A match of ICI 1181 Moorish Green is a medium-dark, muted blue-green with a gray cast. It sits closer to a restrained teal than a fresh green, and its low chroma keeps it from reading bright or saturated. With an LRV of 18.95, it has noticeable depth and can read a little deeper on textured or matte surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color reference can be useful on parts where a consistent, subdued finish matters: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, railings, mailboxes, hardware, brackets, shutters, PVC trim pieces, shelving supports, and small furniture accents. The color's muted character works well on objects with edges, cutouts, or other details that are easier to coat evenly with spray application.

Because the color is fairly dark and low in chroma, finish and substrate can change how it reads. A glossier finish may make the blue-green note look cleaner, while matte or textured surfaces can push it more gray. On darker or uneven substrates, coverage may need attention for uniform color, and previously coated parts can show differences in sheen or surface texture even when the color match is correct.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1181 Moorish Green *

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI 1181 Moorish Green do I need for my project?

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. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces can use more.

If you are coating a single part or fixture, estimate the total paintable area and plan extra product if the surface is textured or if you need more than one coat.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 1181 Moorish Green?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the ICI color name alone. To get the correct sheet, look up the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product and format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another coating.

If you are unsure which product version you need, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and match it to the exact item in your order.

Will ICI 1181 Moorish Green look the same in matte and gloss MyPerfectColor paint?

The color match can still be based on ICI 1181 Moorish Green, but matte and gloss finishes reflect light differently, so the applied color can read differently on the finished item. Gloss usually reflects more light and can look deeper, while matte reduces reflection and can make the same color look flatter.

If you need the new coating to sit near an existing painted surface, choose the finish that most closely matches that surface to reduce visible differences.

How do I confirm ICI 1181 Moorish Green is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch from the original ICI reference or from a known existing painted sample. Screen viewing alone can shift the appearance of 1181 Moorish Green, and the MyPerfectColor match is made to the selected brand color reference you provide.

If the color must match an existing part or nearby surface, verify the reference first so you are ordering a match of the intended color, not a screen approximation.

Can I apply MyPerfectColor 1181 Moorish Green over metal or an old coating?

Yes, but the surface needs proper preparation. Clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination, remove rust, and scuff the surface so the new coating can bond well. If the old coating is peeling, cracked, or unstable, that can affect how 1181 Moorish Green looks after application.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing finish can also change the final appearance, so test the prep on a small area when the substrate is uncertain.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1181 Moorish Green in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1181 Moorish Green, 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.
