Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Wild Water is a deep blue-green with a cool cast and moderate chroma. With an LRV of 5.7, it reads dark rather than bright, and the green note keeps it from becoming a plain navy. The color has a subdued, slightly teal character instead of a clear, highly saturated blue.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on small parts and accessories where this darker blue-green needs to be applied cleanly. Common spray-paint uses include metal railings, mailbox parts, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, shelf hardware, PVC trim pieces, and furniture accents. It can also work on shutters, fixtures, and removable components that need to carry the same color reference across different materials.

Because this is a dark color, the final appearance can shift with substrate, texture, and sheen. Surface prep matters, and lighter or uneven bases may affect how many coats are needed for even coverage. On glossy finishes, surface marks and film variation can be easier to see, so consistent application and cure conditions are useful.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Wild Water *

How do I confirm Wild Water by ICI before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Wild Water from ICI using a physical swatch, a printed color card, or another known original reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not reliable for approving the target color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference. That means the color you approve should be the real Wild Water reference, not the way it appears on a monitor or on an aged painted surface.

Can Wild Water by ICI be ordered as spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor items?

Yes. Wild Water by ICI can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, accents, and other small items where spray application is practical.

This is a good fit when the goal is to coordinate a part or accessory to a known paint color. Make sure the item is properly prepared for the material you are coating so the Wild Water match applies evenly and adheres well.

Will Wild Water by ICI look different if I change the finish when ordering a match?

Yes. The same Wild Water color reference can read differently in matte, satin, semigloss, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the painted surface.

If you are matching a nearby item or want the finished piece to blend with an existing look, the finish choice matters as much as the color match itself. MyPerfectColor matches the selected Wild Water color reference, but the final appearance still depends on the sheen you choose.

What spray application tips help Wild Water by ICI look more even on my project?

Use light, even coats rather than trying to cover in one heavy pass. Heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build-up, especially with a color like Wild Water where film thickness can affect the final look.

Keep the application consistent, overlap passes evenly, and follow the can directions for distance, recoat time, and dry time. Good surface prep and controlled spray technique usually matter more than trying to lay down a thick first coat.

How do I choose the right sheen for Wild Water by ICI when ordering a MyPerfectColor product?

Choose sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Lower sheen options usually hide surface texture better, while higher sheen options reflect more light and can be easier to wipe down.

For a MyPerfectColor match of Wild Water, the finish you select will affect how the color reads on the final part. If the item will sit near another painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible to reduce visible differences.

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

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Wild Water, 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.
