Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of ICI 284 Emberlight reads as a light-to-medium warm peach-orange with beige and coral undertones. It has a softer, muted character rather than a bright citrus look, with enough red and yellow in the mix to feel warm and earthy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, picture frames, brackets, lamp parts, baskets, PVC trim, mailbox hardware, shutters, and small furniture accents. It is also a practical choice for removable parts and accessories that need to coordinate to a known color reference without requiring brush application.

Because this color has moderate chroma and a relatively light value, coverage can vary with the substrate. Dark, uneven, or glossy surfaces may show through more easily, so good prep and adequate film build matter. Finish also changes the read: lower gloss can soften the peach tone, while higher gloss can make the warm undertone look clearer and surface texture more noticeable.

For color-critical work on an existing part or beside older paint, test the actual substrate and finish first. Aging, sheen, and texture can change how 284 Emberlight appears once it is sprayed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 284 Emberlight *

How do I confirm I am ordering a match of ICI 284 Emberlight before I buy?

Confirm ICI 284 Emberlight from a physical swatch, an existing painted sample, or another known brand color reference rather than from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected ICI color reference, not the original ICI paint product, so the reference you approve is the one that should be used before ordering.

If you are matching an existing part or surface, use that actual color reference as your decision point instead of a monitor view, because screens can shift the color.

Will ICI 284 Emberlight look different if I order it in a different finish?

Yes. The same match of ICI 284 Emberlight can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how much light the surface reflects. That can make the color look flatter, deeper, or brighter even when the color formula is the same.

If you need the finished part to compare closely to an existing surface, check the sheen you are ordering as part of the match decision, not just the color name.

What should I check before ordering a custom match of ICI 284 Emberlight?

Before you order a custom match of ICI 284 Emberlight, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-matched orders are made to the reference you select, so the order details need to be right the first time.

Because these are custom-made color orders, they should be chosen carefully. They are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the brand color reference and the product type before checkout.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI 284 Emberlight?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name ICI 284 Emberlight by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: Safety Data Sheets.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 284 Emberlight in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 284 Emberlight, 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.
