A match of ICI 1385 Valley Blue is a dark, muted blue-green with a cool lean and a visible gray cast. Its low LRV gives it a deep, subdued look rather than a bright or clear blue, and the moderate chroma keeps it from reading overly saturated.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, railings, mailbox parts, brackets, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and hardware. It is a practical choice for small components and removable parts that need to coordinate with an existing 1385 Valley Blue reference.
Because the color is fairly dark, surface prep and finish will affect the final read. Even coverage is usually easier than with vivid colors, but texture, sheen, and film build can change how blue or green the result appears, and darker or uneven substrates may benefit from proper priming before spraying.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1385 Valley Blue *
Can MyPerfectColor match ICI 1385 Valley Blue on plastic parts, and should I use primer first?
Yes, MyPerfectColor can supply a match of ICI 1385 Valley Blue for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Because surface type and prep affect adhesion, it is best to test on the actual plastic before coating the full item.
MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion when the surface is difficult or unknown. For the most reliable result, clean the part, test a small area, and confirm the finish on that exact material before ordering more.
What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of ICI 1385 Valley Blue from MyPerfectColor?
Before ordering a custom match of ICI 1385 Valley Blue, confirm the original brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making its own paint matched to that color reference, not selling the original ICI paint product.
Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so checking these details first helps avoid ordering the wrong item. If the project depends on an exact result, verify the target color reference before you place the order.
How much MyPerfectColor paint do I need for ICI 1385 Valley Blue?
Coverage for ICI 1385 Valley Blue depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.
If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or irregular, plan for more paint. For the most reliable quantity choice, estimate the total area, then allow for extra coats if the surface needs better hide or a more even finish.
How do I confirm the right ICI 1385 Valley Blue color reference before ordering from MyPerfectColor?
Confirm ICI 1385 Valley Blue from a physical swatch or another known original brand color reference, not from a screen alone. Monitor and phone displays can shift the color enough to cause an ordering mistake.
MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the more reliable the reference, the better the final match. If you already have an existing painted item, compare it to a known standard when possible instead of relying only on appearance in photos.
What kinds of projects work well with MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1385 Valley Blue?
MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1385 Valley Blue is practical for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, brackets, hardware, decor pieces, and other small parts where spray application is easier than brushing. It is also useful when a removable item needs to coordinate with a known brand color.
For these projects, the main decision is usually fit and application rather than design. If the object has edges, vents, grilles, or detail work, spray paint often gives more consistent coverage than a brush-on product.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 1385 Valley Blue in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1385 Valley Blue, 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.
