PMS 164 C

PMS 164 C is part of the Pantone PMS collection, the global standard for color communication in branding, print, and product design. The color presents as a strong, high-chroma orange with a confidently bold, energetic, and attention-commanding vibe. It is valued for its clarity, high visibility, and ability to convey urgency or enthusiasm in visual brand elements.

PMS 164 C appears as a medium-light, strongly saturated orange. The color has a pronounced warm tendency, positioned near yellow-orange on the hue spectrum. PMS 164 C displays high chroma, contributing to its vibrant, assertive quality. The undertone of this color leans distinctly toward yellow, adding brightness and a feeling of warmth. With an LRV of 39.34, PMS 164 C offers intermediate reflectance, making it relatively luminous but not pale. This color can show notable finish sensitivity: glossier finishes will heighten its vibrance, while matte finishes may temper its intensity.

PMS 164 C is operationally effective for projects requiring standout orange accents, brand signage, marketing displays, or trade show graphics that must draw attention. When specifying this color in paint, consider the substrate and lighting environment; saturated oranges may require additional coats for opacity and can visually shift under different lighting types. PMS 164 C performs reliably when used to match corporate branding where high energy or alertness is communicated, but verify appearance with a physical sample, as finish and gloss can alter perceived vibrancy compared to print or digital representations.

Similar colors:
PMS 165 C is similar but appears slightly brighter and more yellow, producing a lighter, more vibrant effect.

PMS 172 C is a comparable orange but shifts redder and deeper, creating a warmer, more intense appearance.

PMS 1585 C is near in hue but is perceived as less saturated and somewhat softer, making it less visually insistent.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 164 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.
