A match of ICI 995 Newcastle Grey is a light-to-medium gray with very low chroma and a subtle green-yellow cast. It reads as a subdued neutral rather than a clean cool gray or a warm beige-gray, with a softened, slightly muted appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving hardware, mailboxes, railings, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and small fixtures where a consistent gray neutral is needed. It also suits metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts when the goal is to bring removable or replacement components in line with the same color reference.
Because this color is fairly light and low in saturation, it generally covers more easily than vivid colors, but substrate color, texture, and film build can still affect the final result. Darker or uneven surfaces may show contrast through the finish, so additional light coats can help build a more even appearance. Sheen and lighting can also shift how strong the green cast looks once applied.

Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint chemistry, not the 995 Newcastle Grey color name alone, so make sure you are viewing the sheet for the exact product format you intend to buy.
For 995 Newcastle Grey, apply light, even coats with steady overlap and keep the spray pass consistent so the film builds gradually. Avoid heavy wet passes, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look as the color builds. If the product instructions call for time between coats, follow that dry time before the next pass.
Before ordering 995 Newcastle Grey, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify those details before you place the order.
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, how durable the finish needs to be, and how much cleanup you expect to do later. Sheen also changes how 995 Newcastle Grey looks on the finished item, since higher gloss reflects more light and lower gloss reads less reflective. The same color can appear different across sheen levels, so match the finish to the project, not just the color name.
Yes, but prep matters. Clean the surface well, remove rust and contamination, and scuff sound existing coatings so the new paint can bond properly. The condition of the old finish, including its gloss and texture, can affect how 995 Newcastle Grey looks after it dries, so a test application is a good idea on difficult substrates.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 995 Newcastle Grey, 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.
