PMS 148 C is a Pantone Matching System (PMS) standard color with a light, peach-influenced appearance. It is included in the Pantone PMS collection, primarily used for branding, marketing, and industrial design applications. The vibe of PMS 148 C is soft, approachable, clean, understated, and inviting.
PMS 148 C presents as a light color, with an LRV of 67.99 indicating high light reflectance. The color appears warm in tone, with a distinct yellow-orange character and a subtle peach undertone. The saturation level is moderate, maintaining clarity without being overly vivid or stark. The undertone is primarily peach, creating a gentle and approachable warmth. The color is sensitive to finish choice; slight gloss or matte variations may influence perceived warmth and depth, especially in large, uniform applications.
PMS 148 C works well in branded environments or product displays requiring a gentle, warm background that supports legibility and visual comfort. Lighting plays a crucial role; this color remains clean and warm under most neutral or warm light conditions, though it may appear washed out under intense direct light. When used in paint, carefully consider finish to maintain color integrity—gloss can enhance warmth while matte finishes may mute its character. Compared to other light warm colors, PMS 148 C maintains a slightly peachier undertone and avoids yellow harshness.

Pantone PMS 148 C is a light color with a high light reflectance value. While not as vivid as some saturated Pantone hues, lighter warm colors like PMS 148 C may require additional coats to achieve uniform, opaque coverage, especially over dark primed substrates. The final appearance can also be influenced by finish and lighting. Testing PMS 148 C in your chosen format can help you assess build and hide requirements before a full-scale project.
Pantone PMS 148 C paint is made to order and lead times depend on the product type and current production volume. Most orders are produced and shipped within several business days, but larger or specialty orders may require additional time. If your project is time-sensitive or has formal approval workflows, plan ahead and contact production support to confirm current lead times before ordering.
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 148 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 148 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.
