A match of ICI 565 Woodwind reads as a light, muted beige with a warm, slightly yellowed undertone. It has a soft, low-chroma character rather than a clean white or a strong tan, so the color tends to look quiet and restrained on finished parts.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected 565 Woodwind reference is practical for small components that need a coordinated finish, such as vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving parts, frames, mailbox hardware, PVC trim pieces, and other removable fixtures. Its lighter, subdued look also fits pieces where the goal is to blend in with an existing painted surface instead of creating a strong contrast.
Because this is a light color, it can show dark show-through or uneven coverage more easily on patchy, stained, or darker substrates, so surface prep and enough film build matter. Sheen and substrate texture can also shift the appearance slightly, with smoother or glossier surfaces often reading a bit brighter and more defined. Use a test application when coating plastic, metal, or previously painted parts that will be viewed up close.

Yes. The same match of ICI 565 Woodwind can read differently after application depending on the finish. Matte, satin, and gloss reflect light in different ways, so the color can look flatter, deeper, or brighter even when the formula is the same.
If finish matters for your project, choose the sheen first and then order the MyPerfectColor product that matches 565 Woodwind in that format.
Primer may be needed for 565 Woodwind depending on the substrate, its condition, and the paint system you are using. A primer can improve adhesion and help create a better base, but it is not always required.

Plastics vary widely, so 565 Woodwind should be tested on the actual part before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on low-energy or otherwise difficult surfaces.
If the part is important or highly visible, test a small area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance on that exact material.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 565 Woodwind, 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.
