A match of Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations reads as a light, low-chroma neutral with a beige-gray base and a soft warm yellow undertone. It is muted rather than crisp, so it tends to look quiet and slightly earthy instead of bright or sharp.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shelf brackets, picture frames, railings, baskets, and other small pieces where a restrained neutral finish is needed. It is also practical for PVC trim pieces, hardware, and removable fixtures that need to coordinate with a known brand color target without changing the underlying material or shape.

Because this is a light color, coverage over dark, patterned, or uneven substrates can take more than one coat, especially on plastic or previously coated parts. Finish and film build can shift how warm or gray the color reads, and spray application can make texture or surface flaws more noticeable on smooth metal or glossy surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 973 Ice Formations *

What kinds of projects are a good fit for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations is a practical choice for small, awkward, or removable items that are hard to coat neatly with a brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar parts where spray application is more efficient than brushing.

It is a match of Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations made in MyPerfectColor paint, not the original Benjamin Moore paint product.

How fast does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations dry, and when can I recoat it?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan on recoating in 1 to 2 hours, but treat that as a separate step from final cure.

The coating is usually ready for full handling in about two weeks. If you handle or stack parts too early, the finish can mark before it has fully cured.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, so small fixtures may need only one can while larger or more detailed projects may need more.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or uneven surface, or if you expect multiple coats, plan extra product so you do not run short before the job is complete.

What prep should I do before spraying Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations on metal or over an existing coating?

Before applying MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations, clean the surface well, make sure it is dry, and remove rust, dirt, grease, and other contamination. If you are spraying over an existing coating, scuff the surface so the new paint has something to grip.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, and any peeling or damage can affect adhesion and the final appearance, so loose material should be removed before painting.

Can I spray Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations on plastic, and should I use primer?

Plastics vary a lot, so it is important to test MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can improve when you use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel on difficult surfaces.

If the plastic is unfamiliar or the part is important, primer is the safer choice because different plastics can react very differently to paint and surface prep.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 973 Ice Formations in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
