Pantone™ PMS 1955 C

To order PMS 1955 C accurately, always use the full Pantone code along with any suffix, such as 'C' for coated. Referring only to 'red' or by color name without the number risks receiving a different shade. Pantone color numbers with the correct suffix define a precise visual target in the Pantone Matching System, which is essential for brand consistency on displays, signs, and exhibits. Double-check brand standards or artwork requirements to verify the correct code before placing your order.

PMS 1955 C is best used as a brand color standard for new fabrication, displays, or prototypes where visual match to the Pantone target is the goal. If you need to achieve spot matching or blend seamlessly with an existing object, Pantone-based color reproduction may not account for the specific finish, wear, or substrate effects of your part. For critical surface matching, sending a physical part for custom matching is recommended to address those variables and achieve the closest result.

PMS 1955 C is a standardized Pantone color commonly used in sign, display, and exhibit fabrication to ensure visual brand consistency across various materials and vendors. Specifying this code gives everyone a clear color target regardless of substrate or process. However, because appearance can shift based on surface and lighting, reviewing a sample of PMS 1955 C on the actual material and finish intended for your project is highly recommended before full production or installation.

One spray can of PMS 1955 C generally covers about 20 to 25 square feet per coat on a smooth, primed surface. Since PMS 1955 C is a deep, saturated red with low light reflectance, additional coats are often needed for full, uniform coverage, especially over lighter or high-contrast substrates. Surface texture, porosity, and user technique will impact actual coverage. Plan for at least two coats for best results and consider extra material for complex or high-visibility 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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 1955 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 1955 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.
