A match of Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket reads as a muted khaki-olive with a warm, earthy cast. It sits in a medium-dark range, with low chroma and a subdued yellow-green undertone rather than a clear beige or a brighter green.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sico color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, PVC, fixture covers, and other small parts where a coordinated earth tone is needed. It is also practical for removable accessories and trim pieces that spray more evenly than they would brush.

Because the color is relatively muted, it usually hides more predictably than a vivid color, but the medium-dark value can still show substrate color, scratches, or texture on early coats. Finish, film build, and surface prep can shift how olive or brown the color appears, so an even base and consistent spray application help keep the match reading cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sico™ 6197-53 Safari Jacket *

Can I return a custom-made match of Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket if the color, sheen, or format is not what I expected?

Custom-made matches of Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket should be ordered carefully because made-to-order color matches are not returnable or refundable. Before you place the order, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

How do I confirm that Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Screen colors can vary by device and lighting, which can lead to a wrong purchase if you rely on them as the only reference.

What should I do before applying Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket over metal or an existing coating?

For metal or a surface that already has coating on it, clean the item well first and remove any rust, loose paint, oil, or other contamination. A light scuff can help a new coating bond, and the condition of the old finish can affect how Sico 6197-53 Safari Jacket looks after application.
