Pantone™ PMS 1895 C

To use Pantone PMS 1895 C in prototypes or concept models, select a paint format that best fits your test materials, such as spray paint for even coverage or paint pens for detail work. Always confirm how PMS 1895 C appears on your actual substrates under intended lighting, since the color''s vibrancy and cool pink undertone can shift based on texture and reflectance. It is often necessary to apply a suitable primer and multiple coats for uniform color, especially with light and chromatic pinks. Evaluating appearance with your preferred finish and lighting early in your prototyping workflow helps reduce surprises during final production.

Pantone PMS 1895 C is a standardized brand color reference but is not intended as a touch-up match for existing coatings or parts. If you require a touch-up-grade result for a part or product surface, you should send a sample part for a direct match. This ensures the new paint aligns with your specific substrate, finish, and exposure conditions. Ordering directly by the PMS 1895 C code is best for new brand applications, prototypes, and displays where matching the Pantone standard is the only requirement.

Pantone PMS 1895 C combines the code '1895' with the suffix 'C' (for coated), uniquely identifying a specific Pantone color. When ordering paint or coatings, always use the full code 'PMS 1895 C' rather than relying on a color name or description. Including the complete code with the proper suffix helps ensure you receive the intended target, as similar Pantone numbers may represent different colors or finishes.

The finish for PMS 1895 C can strongly affect its visual impact. Gloss finishes will make PMS 1895 C appear more saturated and vibrant but can create glare under strong lights, which may be distracting on display surfaces. Matte finishes minimize glare and provide a softer look, though the light pink color may appear less vivid. Consider your lighting conditions, viewing distance, and desired level of impact when selecting between matte and gloss. Testing both finishes in your setting is recommended for critical brand projects.

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 1895 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.
