A match of ICI 1151 Kent Island reads as a soft, muted blue-green with a cool lean and a slight gray cast. It sits in the lighter midrange rather than near either extreme, so the color feels restrained rather than bright, with enough chroma to read as green-blue without becoming vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on small parts where a controlled blue-green finish is needed, such as PVC pipe, HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox components, railings, shelf brackets, hardware covers, frames, and other removable fixtures. The spray format makes it practical for awkward profiles and mixed materials when the goal is to match a known paint reference on a part that is easier to spray than brush.
Because the color is muted rather than saturated, it usually does not rely on heavy chroma to read clearly, but finish and substrate can still change the result noticeably. Darker or patchy surfaces may need careful prep and enough film build for even color, and gloss level can make the blue-green balance look cooler or greener. As with any custom match, the appearance can shift with lighting, texture, and application method.

For 1151 Kent Island, start with a clean, sound surface. Remove oil, dust, wax, and any loose coating before painting metal or repainting over an existing finish. If the old coating is glossy and still firmly attached, scuff sanding helps the new coating grip better.
If there is rust, peeling paint, or contamination, address that first. The condition of the old surface, including its gloss and texture, can change how a match of 1151 Kent Island looks after it is applied, so a well-prepared base gives you a more predictable result.
Yes. A match of ICI 1151 Kent Island can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, decor pieces, and other small items where spray application is practical.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Higher-gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable in many situations, while flatter finishes reduce reflection but can show wear differently.
Sheen also changes how 1151 Kent Island reads on the finished item. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted part, pick a sheen that is close to the surface you are matching so the finished result is more consistent.
Before you order 1151 Kent Island, confirm the brand color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making its own paint to match the selected brand color reference, so the order should be checked carefully before checkout.
Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details up front. If the project includes multiple parts or several pieces, make sure the full order is set correctly before you place it.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1151 Kent Island, 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.
