Pantone™ PMS 144 C

PMS 144 C is often used in prototyping and concept models when visual brand accuracy matters. To achieve brand alignment, select a paint format suitable for your prototype material and intended finish, such as spray paint for smooth, even coverage. Testing PMS 144 C on actual prototype materials is recommended, since color appearance can be influenced by substrate and lighting. Evaluate painted samples in the environment where the model will be reviewed to ensure the color supports your brand objectives.

Sampling PMS 144 C is highly recommended for high-visibility brand projects, large displays, and any situation where lighting or substrate could influence color appearance. If your project requires formal brand approval or must appear consistent across varied materials, test a sample first. This helps ensure correct color results and avoids costly mistakes in full-scale production or installation environments.

PMS 144 C is a highly saturated orange, which can mean lower hide compared to less vivid colors. You may need additional coats to achieve uniform coverage, especially over neutral or contrasting primers. To ensure consistent results, plan for proper surface preparation and test coverage on your actual substrate, adjusting application as needed to meet your brand standards.

If you are unsure which paint type or finish will best match your PMS 144 C project needs, contact MyPerfectColor with information about your substrate, the desired look, and how the painted part will be used or displayed. This helps ensure you receive the most suitable product, whether you need spray paint for displays or a different format for prototyping.

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 144 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 144 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.
