Pantone™ PMS 220 C

When specifying PMS 220 C for retail or pop-up installations, evaluate how the color will appear under your actual lighting, as vivid magentas like this can shift with lighting type and intensity. This color has a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV 9.54), meaning it will look quite deep and bold on most surfaces but can appear different in matte versus gloss finishes. For high-traffic or high-visibility areas, sample the color on your intended substrate in the selected finish to confirm appearance and expectation. Deep, saturated colors may need multiple coats for full coverage, so factor this into your project planning for brand consistency.

Pantone PMS 220 C matches are intended for brand-facing displays, signage, and new fabrications, not for touch-up on pre-painted parts. If precise touch-up results are needed to blend with an existing coated part, it is best to send a physical part to MyPerfectColor for a custom match. This approach accounts for variables like substrate, coating process, and finish, which cannot be captured by the Pantone code alone.

Pantone PMS 220 C is a unique color standard. Most paint brands create their own palettes, and direct cross-references are rarely exact. This is especially important for saturated colors like PMS 220 C, where even small differences in formulation or finish can change how the color appears in brand settings. Use Pantone PMS 220 C paint when the goal is to match a specified brand color, rather than relying on conversions to other brands.

To select the best paint for PMS 220 C, contact MyPerfectColor with information about your substrate, application environment, and preferred finish. This allows recommendations that ensure optimal adhesion, durability, and brand-consistent visual results for your specific project needs.

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 220 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 220 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.
