Pantone™ PMS 106 C

Ordering paint matched to Pantone PMS 106 C means you are requesting a custom paint color mixed to visually match the standardized Pantone PMS 106 C reference. The PMS code is a color target, not a formula or finish. This ensures your painted surface visually aligns with the PMS 106 C standard under typical viewing conditions but does not specify the manufacturing process, paint type, or application method. Always confirm if the painted result will meet your project's specific needs for substrate, finish, and lighting, especially for brand-critical or high-visibility uses.

The finish selected for PMS 106 C, such as gloss, satin, or matte, can significantly affect the perceived brightness and vibrancy of the color. Gloss and high-sheen finishes tend to intensify PMS 106 C, making it appear brighter and more saturated. Matte or satin finishes will reduce reflections and can make the color seem softer or more muted. Since PMS 106 C is a highly visible, light yellow, these changes in finish may impact how closely the painted surface aligns with brand expectations, especially under varied lighting conditions. If exact appearance is critical, always test the finish and color together on your actual substrate before finalizing large projects.

For best results with PMS 106 C, start by ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose material. Use a suitable cleaner or degreaser as needed. Lightly scuff glossy or very smooth surfaces to promote adhesion. Because PMS 106 C is a bright, light yellow with lower masking capability, proper surface prep and a primer or white base coat are especially important for even coverage and true color appearance, especially over dark or uneven substrates. Always test a small area first to confirm adhesion and finish before committing to the full job.

When PMS 106 C is specified in brand approval workflows, it is best practice to order a sample of the matched paint and apply it to the actual substrate you will use. Review the sample under the same lighting and finish that will be present in the final installation. This approach allows brand teams and stakeholders to accurately evaluate color appearance and approve the match before full production or rollout, minimizing risk and ensuring brand consistency in critical applications.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 106 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 106 C in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that 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, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
