Pantone™ PMS 1788 C

Pantone PMS 1788 C is a standardized brand color that helps teams create a unified visual identity across marketing materials, displays, and environments. By specifying PMS 1788 C, brands can communicate a clear color target to all vendors and fabricators, reducing the risk of color inconsistencies. Using this Pantone PMS code ensures that projects like signage, exhibits, and branded installations achieve the intended look and stand out with predictable visual impact.

Pantone PMS 1788 C is a highly saturated, vibrant red that may require additional coats for full coverage, especially over contrasting surfaces. Using an appropriate primer or undercoat, such as a tinted base that is close in tone, can improve uniformity and help reduce the number of finish coats needed. Always plan for extra material and confirm hide expectations ahead of critical branding or display installations.

Pantone PMS 1788 C is a defined standard for brand color, so authorized reproduction is critical to achieving a reliable color result. Paint produced under license, like that from MyPerfectColor, is matched directly to Pantone specifications to support consistent application across branded projects. This gives confidence that your PMS 1788 C order aligns as closely as possible with Pantone standards for high-visibility environments.

Pantone PMS 1788 C can be ordered as custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other paint types depending on your project needs. For large surface areas or displays, spray paint or coatings are often preferred for even coverage. Paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are helpful for prototypes or precise application on smaller items. Select the format that best fits your installation method and project scale.

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 1788 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 1788 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.
