A match of ICI 836 Quiet Light is a light, muted beige with a soft yellow-beige cast and a slight gray note. It reads warm but restrained, with low chroma and enough lightness to stay calm rather than strong or creamy.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color can be used on PVC pipe, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shutters, mailboxes, and hardware where a neutral, low-contrast finish is needed. It is also practical for frames, shelving parts, and other removable pieces that need to coordinate with an existing paint reference.
Because this is a light color, darker substrates, patchy primers, or uneven repairs can show through more easily, so uniform prep and film build matter. The final look can also shift with sheen and surface texture, with glossy or smooth parts reading a bit clearer and rougher substrates softening the color. On exterior parts, the muted character is generally less demanding than a vivid color, but finish choice still affects how warm or gray the color appears.

Coverage for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 836 Quiet Light depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are painting a larger project or a surface that needs extra build for even color, plan for additional material. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the right quantity still depends on the specific surface and number of coats.
Confirm ICI 836 Quiet Light from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or a known existing sample rather than relying on a screen image. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure the target color itself is correct before you order. The code and name identify the color target, but they do not define sheen, product line, substrate prep, or the way an already painted surface has aged.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 836 Quiet Light is usually dry to the touch within minutes. Recoating is typically recommended in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about 2 weeks. Dry to touch, recoat time, and full handling readiness are different stages, so a coat that feels dry may still need time before it is handled, stacked, or put into service.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 836 Quiet Light, 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.
