Pantone™ PMS 222 C

To accurately compare PMS 222 C samples for approval, use consistent lighting and the same substrate as your final application. Make sure the coatings are fully dry or cured before assessing color, as PMS 222 C can appear darker or more muted when wet. Evaluate all samples side by side, ideally under the same conditions where the finished project will be viewed. This helps avoid costly misjudgments due to changes in light or surface variability.

If you require PMS 222 C paint on a tight timeline, expedited production may be available during checkout. For mission-critical deadlines or large quantities, contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm lead times and ensure your delivery expectations are met. Timely communication helps prevent unnecessary project delays.

When specifying PMS 222 C for pop-ups or branded retail spaces, assess durability requirements and sample the paint on your actual substrates before a full rollout. Lighting will strongly affect the perceived depth and tone of PMS 222 C due to its low reflectance and bold chroma. Test both lighting and finish in situ to validate final appearance and ensure the color aligns with your brand intent. This minimizes surprises in large-scale installations.

Many plastics and low-energy surfaces require specific primers or surface preparation for proper adhesion of PMS 222 C matched paint. The performance can vary widely between different types of plastic. Always test the paint system on your actual material before full production. This approach helps verify adhesion, coverage, and appearance, avoiding unexpected failures or costly rework.

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 222 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 222 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.
