A match of ICI 753 Day Lily reads as a light, warm yellow with a clear golden cast and a slight earthy softness. It has enough chroma to look like a definite yellow, but the high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy or deep. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint reproduces that character in a sprayable format for projects that need the selected brand color.
For spray applications, this color fits small parts that benefit from a clean yellow reference, such as vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shelving brackets, picture frames, hardware, and decorative trim pieces. It can also be used on PVC, railings, shutters, and other exterior accessories when a coordinated yellow finish is needed on a separate component rather than a full wall or body surface.
Because 753 Day Lily is light and moderately saturated, coverage can be more sensitive over dark, stained, or uneven substrates, so additional coats may be needed for an even result. The final appearance can shift with finish and film build: matte or satin treatments tend to soften the yellow, while glossier finishes can make the color read brighter and show surface texture more clearly. Careful surface prep helps the matched color read more consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 753 Day Lily *
Can 753 Day Lily by ICI be used on plastic parts?
Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test 753 Day Lily on the actual plastic part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but some low-energy plastics may still need extra prep. If adhesion is a concern, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the matched color.
What is the best way to spray 753 Day Lily by ICI for a smoother result?
Apply 753 Day Lily in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass consistently, and avoid stopping in one spot because heavy buildup can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. Several thin coats usually give a better result than trying to cover everything at once.
Can I order 753 Day Lily by ICI in spray paint for baskets, frames, or decor pieces?
Yes. A match of ICI 753 Day Lily is a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, hardware, and other small items where spray application is easier than brushing. MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint made to match the selected brand color, which is useful when the goal is to coordinate a removable or decorative part to a known color reference.
Will 753 Day Lily by ICI look the same in matte and gloss finishes?
No. The same 753 Day Lily color match can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. A flatter finish tends to look softer and less reflective, while a glossier finish can make the same color appear deeper or brighter. If the finish matters, confirm it before ordering because the color code alone does not define sheen.
How do I choose a finish for 753 Day Lily by ICI when ordering?
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Lower-gloss finishes usually reduce reflection, while glossier finishes tend to be easier to wipe down and show more light. For 753 Day Lily, the finish also affects how the match reads on the finished item, so make sure the sheen you order fits the project before you buy.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 753 Day Lily in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 753 Day Lily, 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.
