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.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 148 C for touch up?

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.
