A match of ICI 22 Purple Paint reads as a dark, muted purple with a red-plum cast and very low chroma. It is not a bright or clean purple; the color sits deeper and quieter, with an LRV of 8.81 that places it on the dark end of the range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 22 Purple Paint can be useful on HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving supports, and other small pieces where a dark coordinated finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for PVC fittings, hardware, frames, and removable fixture parts after proper surface preparation.

Because this is a dark color, the base surface and finish can affect how it reads. A much lighter or uneven substrate may show through more readily at edges or thin spots, and gloss level can make texture and sheen differences easier to notice. Even spray coverage and good prep help the color settle into its intended depth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 22 Purple Paint *

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 22 Purple Paint on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 22 Purple Paint can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, it is best to test on the actual part first, especially if the plastic is smooth, flexible, or low energy.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion before you apply a match of ICI 22 Purple Paint. Clean the surface well, prep it for the specific plastic, and test a small area so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the full item.

Which finish should I choose for a match of ICI 22 Purple Paint?

The right finish depends on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to read on the surface. With a match of ICI 22 Purple Paint, higher gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and more reflective, while lower gloss finishes reduce shine but can be less forgiving on surface flaws.

Keep in mind that sheen changes the way the color looks on the finished item. If you are matching a part, fixture, or accessory, choose the same or closest practical sheen to the surrounding surface so the result is consistent.

How should I spray a match of ICI 22 Purple Paint for the best result?

Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 22 Purple Paint in light, even coats. Hold the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy wet passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build issues.

If the part needs more coverage, build it up with several thin coats instead of trying to cover in one pass. This is especially important on small parts, trim, hardware, grilles, or other detailed items where a heavy coat can change how the color and finish read.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI 22 Purple Paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the ICI 22 Purple Paint name by itself. To get the right safety document, look up the exact MyPerfectColor product or format you plan to order.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 22 Purple Paint, 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.
