This is a light, muted blue with a cool, slightly gray-green cast. The low chroma keeps it from reading bright or primary, while the pale value gives it a soft, airy appearance rather than a deep or saturated one.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access panels, mailboxes, railings, light fixtures, brackets, shelving supports, and PVC trim pieces when you need a coordinated finish on small parts or removable hardware. It also works well for baskets, frames, cabinet pulls, and furniture accents where spray application is more practical than brushing.

Because the color is fairly light and subdued, it is generally easier to cover than a vivid color, but the result can still shift with substrate color, texture, and sheen. Darker or uneven surfaces may show through more readily, and a glossier finish can make the blue read cleaner and slightly deeper. Careful surface prep and even film build help keep the match consistent across metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1473 Aristocratic *

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1473 Aristocratic on switch covers, vents, knobs, or other small parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1473 Aristocratic is a practical choice for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. Spray application is often the easiest way to coat these parts evenly and get a smooth, professional-looking finish.

For the best result, make sure the item is clean, properly prepared, and suitable for spray application. If the part is removable, that usually makes it easier to coat all sides and reduce visible edges or missed spots.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI 1473 Aristocratic?

Before ordering ICI 1473 Aristocratic as a MyPerfectColor custom match, confirm the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original ICI paint product.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the target color and the order details before you buy. If you are matching a specific part or project, confirm that the reference you are using is the right one for that item.

Will MyPerfectColor match of ICI 1473 Aristocratic look the same on every item after it is applied?

Not always. Even when the color match is correct, ICI 1473 Aristocratic can read differently after application depending on lighting, placement, sheen, surface texture, and the colors of nearby materials. A painted sample can look different on a flat panel than it does on a vent, bracket, or textured part.

If the finished item will sit beside an existing painted surface, those visual differences matter more. For that kind of project, it is smart to check the full setup, not just the color name, before you commit to the final application.

How do I confirm the right ICI 1473 Aristocratic color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm ICI 1473 Aristocratic from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference whenever possible. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure the target reference is the one you actually want.

Screen viewing alone can be misleading because monitors and phone displays can shift color appearance. If you already have a painted part or a sample from the original brand, use that reference to verify the color before placing the order.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but your actual coverage for ICI 1473 Aristocratic depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, spray technique, and how many coats you need.

If the part is textured, porous, or darker than the final color, plan for more paint than the bare square footage suggests. It is usually better to order with enough room for test spraying and full coverage than to come up short during the project.
