A match of ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth is a deep, muted red-violet with a plum and mauve cast. With low LRV, it reads dark and softened rather than bright or clear, and the cool side of the hue keeps it from leaning warm.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color reference can be useful on metal brackets, cabinet pulls, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, picture frames, railings, mailbox parts, and painted PVC trim pieces. It also suits baskets, shelving, and furniture accents when a subdued plum tone is needed on small, sprayable parts.
Because the color is dark and moderately muted, surface condition and finish can affect the result. Minor texture, scratches, and sheen differences may stand out more on glossy or lightly colored substrates, and the final appearance can shift with film build and the base material under the coating. Careful prep matters when coating mixed materials or previously painted parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 2 Grape Hyacinth *
For ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth, when can I handle the part after spraying and when can I recoat it?
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for handling or full cure. Plan on recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure.
If the part needs to be moved, assembled, or put back into service, treat it as a handling decision, not just a dry-to-touch decision. Light handling may be possible sooner than full cure, but avoid heavy use or tight stacking until the coating has had time to harden.
Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth on plastic, and should I use primer?
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot and the same coating may not behave the same way on every surface. Testing on the actual part is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you finish the full project.
For better adhesion on plastic and other difficult surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for the project. Primer can improve how the coating grips the surface and can reduce the chance of adhesion problems after application.
How do I confirm that ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable original brand reference before ordering. Screen images can shift with display settings, lighting, and device calibration, so they are not the best basis for approval.
MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, not the referenced brand's original paint product. That means the key ordering step is to verify that ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth is the exact target color you want matched before you place the order.
What kinds of projects work well for ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth in custom spray paint?
A match of ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth is a practical choice when you need MyPerfectColor custom spray paint on small parts or awkward items that are easier to coat evenly by spray than by brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories.
This format is especially useful when you are matching a known brand color on removable or portable parts and want a repeatable result across multiple pieces. It is a color match of ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth made by MyPerfectColor, not the original ICI paint product.
What prep should I do before applying ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth over metal or an existing coating?
Before applying a match of ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth, clean the surface well and make sure dirt, oil, rust, and loose contamination are addressed. If the surface is glossy or has a sound existing coating, scuffing can help the new paint bond better.
The condition of the old coating matters because gloss, texture, and wear can all affect how the finished color reads. If the existing surface is failing, heavily rusted, or uneven, fix that first so the new coating is not applied over a weak base.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 2 Grape Hyacinth, 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.
