This MyPerfectColor match of 1527 Blue Heron from ICI is a dark, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and low chroma. It reads subdued rather than bright, with enough blue to be noticeable but enough gray to keep it restrained.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, PVC trim pieces, shelving, basket frames, and other small parts where a darker blue-gray needs to look coordinated. Its quiet character suits removable fixtures and accessories that need a finished appearance without drawing extra attention.
Because the color is fairly dark, finish and substrate can change the way it reads. Gloss usually makes it look deeper and a little cleaner, while flatter finishes soften the blue and emphasize the gray. On textured or repaired surfaces, surface condition and film build can remain visible, so careful prep matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1527 Blue Heron *
If I order MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 1527 Blue Heron, what should I confirm first because it is a custom-made color order?
Before ordering a match of ICI 1527 Blue Heron, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-matched colors are made to order, so they should be chosen carefully before purchase.
Once a custom color match is made, it is not returnable or refundable, so it is worth verifying those details up front.
Why can MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 1527 Blue Heron look different after it is applied?
Even after you choose a match of ICI 1527 Blue Heron, the finished appearance can change based on lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and the surfaces nearby. The same color can read differently on a wall, a trim piece, a fixture, or a small part next to an existing painted area.
This is normal for any matched coating, so if the item will sit next to an older surface, plan for some visual difference in age, sheen, or texture even when the color match itself is correct.
Which sheen should I choose for MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 1527 Blue Heron?
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheens reduce shine and can be less revealing on surface flaws, while higher sheens reflect more light and can make the color read a little differently on the finished item.
For a match of ICI 1527 Blue Heron, the sheen is part of the order because it affects both appearance and practical performance such as cleaning and wear.
How do I confirm the correct ICI 1527 Blue Heron reference before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
Confirm ICI 1527 Blue Heron from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. Screens can shift the color and make the target harder to verify.
MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure ICI 1527 Blue Heron is the exact color you want before you place the order.
What kinds of projects are a good fit for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1527 Blue Heron?
Custom spray paint matched to ICI 1527 Blue Heron is a practical option for parts that are awkward to brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small components. It is also useful when you want removable or separate parts to coordinate with an existing painted environment.
It can be used on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated surfaces when the surface is properly prepared for the coating system being used.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1527 Blue Heron in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1527 Blue Heron, 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.
