Pantone™ PMS 1787 C

PMS 1787 C is a bright, saturated red-orange in the Pantone PMS system. Because of its visual intensity and high chroma, achieving a precise match can be more challenging than with less saturated colors. MyPerfectColor specializes in matching Pantone colors for branding and marketing, but factors like substrate, finish, and lighting can influence final appearance. If you require visual brand alignment, specify your project details and evaluate a sample when appearance is critical, particularly for large installations or formal brand approvals.

To select the right paint type for PMS 1787 C, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your substrate, whether the project is indoors or outdoors, and your desired finish, such as matte or gloss. Our team can recommend the best format, such as spray paint or custom mixed paint, to help achieve your brand or display objectives.

The appearance of PMS 1787 C can vary between materials due to differences in texture, reflectivity, and paint absorption. For example, gloss levels tend to heighten vibrancy on smooth metals, while matte finishes on porous surfaces may slightly mute the color. For brand consistency, always evaluate a sample of PMS 1787 C on the actual substrate and in the final lighting before full scale production or installation.

To achieve the best appearance, make sure the application surface for PMS 1787 C is clean, dry, and free of dust, oils, or grease. Where appropriate, lightly scuff glossy surfaces to improve paint adhesion. Always test a small area with PMS 1787 C paint before proceeding with the full project, especially when uniformity and vivid color are priorities.

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 1787 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 1787 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.
