International Paint Colour Codes
Some readers (and applicators) are confused with International Paint’s colour coding system. I hope this post can clear the air a wee bit.
International Marine and Protective Coatings use a standard system to denote colour. All the standard colours are represented by a alphabet followed by 3 numbers. For example :
- Signal Green is L549
- Yellow is B134
- Storm Gray is K724
This nomenclature works across product types. Polyurethanes, epoxies and alkyds all use the same system to denote colour. To differentiate the product category, the colour code is preceded by 2 alphabets. Polyurethanes use PH while epoxies use EC. Single pack topcoats use CL. Some examples are :
- ECB134 is epoxy yellow (Intergard)
- PHL549 is PU Signal Green (Interthane)
A good portion of International products follow this coding system.

I’ve uploaded the International Sea colour chart some time ago (see post). This standard Marine Paint colour chart seems long overdue. I choose to provide the Sea Colour chart because it is not readily available, while many have a copy of the standard chart. For those who don’t, and want to have a rough idea of the colour, click below:

This standard chart is used for the various range of International products such as Interlac, Intergard, Interthane etc.
International Marine Paint - Sea Colour Chart Uploaded March 20, 2007
Posted by admin in : Colour Chart, Marine Paints , 5commentsAs requested by quite a few, I’ve scanned and uploaded the International Marine Paint Sea Colour Chart. It’s a rather big chart, so I’ve split it into 2. The bottom part of the 2nd chart has a reference table to show the grid reference and the corresponding colour code for the paint. As always, remember that the colour you see depends on the settings of your monitor and can be quite different from the actual colour of the paint. With that said, it is still an indication of the colour, short of coming down to my outlet to look at the ‘real’ thing. Click on the image to pop up a larger image.
If you can’t focus on small words and numbers, the images below will let you zoom in. They are the same as the above 2, just that it allows you to zoom in.
