A match of ICI 268 Emberglo reads as a warm, medium-depth earthy orange-brown with a muted terracotta cast. The color has clear red-orange warmth, but it is not bright or clean; the brown component keeps it grounded and somewhat softened. With an LRV of 22.36, it sits on the darker side of mid-range and will read fairly deep once sprayed.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on shutters, railings, mailboxes, metal brackets, shelf supports, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, and trim hardware where a warm rust tone is needed on small parts. It also suits PVC pipe, planters, frames, and furniture accents when you need a matched finish on spray-friendly surfaces.

Because this is a moderately chromatic color with a relatively dark value, substrate prep matters. Darker or uneven bases can show through, and gloss level can change how much of the orange-brown undertone you see. A smooth, even film build helps the color read consistently across metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts, and lighter or patchy surfaces may need additional coats for even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 268 Emberglo *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor 268 Emberglo for a smoother finish?

Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 268 Emberglo. Hold a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the spray moving so the color builds gradually.

Avoid heavy wet coats, since they can run, pool at edges, or make the finish look uneven. If the part is small or detailed, spray a test piece first so you can confirm your pattern and coverage before coating the final item.

Which finish should I choose for MyPerfectColor 268 Emberglo?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and cleaned. Lower sheen usually hides surface texture better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make 268 Emberglo read differently on the finished part.

If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of 268 Emberglo, remember that gloss level affects the final look even when the color formula stays the same.

How do I confirm the right ICI 268 Emberglo color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering a match of ICI 268 Emberglo, confirm the target from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or an existing painted reference from the original brand. Screen viewing alone can shift the color enough to cause an order mistake.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 268 Emberglo in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 268 Emberglo, 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.

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.
