Pantone™ PMS 259 C

Pantone PMS 259 C is commonly specified as a brand-standard target for signage, displays, and exhibits where precise and consistent color reproduction is required. In these fabrication contexts, using PMS 259 C ensures the finished elements align with brand guidelines and visual identity. Because color appearance can shift based on substrate, sheen, and lighting, it is best practice to sample PMS 259 C on the actual materials and review the result in the installation environment before full production.

When using Pantone PMS 259 C, select your paint type based on the installation environment. For indoor signs, displays, or prototype elements, interior paint can offer the needed appearance and ease of application. For outdoor or exposed locations, using exterior-rated paint ensures better durability and weather resistance without sacrificing brand color intent. Always confirm the chosen format is available in PMS 259 C and test on your substrate as deep, saturated colors may require more coats and coverage can vary by paint type.

To maintain color consistency with Pantone PMS 259 C across multiple orders, always specify the same product type, sheen, and approval procedure with each order. Using the same reference standard and keeping finish and application methods consistent will minimize visible differences batch to batch. For best results, approve a production sample on your actual substrate before full runs and avoid mixing different batches for high-visibility areas.

For best results with Pantone PMS 259 C, begin by thoroughly cleaning and degreasing the surface to remove contaminants. Lightly scuff the area if appropriate to promote adhesion, and repair any imperfections since dark, saturated colors can highlight uneven areas. Apply a test spot of PMS 259 C on your substrate to confirm adhesion and color appearance before full application, as deep purples may need extra coats for full coverage.

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 259 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 259 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.
