Pantone™ PMS 1945 C

To achieve accurate brand representation using PMS 1945 C on prototypes or concept models, use physical Pantone references to guide evaluation. Order sample amounts of the chosen paint format and finish (such as spray paint or paint pens) to test on your actual prototype materials. Compare samples side-by-side with Pantone color standards under the intended lighting. This process helps confirm that PMS 1945 C delivers the intended brand appearance before scaling up production or display.

All paint products matched to PMS 1945 C are custom made to order. Carefully review your product type, finish, and quantity before submitting your order. Because custom-made items are produced specifically for your request, they cannot be returned or exchanged if the result does not fully match your expectations. Sampling is strongly advised when you need to confirm appearance or performance before committing to a full order.

When PMS 1945 C is specified for pop-ups or retail settings, carefully choose the paint format, sheen, and durability to suit your installation. Evaluate finish options with real samples under the lighting of your space, since both lighting and surface gloss will strongly affect the perceived color and vibrancy. Plan to sample the color on your target substrates before large-scale application to ensure PMS 1945 C achieves the desired brand continuity and impact throughout your environment.

For best results with PMS 1945 C on metal or powder-coated surfaces, thoroughly clean and lightly scuff the area to improve adhesion. Be aware that any existing gloss, color, or texture from previous coatings can influence the final appearance and saturation of PMS 1945 C. Because high-chroma reds may have lower hide, apply sample coats to verify coverage and appearance on your specific parts before proceeding with production quantities.

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 1945 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.
