A match of ICI 1284 Varsity Blue reads as a dark, cool blue-green with low chroma and a noticeable gray cast. It is not a bright teal; the color is quieter, deeper, and slightly subdued, with a blue bias that keeps it looking restrained rather than vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on metal vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, cabinet pulls, light fixture parts, railings, mailbox hardware, downspouts, brackets, shelving, and other small components where a consistent blue-green finish is needed. It also suits PVC trim pieces, access panels, and removable accessories that need a repeatable match on a sprayable surface.
Because the color is fairly dark and muted, substrate prep and finish choice still matter. Smooth gloss or satin surfaces can make texture, seams, and existing wear more noticeable, while thin coverage over a lighter base may read softer or less uniform until full film build is reached. On exterior parts, the color is not especially high-chroma, but sheen, material, and lighting will still affect the final reading.

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the paint does not build up in one spot. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy wet passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build of ICI 1284 Varsity Blue.
If the part is small or detailed, build the color with several thin coats instead of one heavy coat. Let each coat flash and dry as directed on the can before adding the next coat.
Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before placing the order. A match of ICI 1284 Varsity Blue is custom-made to order, so the match should be chosen carefully.
Because these custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, it is important to verify the reference you want before you buy.
Finish changes how much light the coated surface reflects, so the same match of ICI 1284 Varsity Blue can read differently in different sheens. A glossier finish reflects more light, while a lower-sheen finish reflects less and can make the color appear less reflective.
Choose the finish as a practical coating decision for the item you are painting, because sheen is part of how the final applied color will look on the surface.
Coverage depends on the size of the part, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats ICI 1284 Varsity Blue needs on your substrate. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but the real amount can be lower if the surface is rough or dark.
For other paint formats, coverage is usually about 400 to 600 square feet, but you should plan around the specific product and the number of coats required for your project.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to stick well to most plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so it is smart to test on the actual part first. For a match of ICI 1284 Varsity Blue, prep matters because the same color can behave differently on smooth, flexible, or low-energy plastics.
If adhesion is a concern, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve bonding before painting the full item. That is especially useful on plastic parts where the surface is hard to predict.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1284 Varsity 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.
