PMS 1385 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System), a standard for consistent color communication in branding, marketing, and industrial design. This color is recognized for its robust, confident, and visibly assertive character. It presents as a clear, high-impact orange with a warm, energetic quality that remains controlled rather than fluorescent or neon. The color’s moderate lightness and pronounced chroma enable it to stand out while preserving visual legibility.
PMS 1385 C appears as a mid-to-deep orange with moderate lightness.
The color has a clear warm tendency, typical of hues between yellow and orange.
PMS 1385 C is highly saturated, contributing to its vivid and commanding presence.
The undertone is strongly orange with a subtle earthy or burnt note, avoiding red or neon influence.
The color may show slight finish sensitivity, appearing brighter and cleaner in glossy finishes and somewhat muted or denser in matte applications.
PMS 1385 C is functionally effective where clear, warm brand signaling is required and where visual impact must be both assertive and approachable. The color works well under a range of lighting but may shift slightly toward brownish undertones in dim or warm light; neutral or daylight-balanced illumination is best when color matching for brand standards. Due to its saturation and relatively lower light reflectance value (28.12), surface prep and even base color can influence coverage and vibrancy—application over white or light-primed substrates is advised for uniform appearance. Compared to other oranges, PMS 1385 C maintains distinct depth and warmth without veering into red or yellow territory, making it stable in branding environments.

To order the correct paint for PMS 1385 C, always specify the full Pantone color code with all suffixes, such as the 'C' for coated. Pantone color names alone, like 'PMS 1385', may refer to more than one target, and omitting the suffix can result in receiving the wrong color or finish. Use PMS 1385 C as your reference to match brand standards and achieve accurate, consistent results in your project.
The choice between matte and gloss for PMS 1385 C affects both appearance and functionality. Gloss finishes emphasize the saturation and vibrancy of this highly saturated orange, helping it stand out under bright lighting but may add visible glare in direct light. Matte reduces reflections for better visibility at all angles and viewing distances but can make the color look a bit deeper and less bright. Consider the lighting conditions and whether minimizing glare or maximizing color impact is more important for your brand display.
Pantone PMS 1385 C is defined by an exact color target used for brand consistency.

All Pantone PMS 1385 C paint is custom made to order based on your selections for format and finish. Because of this, changes or returns are generally not possible once production begins. Carefully review your requirements and consider ordering a sample to confirm both color and sheen under your intended lighting before committing to your full order.
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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 1385 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.
