Match of ICI™ 597 Old Monterey *

Confirm 597 Old Monterey from a physical swatch, an original ICI color chip, or a known existing painted reference rather than from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the order is only as accurate as the reference you choose.

If approval matters, compare the target in the same lighting where it will be used and make sure you are matching the intended 597 Old Monterey reference, not a nearby color that only looks similar online.

Even after you have selected 597 Old Monterey correctly, the finished look can change with lighting, sheen, surface texture, and the colors next to it. A match that looks right on a chip can still read a little differently once it is applied to a real part.

If the item will sit beside an existing surface, check the finished coating in the actual installation lighting. That is the best way to judge how the MyPerfectColor match of 597 Old Monterey is reading on that specific object.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering 597 Old Monterey in spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per unit.

If the surface is rough, dark, or difficult to hide, plan for more material and more than one coat. For the most accurate quantity estimate, measure the part or surface area before ordering.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 597 Old Monterey, 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.
