A match of ICI 972 North Woods reads as a light, softened yellow-green with a muted, slightly earthy cast. It has enough green to stay cool-leaning, but the yellow content keeps it from looking icy or blue-based. With a high lightness and moderate chroma, it should appear pale and quiet rather than vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small sprayable parts that need a restrained green-yellow finish, such as HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, wire baskets, picture frames, cabinet hardware, PVC trim pieces, mailbox components, or railing details. It is also a practical choice for removable fixtures, accessory parts, and architectural accents where a repeatable match matters more than broad surface coverage.
Because this is a light color, darker or uneven substrates may show through more readily and may need extra coats for even coverage. Finish, texture, and film build can shift how pale or green the color appears, so primer selection and surface preparation can affect the final result. On metal, plastic, and previously coated parts, a clean substrate and uniform application help the color read more consistently.

Yes. 972 North Woods by ICI can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth, durable sprayed finish is the goal. It is commonly used on items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar parts.
For the best result, make sure the part is clean, properly prepared, and suitable for spray application. If the item has mixed materials or an unusual surface, test first on a hidden area before coating the full piece.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to read on the finished surface. A glossier finish usually reflects more light, can be easier to clean, and may make 972 North Woods look a bit brighter. A flatter finish reduces shine, but it can be less forgiving and may not clean as easily.
The same color can look different across finishes, textures, and substrates, so the finish is part of the final appearance. If the item will be handled often or cleaned regularly, finish choice matters as much as the color match itself.
For 972 North Woods by ICI in MyPerfectColor spray paint, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or full handling. Plan on recoating in one to two hours.
Full cure takes longer, about two weeks. If you handle, stack, or install the part too early, the finish can be more vulnerable to marks or damage even if it feels dry on the surface.
MyPerfectColor spray paint can stick well to most plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important. For 972 North Woods by ICI, using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion, especially on difficult or low-energy plastic surfaces.
If you are coating plastic for the first time, clean the part well, follow the prep steps for that material, and test before painting the full item. That helps reduce the chance of adhesion problems after the color is applied.
Confirm 972 North Woods by ICI from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference before you place the order. Screen images and device settings can change how the color appears, so a photo or on-screen view should not be your only reference.
MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color standard, so the main purchase risk is choosing the wrong reference color. If you already have a swatch or an existing painted sample, use that to verify the target before ordering.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 972 North Woods, 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.
