Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of ICI 373 Ginger Root is a warm, medium-deep orange-brown with a yellow-gold lean and an earthy cast. It sits below a bright orange in intensity, with enough chroma to read clearly but enough restraint to avoid looking sharp or neon. The mid-dark value gives it visible depth, and the overall effect is more grounded than red-brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 373 Ginger Root can be useful on small parts and accessories where a warm brown-orange finish needs to be applied evenly. It is a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelf supports, railings, shutter parts, mailbox hardware, PVC trim pieces, frames, baskets, knobs, and other sprayable items that benefit from a consistent color match.

On properly prepared surfaces, coverage is usually manageable, but this color can still show substrate differences if the base is dark, uneven, or glossy. The finish you choose will affect how it reads: glossier coatings can bring out the golden undertone, while flatter finishes tend to soften the color. For exterior parts, good surface prep and full film build are important because weathering can change the way warmer colors hold their depth over time.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, which makes it useful for repeatable parts and replacement pieces where the target is the reference color rather than an aged neighboring surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 373 Ginger Root *

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint in a match of 373 Ginger Root on plastic?

Plastic can be a good candidate for a match of 373 Ginger Root, but not every plastic behaves the same. Smooth, flexible, or low-energy plastics may need different prep, so it is important to test on the actual part before committing to the full project.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to adhere well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. This is a practical step for items like covers, vents, trays, and other molded parts where the coating needs to bond reliably.

Where do I find the SDS for a match of 373 Ginger Root from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the color name 373 Ginger Root by itself. That means the safety document you need depends on the format you order.

You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. If you are choosing between spray paint and another format, check the SDS for the exact product you plan to use.

How do I choose a finish for 373 Ginger Root when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how much light reflection you want. A higher gloss finish is usually easier to wipe clean and reflects more light, while a lower gloss finish reduces reflection and can make surface texture less noticeable.

The same match of 373 Ginger Root can look different as sheen changes, so finish is part of the order decision, not just an appearance preference. Pick the sheen that fits the object, the surface condition, and the expected wear.

What prep is needed before applying a match of 373 Ginger Root over metal or an existing coating?

Before applying a match of 373 Ginger Root to metal or to an already painted surface, clean off dirt, grease, and contamination, then make sure the surface is dry. Remove rust, corrosion, and any loose or failing coating so the new paint is not sitting on unstable material.

If the existing coating is glossy and still sound, scuffing usually helps the new finish grip better. If the old surface is peeling, chalky, or unknown, test first and use primer as needed. The final appearance of 373 Ginger Root can change with the condition, texture, and gloss of the substrate underneath.

Will 373 Ginger Root from MyPerfectColor look the same under all lighting after it is applied?

No. Even after you apply a match of 373 Ginger Root, lighting and surroundings can change how it reads. Daylight, warm indoor light, shadow, sheen, and nearby surfaces can make the same color look lighter, deeper, or slightly different in tone.

If the painted part will sit next to an existing surface, it is smart to evaluate it in the final location before finishing the whole project. That helps reduce the risk of approving a color match that looks different once it is installed.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 373 Ginger Root, 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.
