A match of ICI 331 Samoan Sun reads as a warm orange-gold with a pronounced yellow undertone and moderate depth. It is fairly saturated, with more warmth and body than a muted ochre, and less red than a true tangerine.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts where that warm orange tone needs to be repeated cleanly: hardware, frames, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving ends, lamp parts, cabinet pulls, trim pieces, mailboxes, shutters, PVC accents, and other removable fixtures. It is a practical option when a specific brand color reference needs to be carried onto sprayable objects and detail parts.
Because the color is relatively vivid, coverage may depend more on the substrate than it would with a quieter neutral. Dark or uneven surfaces can show through more readily at first, so preparation, film build, and the number of coats can affect how even the final color appears. A glossier finish can also make the warm, golden character read more strongly and can reveal surface texture more clearly.
On exterior pieces, stronger chroma can be more sensitive to fade than a subdued neutral, so finish selection and consistent application matter when the part will sit in sun or weather. For the most predictable result, the same color can look different across metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 331 Samoan Sun *
How do I choose a finish for MyPerfectColor 331 Samoan Sun by ICI?
The color code 331 Samoan Sun only identifies the color target; it does not define sheen, durability, or cleanup. A higher gloss finish will usually make the coated item look more reflective and can make surface flaws more visible, while a lower sheen can look flatter and hide texture better.
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and cleaned. If you need a MyPerfectColor match of 331 Samoan Sun on a fixture, trim piece, or accessory, pick the sheen that fits the application rather than the color name alone.
Do I need primer before using MyPerfectColor 331 Samoan Sun by ICI?
Primer depends on the substrate, surface condition, and the product you order. Bare, glossy, repaired, slick, or problem surfaces often benefit from primer because it can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.
Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are buying. If you are coating a challenging surface, using a primer is a practical way to reduce risk before applying a match of 331 Samoan Sun.
What is the best spray technique for MyPerfectColor 331 Samoan Sun by ICI?
Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the paint builds gradually. Slight overlap on each pass helps avoid striping, while heavy wet passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build that looks muddy.
Let each coat dry as directed before applying the next one. Clean, properly prepared surfaces usually give the most predictable result when you are spraying a match of 331 Samoan Sun.
Can I use MyPerfectColor 331 Samoan Sun by ICI on plastic parts?
Yes, but plastics vary widely, so adhesion can differ by material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but for better adhesion on plastics and other low-energy surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer.
Testing on the actual plastic item is the safest way to confirm how a match of 331 Samoan Sun looks and bonds before you coat the full part.
How do I confirm 331 Samoan Sun by ICI is the right color before I order MyPerfectColor paint?
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing painted sample, not from a screen alone. Display settings and lighting can change how 331 Samoan Sun appears online.
MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so it is important to verify that 331 Samoan Sun is the exact reference you want before ordering. If you are matching an existing part, compare against the actual surface and consider its age, sheen, and wear.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 331 Samoan Sun in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 331 Samoan Sun, 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.
