Pantone™ PMS 224 C

PMS 224 C is defined by the Pantone Matching System, a global standard for consistent brand and marketing color communication. Using an authorized reproduction process ensures PMS 224 C is matched to Pantone's reference, supporting visual brand consistency. MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors in paint, which helps avoid the risk of off-standard products or color shifts that can undermine brand alignment.

When applying Pantone PMS 224 C to plastics or low-surface-energy materials, adhesion can be challenging since some plastics resist paint or coatings. It is often necessary to use a plastic primer and verify compatibility with the substrate. Always test PMS 224 C paint on your specific material before full production to confirm adhesion and visual results, as color and finish may appear differently depending on surface and preparation.

PMS 224 C can appear noticeably different depending on the texture of the surface. Glossy or smooth surfaces may make the color look brighter and more saturated, while matte or textured surfaces can diffuse light, causing PMS 224 C to appear less intense or slightly darker. When accurate color is critical, evaluate PMS 224 C on the intended surface and finish under representative lighting conditions to confirm it meets brand requirements.

Pantone PMS 224 C is a standard branding color, but for touch-up-grade matching, visual consistency with a specific part requires more than a standard Pantone match. For precise touch-up on existing products, it is recommended to send a physical sample of the part. This allows for a match that accounts for substrate, finish, and application conditions, which cannot be captured by the Pantone PMS 224 C standard alone.

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 224 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 224 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.
