A match of ICI 401 Oxford Inn is a very dark, muted warm brown with a low-chroma profile and a slight yellow-brown undertone. The low LRV means it can read close to black in dim light, while brighter light shows more of its warm brown character.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelving parts, hardware, and other removable pieces that need a subdued dark finish. It also suits PVC, trim pieces, and small fabricated parts where a brown-black tone is easier to coordinate than a brighter accent color.
Because this is a dark color, substrate color and finish can affect the final read. Over white, light plastic, or uneven repairs, extra coats may be needed for even coverage, and gloss levels can make sanding marks or surface texture more visible. Careful prep and steady film build help the color look more uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 401 Oxford Inn *
Can MyPerfectColor 401 Oxford Inn be ordered as spray paint for baskets, frames, shelving, or decor pieces?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a custom spray paint match of ICI 401 Oxford Inn for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, hardware, and other small items where spray application is practical. It is a match of the selected brand color, not the original brand's paint.
For the best result, use proper surface preparation and apply enough light coats to get even coverage on the object you are coating. Spray paint is a practical choice when the part is removable, awkward to brush, or needs a repeatable color match.
How much area will MyPerfectColor 401 Oxford Inn spray paint cover?
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for 401 Oxford Inn can be higher or lower depending on surface texture, color change, application method, and how many coats are needed. Rough or porous surfaces usually use more paint than smooth ones.
If you are coating a darker surface or trying to get full hide in fewer coats, plan for extra paint rather than sizing the project by square footage alone. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but spray coverage is much lower because the product is applied differently.
How do I confirm that I am ordering the right ICI 401 Oxford Inn color from MyPerfectColor?
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing painted reference before you order. Screen viewing alone is not a reliable way to confirm 401 Oxford Inn because displays and lighting can shift how the color appears.
MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key decision is whether the reference you are using is truly ICI 401 Oxford Inn. Once that target is verified, you can order a MyPerfectColor match of that color with more confidence.
Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 401 Oxford Inn?
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the color name alone. For the Safety Data Sheets, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.
If you need compliance details for a specific format, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy.
Do I need primer before applying MyPerfectColor 401 Oxford Inn?
Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. Primer is not always required, but it can improve adhesion and is often worth considering for bare, slick, damaged, or difficult surfaces.
If you are coating metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted part in 401 Oxford Inn, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product and consider a test application when the surface is unfamiliar. A primer usually helps more than it hurts, but the right choice depends on the project.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 401 Oxford Inn in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 401 Oxford Inn, 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.
