A match of ICI 718 Mayapple reads as a light, warm yellow with a golden undertone and a slightly earthy cast. It is clearer than a mustard and less sharp than a lemon yellow, so the color feels warm and soft without becoming dull.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this brand color can be used on small parts and accessories where a consistent yellow-gold finish is needed, such as vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, picture frames, mailbox parts, door hardware, and furniture accents. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, railings, shutters, and other sprayable components that need to match an existing color reference rather than stand apart from it.
Because this is a light but fairly chromatic yellow, it may take additional coats to cover dark, patched, or uneven substrates evenly. Surface texture and finish can change how golden or muted it appears, and smoother preparation usually gives a closer reading of the target color. On small areas beside an older painted part, differences in sheen and aging can be more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 718 Mayapple *
What sheen should I choose for a MyPerfectColor match of 718 Mayapple by ICI?
Choose the sheen based on how you need the finished item to perform, not just on the color. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface flaws better and reduce reflectivity, while higher sheen finishes are easier to wipe down and can offer a more durable-looking surface. The same match of 718 Mayapple can also look a bit different as gloss changes, so a flatter finish will read less reflective than a gloss finish on the same part.
If you are coating trim, fixtures, hardware, or another item that will be handled often, pick the sheen that fits the wear and cleaning needs of that part. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of 718 Mayapple in a product format that fits the application, including custom spray paint.
Can I return a custom-made match of 718 Mayapple by ICI if I order the wrong color or sheen?
Custom-made color matches are chosen to your selected reference, so confirm 718 Mayapple, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you order. MyPerfectColor matches are made from the color reference you provide, and custom color orders are not returnable or refundable.
If there is any uncertainty, verify the reference first and make sure the product format fits the project before placing the order. That is the safest way to avoid ordering a match of 718 Mayapple that does not fit your needs.
How do I confirm the correct 718 Mayapple by ICI color reference before ordering?
Confirm 718 Mayapple from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand rather than relying on a screen image alone. Screen colors can shift with display settings and lighting, so the physical reference is the better starting point for ordering a match of 718 Mayapple.
MyPerfectColor makes its own paint to match the selected brand color reference, so the key step is making sure you have the right 718 Mayapple target before you place the order. If the color reference is already approved, you can then choose the product format that fits the job.
How much MyPerfectColor match of 718 Mayapple by ICI do I need for my project?
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you expect to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual results can vary.
For a match of 718 Mayapple, plan based on the actual part or surface you are coating and whether it is smooth or textured. If the item has edges, recesses, or a color underneath that shows through, you may need more material than a simple size estimate suggests.
Can I use a MyPerfectColor match of 718 Mayapple by ICI on plastic parts?
Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before committing to the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but difficult or unknown plastics may still need extra prep. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on challenging surfaces.
For a match of 718 Mayapple on plastic fixtures, trim parts, covers, or accessories, surface preparation matters because the substrate can change how the coating bonds and how the color reads after it dries. If the part is critical, do a small test on the same plastic first.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 718 Mayapple in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 718 Mayapple, 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.
