A match of ICI 1018 Lily Pad is a light yellow-green with a muted, slightly earthy character. It reads soft rather than vivid, with a clear green base and enough yellow to keep it from feeling cool or minty. MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reproduces that lighter, restrained look for parts and components.
This color works well on spray-painted parts such as HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, shutters, brackets, shelving hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It is also a practical choice for baskets, frames, knobs, and small fixtures where a lighter green needs to coordinate with a finished surface rather than stand out as a bright accent.
Because 1018 Lily Pad is relatively light, darker substrates or uneven primer can show through more easily and may need extra coats for full, even coverage. Finish and surface texture can also change the read of the color: smoother, glossier parts may show the yellow-green undertone more clearly, while rougher substrates can make it look a bit softer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1018 Lily Pad *
Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1018 Lily Pad for switch covers, vents, and other small hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1018 Lily Pad is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.
Spray application is often the better choice when the part is small, detailed, removable, or awkward to brush. For the best result, make sure the surface is properly cleaned and prepared before spraying.
How do I choose the right sheen for ICI 1018 Lily Pad when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
Choose the sheen based on how you want the finished item to perform and look, not just the color name. With ICI 1018 Lily Pad, a higher gloss finish will usually look more reflective, be easier to wipe clean, and show more surface detail. A flatter finish will reduce reflection and can hide small surface flaws better, but it is usually less durable and less washable.
If the item will be handled often or needs frequent cleaning, a more durable sheen is usually the safer ordering choice. If the part is decorative or you want less reflection, a lower sheen may fit the project better.
How do I confirm the correct ICI 1018 Lily Pad color reference before ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
Confirm the color reference from a physical swatch or a known existing sample of ICI 1018 Lily Pad before you order. Screen images can shift with monitor settings, so they are not a reliable way to verify the target color.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected ICI color reference. That means the most important step is making sure the ICI 1018 Lily Pad reference you choose is the one you actually want matched.
Will MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 1018 Lily Pad look the same in every light after it is applied?
No. Even after you order a correct match of ICI 1018 Lily Pad, the finished item can look different depending on lighting, viewing angle, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. Daylight, indoor warm light, and shadow can all change how the color reads.
This matters most when the new coating will sit next to an existing painted surface. If the item is separate or removable, the match is usually easier to judge because the eye is not comparing it directly against an aged neighboring finish.
What should I expect for dry time and recoating when using MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1018 Lily Pad?
For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1018 Lily Pad, dry-to-touch time is usually a matter of minutes, recoating should be done in about 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about 2 weeks.
Do not assume the part is ready for full handling just because it feels dry on the surface. Dry to the touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages, and the finish needs time to harden fully.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1018 Lily Pad in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1018 Lily Pad, 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.
