A match of ICI 1620 Curtain Call is a very dark, low-chroma gray with a subtle cool violet-plum cast. It reads close to charcoal, but the color has a faint colored undertone rather than a flat neutral black-gray appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, hardware, and other small metal, plastic, or wood pieces where a deep neutral needs to stay consistent across different components. It can also work on shutters, shelving supports, fixture covers, and small trim pieces when the goal is a coordinated dark finish on spray-friendly parts.
Because this color has a low LRV, finish and surface condition matter. Dark, muted colors can make texture, sheen changes, and edge buildup more noticeable, and uneven film build may show more clearly on light or patchy substrates. A sound, even base helps the color read uniformly and keeps the subtle violet cast from shifting toward a flatter charcoal look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1620 Curtain Call *
How do I confirm that ICI 1620 Curtain Call is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm ICI 1620 Curtain Call from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the most reliable way to avoid ordering the wrong color is to verify the target against the original brand standard before you buy.
If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, sheen, and surface condition can affect how that surface looks today. The order should be based on the color reference you want MyPerfectColor to match, not on a faded or altered finish.
Can I order MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1620 Curtain Call for switch covers, vents, and hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1620 Curtain Call is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items where a smooth sprayed finish is useful.
This is especially helpful when you want the color on a removable or awkwardly shaped part to coordinate with a larger painted surface. The product is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the ICI color reference, not the original ICI paint line.
How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1620 Curtain Call should I order for my project?
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding is needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, so small parts usually require far less than a large panel or full surface.
If you are coating a darker, rough, or uneven substrate, plan for extra material because more than one coat may be needed to get an even result. For larger projects, the estimate is different from other paint formats, which often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.
Will ICI 1620 Curtain Call look the same after MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is applied in different lighting?
The matched color can still appear different after application depending on lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. Even when the MyPerfectColor match to ICI 1620 Curtain Call is correct, those conditions can change how the finished item reads in the real space.
This matters most on parts that sit close to other painted surfaces or that are viewed under changing light. If the item is important to a match-sensitive project, make sure the color reference was confirmed before ordering and expect the installed appearance to be influenced by the final environment.
What should I check before ordering a custom match of ICI 1620 Curtain Call, since it cannot be returned?
Before ordering a custom match of ICI 1620 Curtain Call, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen you need, and the quantity you expect to use. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify those details first.
This is especially important if you are choosing between spray paint and another format, or if the item will be used next to an existing surface where color, sheen, and substrate differences matter. A careful review up front reduces the risk of ordering the wrong custom product.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1620 Curtain Call in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1620 Curtain Call, 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.
