Pantone™ PMS 228 C

To order PMS 228 C correctly, always provide the exact Pantone code, including the full designation and suffix (for example, 'PMS 228 C'). Pantone uses both a name and a code to identify each color, but the code distinguishes the specific color formulation and can include important details such as the series or finish. Relying on just the name or an incomplete code can result in receiving the wrong color. Always confirm the suffix matches your brand standards or design guide before ordering.

If you require PMS 228 C paint on a short timeline, you can select expedited production options during checkout. Availability and processing time for expedited orders can vary depending on product type and capacity. For critical deadlines, contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm your timeline can be met. Advance notice helps ensure production and delivery can align with your project requirements.

PMS 228 C is formulated to match the Pantone reference as closely as possible. However, the actual appearance can differ from a Pantone book sample due to variations in paint sheen, substrate, and viewing conditions. Pantone books use a specific printing process and material that may not match every paint application or surface. It is best practice to sample PMS 228 C paint on your actual materials and under final lighting to validate approval before a full project. This approach ensures the color meets your brand and visual standards.

If you are unsure which paint type is best for your PMS 228 C project, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your substrate, exposure conditions, and finish requirements. Their team will recommend the most appropriate product format, such as spray paint, paint pens, or other qualifying options, to meet your branding and display goals. Providing this information supports a successful and brand-aligned outcome.

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 228 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 228 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.
