A match of ICI 1487 Silk Stockings is a dark, low-chroma blue-gray with a cool cast. The color reads more muted than crisp, with enough gray to soften the blue and enough depth to keep it from looking pale.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1487 Silk Stockings can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving supports, and PVC trim pieces when a restrained blue-gray is needed on small or removable items. It also works for hardware, fixtures, and accessories that need to coordinate with a darker painted surface.
Because this is a darker, muted color, surface prep and finish can influence the final read more than they would with a brighter color. It is not a high-chroma color, so coverage is typically less demanding than with vivid hues, but a uniform primer can still help over contrasting surfaces. Gloss level, texture, and film build can change how deep or soft the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1487 Silk Stockings *
Can I order 1487 Silk Stockings in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for trim, vents, pipes, or hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of 1487 Silk Stockings in custom spray paint for small or awkward parts such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories. Spray application is often the practical choice when a brush would be slow, bulky, or hard to control on edges and cutouts.
If the item has lots of corners, perforations, or removable parts, spray paint is usually a better fit than brushing because it can cover more evenly across complex shapes.
How can lighting change the look of 1487 Silk Stockings after MyPerfectColor applies the match?
Even when the color match is correct, 1487 Silk Stockings can read differently after it is applied because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces affect how the finish looks. A part in direct light may look different from the same color in shade or under indoor lighting.
If the finished item will sit next to an existing painted surface, the safest approach is to test on the actual substrate or a sample piece before painting the full part. That helps you see how the match behaves in the real location.
Where do I find the SDS for 1487 Silk Stockings from MyPerfectColor?
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product, not to the color name alone. For 1487 Silk Stockings, check the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order before handling or using it.
If you are comparing product formats, make sure you review the SDS for the correct formulation, since spray paint and other formats can have different safety information.
Will 1487 Silk Stockings spray paint work on plastic or other difficult surfaces?
Plastics vary widely, so 1487 Silk Stockings should be tested on the actual material before you commit to a full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can change based on the specific plastic, surface condition, and prep work.
For PVC, molded parts, and other hard-to-bond surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion when needed. Testing a small area first is the best way to reduce risk on unfamiliar substrates.
How do I confirm I have the right 1487 Silk Stockings color reference before ordering?
Confirm 1487 Silk Stockings from a physical swatch or an existing known color reference rather than from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the original ICI target you want reproduced.
If the reference is uncertain, verify it before ordering. That is the best way to avoid choosing the wrong color and having to repaint the part later.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1487 Silk Stockings in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1487 Silk Stockings, 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.
