Match of ICI™ 868 Candlelight *

Custom-made paint matched to ICI 868 Candlelight should be ordered carefully because custom color orders are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

If the match will be used on a project with other existing parts, double-check the reference before placing the order so you do not end up with the wrong color, finish, or amount.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the ICI 868 Candlelight color name alone. You should review the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use.

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface, then use light scuffing where appropriate to help the coating grip. Mask off areas that should not be painted and test the finish on the actual item before doing the full part.

Good prep matters more on metal, plastic, and older coated surfaces because poor cleaning or weak adhesion can affect how a match of ICI 868 Candlelight looks and holds up after application.

Sheen changes how light reflects off the surface, so the same match of ICI 868 Candlelight can look different in matte, satin, or gloss finishes. Finish also affects how the color reads on different substrates and textures.

If you are matching a specific part, choose the finish that best fits the object and the surrounding surfaces, because a finish change can make the color appear lighter, darker, or less even even when the color match itself is correct.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 868 Candlelight, 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.
