PMS 214 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection, used for consistent brand and identity color specification. The color presents as a bold, vibrant magenta with cool undertones. It delivers a saturated, striking, and energetic visual impression, often considered technical, modern, and stimulating within branded applications.
PMS 214 C appears as a dark, highly saturated magenta. The color exhibits a cool tendency due to its underlying blue-violet influence. Saturation is high, contributing to its vivid and bold appearance. Undertones are cool, with a perceptible bluish influence beneath the magenta hue. The color’s perception and intensity can shift significantly with finish (matte vs. gloss) and lighting environment. With a measured LRV of 14.54, it is relatively dark compared to lighter magentas and pinks.
PMS 214 C is typically used when a distinct, eye-catching magenta is required for brand or display applications. For best results, evaluate the color in the intended finish and lighting context, as its depth and vibrancy are sensitive to ambient light and surface sheen. Darker, saturated colors such as PMS 214 C may require additional coats to achieve full opacity and consistent appearance, particularly on light or high-contrast substrates. When comparing to other similar magentas, PMS 214 C stands out for its balance of depth and blue-leaning undertone, delivering a sharp, pronounced presence without drifting into purple.

Paint matched to PMS 214 C is made to order. Standard lead time depends on the product type and current production volume, but most orders ship in a few business days. Custom formats or large orders may require additional time. Confirm your production timeline before placing a high-urgency order to ensure the schedule aligns with your project needs.
When prototypes or concept models need visual alignment with brand standards, specify PMS 214 C by its full Pantone code. Choose product formats that match your evaluation needs such as spray paint, paint pens, or other available options. For saturated colors like PMS 214 C, test coverage and appearance on your prototype substrate before moving to production. Evaluate under lighting conditions similar to those at brand launch or display to confirm visual accuracy.
Paint matched to PMS 214 C is custom made to order based on your specifications, so returns are generally not accepted unless there is a manufacturing issue.

Review details carefully before finalizing your purchase.
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 214 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 214 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.
