A match of ICI 278 Light Salmon reads as a warm, medium-light salmon with a peachy orange-pink undertone. It is clearer than a dusty neutral and softer than a bright coral, so the color tends to feel warm without looking strongly saturated.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on parts and accessories where a warm salmon finish is needed on a small surface. Common spray-painted uses include vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, wire baskets, picture frames, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelf supports, and furniture accents, as well as PVC trim pieces or shutters that need to coordinate with this reference.
Because the color has noticeable chroma, it may not cover as efficiently over dark, patchy, or highly contrasting substrates as a quieter neutral. Film build, sheen, and surface texture can shift it toward a softer peach look or a slightly fuller coral look, so even prep and consistent coats matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 278 Light Salmon *
How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 278 Light Salmon should I order for coverage?
Coverage depends on the surface size, 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.
If you are coating a larger part, a rough surface, or a darker substrate, plan extra paint so you do not run short before the job is finished.
How should I confirm ICI 278 Light Salmon before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing reference from ICI, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the color code should be checked against the actual sample you want to reproduce.
This helps you avoid ordering a match of the wrong reference.
What should I check before ordering custom-made ICI 278 Light Salmon paint from MyPerfectColor?
Before ordering, verify the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor custom color matches are made to order and are not returnable or refundable.
Confirming those details first helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong custom match.
Can I use MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 278 Light Salmon on plastic parts?
Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test the coating on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates.
A test piece helps you check adhesion and final appearance before coating the full item.
What prep is needed before spraying ICI 278 Light Salmon on metal or an existing coating?
Clean the surface, remove rust and contamination, and scuff any glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. The condition of the old coating, along with gloss and texture, can change how the matched color looks after application.
If the part is important or sits next to another painted surface, a test application is a practical way to check the result before you commit to the full item.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 278 Light Salmon in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 278 Light Salmon, 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.
