Pantone™ PMS 175 C

The code PMS 175 C uniquely identifies this specific Pantone color. The letter suffix 'C' refers to the coated reference in the Pantone system and is important for ordering the correct version. When requesting paint, always specify the full code 'PMS 175 C' rather than just the name or partial number. This ensures you receive the intended color as defined by the Pantone Matching System and minimizes the risk of an ordering error.

Paint made to match PMS 175 C is custom mixed for each order. Because of this, it is not returnable if the color, finish, or product type does not meet your needs. Carefully confirm the code, finish, and quantity before ordering, and consider sampling if the application is brand sensitive or if there is any uncertainty about the final result. Custom orders are not easily revised after production.

PMS 175 C is a standardized color defined by the Pantone Matching System, making it a trusted target for brand-facing projects like signs, exhibits, and displays. Many brands specify Pantone colors to ensure visual uniformity across marketing materials and fabricated elements. For these applications, using paint matched precisely to PMS 175 C helps maintain consistent brand presentation. Sampling on your actual material is recommended to confirm appearance before full production, as finish and substrate can change how the color looks.

Sampling PMS 175 C is advised for high-visibility brand installations, large signage, or display projects where visual accuracy is essential. It is especially important when painting on unfamiliar surfaces or under specific lighting conditions, since the appearance of PMS 175 C can change depending on substrate and environment. A physical sample gives stakeholders the best opportunity to approve color accuracy before committing to a full order.

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 175 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 175 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.
