PMS 1615 C is a Pantone Matching System (PMS) standard color, designed for consistent color specification across brand identity, marketing, and display fabrication. This color is notably robust, earthy, technical, assertive, and saturated, with a dark and vivid visual presence. Its character is distinctively warm, making it an operational choice when brands require a strong, recognizable, and highly visible color that can withstand variable materials and lighting environments.
PMS 1615 C appears dark with a low light reflectance value (LRV 8.5). The color exhibits a distinctly warm, orange-brown tendency. PMS 1615 C is highly saturated, resulting in strong visual impact and vivid appearance. This color exhibits noticeable yellow-orange undertones. The color may appear even richer or deeper in low-gloss or matte finishes; gloss levels can also influence perceived vibrancy. PMS 1615 C can show subtle shifts in perceived warmth depending on light source and environment.
PMS 1615 C is best used where rich, strong color presence is required—such as branded displays, point-of-sale signage, or activation environments—particularly when high contrast or memorability is needed. Evaluate this color under the intended lighting conditions, as extreme warm or cool illumination can modify how the undertone and warmth present. Surface finish can noticeably affect the saturation and apparent depth; lower-gloss finishes make it appear more muted, while higher-gloss surfaces increase perceived chroma. Compared to other deep, warm hues in the PMS range, PMS 1615 C maintains a bolder, more orange-forward character and resists fading into neutrality under common lighting.

Pantone PMS 1615 C is a deep, highly saturated orange-brown. These types of colors often require more than one coat for full, even coverage, especially over light or contrasting base colors. Additional coats may be needed to achieve the strong brand color target and prevent uneven areas. Planning for at least two coats increases the likelihood of achieving a vivid and uniform result.
For projects where PMS 1615 C must be approved by brand or client stakeholders, request a sample in your intended paint format and finish. Test the color on the same substrate you will use for your final build, and review it under the actual lighting conditions. This process helps confirm color alignment and appearance before committing to large-scale production, reducing the risk of costly rework.
PMS 1615 C is a standardized Pantone PMS color code that helps brands achieve consistent visual identity across marketing, displays, and environments. By specifying PMS 1615 C, you ensure vendors and fabricators reproduce the intended deep orange-brown color in a predictable way, regardless of material or process. This supports recognizable and cohesive brand experiences across all touchpoints.

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 1615 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 1615 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.
