailed items.
What prep should I do before applying a match of ICI Vertigo to metal or an existing coating?
Clean the surface to remove dirt, oil, and loose material, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating can grip. Check for rust, peeling paint, or contamination, since those conditions can affect adhesion and the final look. The condition of the old coating, including gloss and texture, can change how a match of Vertigo appears after painting.
Is MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Vertigo a good option for trim, fixtures, and other small parts?
Yes, custom spray paint is often the practical choice for trim details, vents, pipes, hardware, railings, accessories, and other items that are awkward to coat with a brush. It is also useful when you need a repeatable match of Vertigo across small removable parts or mixed materials. Choose the format that fits the object and make sure the surface is prepared for the substrate.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Vertigo in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Vertigo, 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.
