Pantone™ PMS 244 C

When you order PMS 244 C as a Pantone PMS match, you are requesting paint custom formulated to visually match the standardized Pantone color reference known as PMS 244 C. Pantone PMS is a color communication standard used for specifying an exact color target. It is not a specific paint recipe, coating technology, or finish. This means the match is based on visual alignment to the PMS 244 C color standard, and not on a proprietary manufacturing process or a factory-issued color formula.

PMS 244 C match paint is intended for applications where a consistent, branded visual appearance is required for displays, exhibits, or prototypes. If you have strict requirements for substrate, finish, or process, a sample or approval step is recommended before full production.

For best results with PMS 244 C matched paint, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and oils. Start by thoroughly cleaning the substrate with a suitable cleaner or mild detergent. Degrease if necessary, especially for metal or plastic. For most surfaces, lightly scuff or sand to promote adhesion, taking care not to damage substrate details. Wipe away sanding residue and re-clean if needed. Before full application, apply a test spot to confirm adhesion and appearance. Proper prep helps ensure that PMS 244 C is visually accurate and durable in your application.

The appearance of PMS 244 C paint can vary noticeably under different lighting conditions. This color, like most Pantone PMS matches, may look cooler, warmer, lighter, or more muted depending on the type and intensity of the light. For example, under warm incandescent light, PMS 244 C may appear slightly warmer and less vibrant, while under daylight-balanced or cool LED lighting it will look closer to the intended standard. Always evaluate painted samples of PMS 244 C in the actual lighting where they will be used to confirm that the visual color alignment meets your brand or project goals.

PMS 244 C paint is custom made to order for each project. Lead times can vary depending on the specific product format (such as spray paint, paint pens, or other options) and current production volume. In most cases, production begins after your order is placed and is completed as quickly as our schedule allows. If you are working with a tight marketing or fabrication deadline, check current lead times and consider ordering early to ensure on-time delivery for your PMS 244 C project.

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 244 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 244 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.
