Pantone™ PMS 140 C

Pantone PMS 140 C is a standardized color defined by Pantone, so using a licensed reproduction ensures the color is produced to the brand-approved target. MyPerfectColor is authorized to match Pantone PMS colors in paint, supporting accurate and visually consistent results for displays, brand environments, and marketing. This is important for maintaining brand guidelines and achieving reliable outcome across ordering cycles or multiple projects.

When ordering Pantone PMS 140 C, select a paint formulation rated for the intended environment. For indoor brand displays or fixtures, interior paints usually provide the needed finish and performance. For exterior projects exposed to sun, moisture, or weather, choose an exterior-rated paint for added durability. If you are unsure which type fits your project, clarify your location and exposure needs before ordering to avoid issues with longevity or appearance.

Pantone PMS 140 C can appear differently on different substrates due to factors like absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity. For example, the same paint can look more muted on matte or porous surfaces, or richer on glossy or smooth substrates. For projects using multiple materials, it is recommended to evaluate the color on the actual surface before making final production decisions. This helps ensure the end result aligns with your brand expectations.

Plastics and similar surfaces can be challenging for paint adhesion, including Pantone PMS 140 C. Different plastics may require specific primers or adhesion promoters. It is recommended to test the paint and any necessary primers on your actual plastic part before committing to production, especially for brand installations or displays. This helps verify compatibility and appearance, reducing the risk of adhesion or color issues down the line.

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 140 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 140 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.
