Pantone™ PMS 120 C

Pantone color codes like PMS 120 C may include suffixes or belong to specific series, which can be important for ensuring you use the correct reference. Always check your brand guidelines or project documentation to confirm that PMS 120 C, including the 'C' suffix for the coated series, is the intended color. Using the wrong suffix can result in visible color differences, especially when achieving brand consistency is a priority.

Choose your paint type for PMS 120 C based on where and how it will be used. If the application is outdoors or exposed to weather, select an exterior paint for durability and resistance to fading. For indoor displays or branded environments, an interior paint is appropriate and may offer a wider range of finishes. Always match the product type to the exposure and performance needs of your project to ensure long-lasting color and appearance.

Ordering paint matched to PMS 120 C means you are requesting a paint color that visually matches the Pantone PMS 120 C standard. Pantone PMS codes specify a color target, not a specific paint formula, coating process, or surface finish. This approach is ideal for achieving consistent brand color across various applications but may show slight variations depending on finish, substrate, and lighting conditions.

PMS 120 C paint is made to order to match the Pantone standard. Production lead times depend on the chosen product type and current production volume. Most orders require several business days for manufacturing before shipping. For urgent projects or large quantities, contact customer service to discuss timeline expectations early in your planning process.

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 120 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 120 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.
