A match of ICI 938 Greenaire is a very light, muted yellow-green. It has high brightness, a soft green cast, and enough yellow in the undertone to keep it from reading as a clean spring green. The overall effect is pale, subdued, and slightly warm rather than crisp.

As a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match to the selected brand color reference, it can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, light fixture parts, shelving brackets, basket frames, hardware, and PVC trim pieces where a pale green-tinted finish needs to be applied evenly. It also fits small exterior parts such as shutters, mailboxes, railings, or utility covers when the goal is a light color that does not draw strong contrast.

Because this color is very light, darker substrates, patchy prep, or uneven old coatings can show through more easily and may take extra coats for full, even coverage. Surface texture and finish will also affect how warm or green the color appears, so film build and substrate choice matter more than they would with a deeper color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 938 Greenaire *

How does finish change the look of MyPerfectColor 938 Greenaire after it is applied?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of 938 Greenaire can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. The color target stays the same, but a glossier finish usually makes the color read a little brighter and more reflective on the finished item.

If you are matching an existing painted part, choose the finish that best fits the surface you are coating. Sheen differences can change the way 938 Greenaire appears, especially on small parts, trim pieces, or items viewed next to another coated surface.

Do I need primer before ordering MyPerfectColor 938 Greenaire for my project?

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the type of paint you are using. For 938 Greenaire, primer is not always required, but it never hurts and can improve adhesion on many surfaces.

If the surface is bare, patched, porous, glossy, or otherwise difficult, priming first is usually the safer choice. Check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor product before you order so you choose the right build for your project.

How much MyPerfectColor 938 Greenaire should I order for a spray-paint project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For 938 Greenaire, measure the actual surface area and plan for extra material if the substrate is textured, dark, or uneven. Small parts, trim pieces, and accessories often need more than one coat, so it is better to allow some margin rather than order too little.

Can MyPerfectColor 938 Greenaire be used on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion when the surface is slick or difficult.

For plastic covers, housings, trim pieces, or accessories, clean the part well, confirm the surface type, and do a test spray first. That is the safest way to see how 938 Greenaire behaves on your specific plastic.

Is MyPerfectColor 938 Greenaire practical for baskets, frames, or other small items?

Yes. When the goal is to color-coordinate a removable or small object to the selected brand color, a custom spray paint match of 938 Greenaire is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, and similar items.

MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to the ICI 938 Greenaire color reference, not the original ICI paint. For small objects, prep and test spraying matter because the finish, substrate, and application method can all change how the final color reads.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 938 Greenaire in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 938 Greenaire, 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.
