Pantone™ PMS 197 C

Ordering paint matched to PMS 197 C means you are requesting a color that visually aligns with the Pantone Matching System reference for that code. PMS 197 C is a standardized color target used for consistent brand and design communication. It is not a paint formula, a finish specification, or a material specification. Always evaluate the paint sample alongside a physical Pantone reference to confirm the visual match in your intended use, lighting, and finish.

The SDS for Pantone PMS 197 C paint depends on the type of paint product you select, such as spray paint, epoxy, or urethane. The SDS is not specific to the color but to the formulation of the product itself. After choosing your desired product on MyPerfectColor, visit the SDS library or the product detail page to access the correct Safety Data Sheet for your selection.

PMS 197 C may appear different across materials because surface texture, absorption, gloss, and reflectivity all affect color perception. Even when using the same paint matched to PMS 197 C, color can shift noticeably between surfaces like metal, wood, or plastic. To ensure brand consistency, always assess PMS 197 C on the actual material and finish that will be used in your project and review samples in your intended lighting conditions.

To order paint in PMS 197 C on MyPerfectColor, first choose the paint format that fits your project, such as spray paint, paint pens, or epoxy. Then select your preferred sheen and enter the quantity needed. Double-check all details to ensure accuracy, as Pantone colors are specified for brand consistency and mistakes can be costly. Reviewing a sample is recommended if your project has strict brand requirements or involves multiple materials.

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 197 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.
