Pantone™ PMS 170 C

When using Pantone PMS 170 C in pop-up or retail settings, assess the durability of the paint system for the intended use and schedule. It is important to view PMS 170 C samples under the actual lighting conditions where they will be installed, as color appearance can shift noticeably with different lighting types and intensities. Always order and evaluate a sample of PMS 170 C on your specific substrate before committing to full production, especially for high-visibility installations. This is vital because finish choices and substrate color may affect vibrancy, and coverage may require extra attention for even, consistent brand color appearance.

For optimal results when applying spray paint matched to PMS 170 C, use several thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow proper drying or flash time between coats to avoid runs and ensure even coverage. This method helps achieve a uniform, brand-consistent appearance and reduces the risk of coverage issues sometimes seen with vivid, moderately saturated colors like PMS 170 C. Patience during application leads to better visual results for displays and branding projects.

Pantone PMS 170 C is a unique Pantone Matching System color and does not reliably cross-reference to other paint brand palettes. Most paint brands have their own proprietary color standards, and vivid colors like PMS 170 C are especially challenging to convert accurately. For critical brand or display applications, always specify and order PMS 170 C by its Pantone code to ensure consistency with your visual identity standards. Relying on generic or brand-to-brand matches may lead to visible color differences.

If you have a tight deadline for PMS 170 C paint, expedited production options are available during checkout. To help ensure your project stays on schedule, it is recommended to contact MyPerfectColor directly to discuss your required timing and confirm current lead times before placing your order. This can help you plan installation or rollout dates more confidently.

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 170 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.
