Match of ICI™ 679 First Light *

Confirm 679 First Light from a physical swatch, a known painted sample, or another trusted original brand reference before you order. Screen viewing alone can shift the color enough to cause a bad match decision.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the original ICI paint product itself. If the reference you are using is approved, you can order the MyPerfectColor match with more confidence.

Yes. A match of 679 First Light in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, signs, furniture accents, and similar items where spray application is easier than brushing.

For these projects, make sure the part is cleaned and prepared for paint, then apply the color in light coats so the finish stays even. This is especially useful when the goal is to coordinate a small object to a known paint color.

The code 679 First Light identifies the color target, but it does not determine the sheen. Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how you want the finished surface to behave.

Higher sheen finishes usually reflect more light and are easier to wipe clean, while lower sheen finishes tend to reduce glare and can hide surface variation better. The sheen you choose can also change how 679 First Light reads on the finished item, so confirm the finish before ordering.

For a smoother result, apply 679 First Light in light, even coats and keep the spray moving so you do not build heavy wet spots. Overlapping passes lightly helps reduce striping and uneven coverage.

Avoid trying to cover the part in one heavy coat, since that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color that looks muddy as it builds. Follow the product directions for drying time between coats and for the recommended spray distance.

Custom-made color matches such as 679 First Light should be chosen carefully before ordering, because they are not returnable or refundable. That makes it important to verify the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity first.

If you are using a physical sample from the original brand, confirm that reference before placing the order. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected color reference, so order review matters.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 679 First Light in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 679 First Light, 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.
