A match of ICI 1548 Deep Purple is a dark, cool blue-purple with a muted, slightly gray cast. It reads deeper than saturated, with an LRV of 8.24 that places it firmly in the low-lightness range rather than as a bright accent color.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving ends, picture frames, hardware, and other small components where a dark blue-purple finish needs to be carried onto metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces. It is also a practical choice for removable fixtures, accessory panels, and other spray-friendly parts that need to stay visually consistent with a known paint reference.
Because the color is dark, substrate preparation and even film build matter. Uneven primer, patchy sanding, or a contrasting base can show through more readily on small sprayed parts, and a glossier finish may make surface texture and application marks more noticeable. Multiple light coats usually help the color build evenly without flooding details.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1548 Deep Purple *
How will ICI 1548 Deep Purple look after a MyPerfectColor match is applied under different lighting and beside nearby surfaces?
Even when the color match is correct, ICI 1548 Deep Purple can read differently after it is sprayed because lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby colors all affect appearance. A finish that looks right in one location can look slightly deeper, lighter, or more blue in another.
If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, review it in the same lighting and on the same substrate whenever possible. That is the best way to judge the final look of a MyPerfectColor match of ICI 1548 Deep Purple before committing to the full project.
Can I order MyPerfectColor spray paint in ICI 1548 Deep Purple for switch covers, vents, or hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1548 Deep Purple is often used on small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, and similar items where a smooth sprayed finish is practical.
For best results, make sure the part is clean, properly prepared, and suitable for spray application. If the piece is plastic or has a difficult surface, test on the actual item before painting the full project.
How do I choose the right sheen for MyPerfectColor ICI 1548 Deep Purple spray paint?
Choose the sheen based on how reflective you want the finished item to be, how easy it needs to be to clean, and whether it must match an existing surface. Sheen changes how ICI 1548 Deep Purple reads after application, even when the color match itself is correct.
If you are coating a separate part that must coordinate with an already painted area, try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible. If you are finishing a stand-alone part, pick the sheen that fits the part's use and expected wear.
What should I know before spraying ICI 1548 Deep Purple on plastic with MyPerfectColor paint?
Plastic can vary a lot, so the surface may need different prep steps depending on the material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.
Before ordering or painting the full part, test ICI 1548 Deep Purple on the actual plastic you plan to use. That helps confirm adhesion, coverage, and final appearance on the real substrate.
How do I confirm ICI 1548 Deep Purple before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm ICI 1548 Deep Purple from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color needs to be verified before you place the order.
This is especially important when the new coating will be compared against an existing item, because the original painted surface may have aged, changed sheen, or been affected by lighting. Verifying the reference first helps you order the right MyPerfectColor match of ICI 1548 Deep Purple.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1548 Deep Purple in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1548 Deep Purple, 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.
