A match of ICI 1469 Oxford Blue reads as a muted blue-gray with a cool undertone, medium-light depth, and low chroma. It is more restrained than a clear blue, with enough color to show blue while still leaning gray and slightly steel-like.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shelving, frames, shutters, and hardware where a subdued blue-gray finish is wanted on a small or removable piece. Because the color is quiet rather than vivid, it can also work for PVC, access panels, and fixture details that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface without drawing attention to the part itself.

This is not a high-chroma color, so it usually hides more evenly than a bright blue, but coverage still depends on the substrate and the starting color beneath it. On darker or uneven surfaces, extra coats or a suitable primer can help keep the blue-gray reading consistent. Sheen can also change the look: glossier finishes tend to make the blue side of the color more noticeable, while flatter finishes read grayer and softer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1469 Oxford Blue *

How do I confirm ICI 1469 Oxford Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm ICI 1469 Oxford Blue from a physical swatch, a known existing color reference, or an approved sample of the original brand color before you order. Screen colors can vary, so a photo or monitor view is not a reliable way to approve the target.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key decision is making sure ICI 1469 Oxford Blue is the correct reference for your project. This matters most if you are matching a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface.

Where can I find the SDS for ICI 1469 Oxford Blue from MyPerfectColor?

If you need SDS information for a specific finish or format of ICI 1469 Oxford Blue, use the SDS for the product you plan to order.

Do I need primer before painting with ICI 1469 Oxford Blue?

Can I use ICI 1469 Oxford Blue on plastic parts?

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1469 Oxford Blue in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1469 Oxford Blue, 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.

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.
