A match of ICI 2005 French White is a light off-white with a warm cream cast, low chroma, and a subtle beige-yellow undertone. It sits closer to a softened white than a true beige, so the color looks quiet and light rather than crisp or stark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful for smaller parts where that warm, pale tone needs to be carried across different materials. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving supports, frames, and hardware when you want those items to blend with a light painted finish without turning bright white.

Because this is a very light color, coverage over dark, stained, or uneven substrates may take extra coats for a uniform result. The final appearance can also shift with finish, film build, and surface texture, so a matte, satin, or gloss version may read slightly different even when the color match is correct. On small parts, any underlying color contrast or patchy prep can show through more readily than it would in a deeper shade.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 2005 French White *

Can I use MyPerfectColor match of ICI 2005 French White on plastics, and should I prime first?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a match of ICI 2005 French White in spray paint for many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Because adhesion can differ by material, it is best to test on the actual part first.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. Clean the surface well, follow the prep steps for the specific plastic, and confirm the result on a small hidden area before painting the whole item.

How long does MyPerfectColor match of ICI 2005 French White spray paint take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 2005 French White is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure.

Those are different milestones: dry to touch means you can handle the surface lightly, recoat means you can add another layer, and full cure means the coating has reached its final handling and wear readiness. If the part will be handled often, wait for full cure before putting it into service.

Which sheen should I choose for ICI 2005 French White when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color name. With ICI 2005 French White, the gloss level can change how the matched color reads on the finished part, especially on small items or surfaces with texture.

Lower sheens usually reduce shine and can be more forgiving on imperfect surfaces, while higher sheens reflect more light and can make the finish look different. Select the finish that fits the object, its cleaning needs, and the look you want for the coated part.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of ICI 2005 French White?

Before you order, confirm that you have the correct reference color, ICI 2005 French White, along with the right MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to that brand color reference, not the original ICI paint product.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. If the item will be used on a visible or hard-to-replace part, double-check the substrate, finish, and amount needed before placing the order.
