Pantone™ PMS 1605 C

The PMS 1605 C code refers to a specific color in the Pantone Matching System, but Pantone codes can include suffixes or series such as C, U, or other variations that may change the visual reference. Always check your brand standards, artwork files, or project documentation to confirm the exact Pantone code, including any applicable suffix. Verifying the full code helps ensure accurate ordering and consistent results in marketing, display, or industrial design applications.

PMS 1605 C paint is custom made to order based on the Pantone color reference. It is important to carefully select the product type and sheen for your use case, since custom-made items cannot usually be returned or easily changed after production. Sampling a small amount before full commitment is recommended if appearance is critical for your project. Confirm all details before ordering to avoid unnecessary delays or misalignment with your visual goals.

PMS 1605 C may appear different when applied to materials with varying textures, absorbency, or reflectivity. Factors like surface type, finish, and preparation all affect how the color is perceived. For visually critical branded elements, it is best to evaluate the color on the actual material to be used in the final application. This helps ensure the color aligns with your expectations and brand standards across all components.

To maintain consistent color and coverage with PMS 1605 C on large surfaces, use the same application method throughout the project. Plan your coating process to allow for even, overlapping coverage and avoid stop-start marks. PMS 1605 C is a dark, saturated color that may highlight imperfections or inconsistencies if not applied evenly. Proper surface preparation and applying all coats in a consistent manner are key for a uniform, professional finish.

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 1605 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.
