A match of ICI 799 Artifact reads as a light, warm yellow with a noticeable golden cast and moderate chroma. It is bright without being pale or washed out, and the color can shift a little toward earthy gold depending on sheen, substrate, and lighting.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on trim pieces, switch plates, vent grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, mailbox parts, hardware, baskets, and PVC trim where a clean yellow finish is needed on a small or awkward surface. It is also a practical choice for accessory parts, signage components, and other sprayable items that need a consistent color across metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces.
Because this is a lighter, more saturated yellow, coverage may be less efficient over dark or uneven substrates and could require extra coats for even hide. A smooth, uniform base can help the color read more consistently, and surface texture or gloss can make the golden undertone appear stronger or softer. Outdoor exposure can also be harder on vivid yellows than on quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 799 Artifact *
What surface prep should I do before ordering MyPerfectColor match of 799 Artifact by ICI?
For a better result, clean the surface first to remove dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination. If the item is smooth and the material allows it, a light scuff can help the coating bond better. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and if possible, test the color and adhesion on the actual surface before coating the full item.
This matters even with a match of 799 Artifact because prep affects how the finish lays down and how the color reads once applied.
Can I use MyPerfectColor match of 799 Artifact by ICI on plastic parts?
Plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual plastic before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can improve when you use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel. A primer is especially helpful if the plastic is slick, flexible, or previously coated.
If you are painting a PVC pipe, vent, cover, grille, or another plastic part, confirm the material first and do a test spray so you can verify adhesion and appearance before committing to the whole item.
Before I order 799 Artifact by ICI, what should I confirm since the MyPerfectColor match is custom made?
Before ordering a custom-made match of 799 Artifact, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid ordering the wrong format or finish for your project.
Custom color orders are made to your selected reference and are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details before you place the order.
How do I choose a sheen for MyPerfectColor match of 799 Artifact by ICI?
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are typically easier to clean and can look more reflective.
Keep in mind that gloss level changes how a match of 799 Artifact appears once it is applied, so the same color can read differently in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes.
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor match of 799 Artifact by ICI?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. To find the right safety information for a match of 799 Artifact, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.
If you are unsure which SDS applies, match the SDS to the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to buy, since spray paint and other product types can have different safety documentation.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 799 Artifact in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 799 Artifact, 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.
