Pantone™ PMS 262 C

Pantone PMS 262 C is a standardized target for branding and display, but achieving a precise match in paint involves several variables. Factors such as substrate, finish, application method, and lighting can influence the visual result. MyPerfectColor creates PMS 262 C paint based on Pantone formula guides, using industry methods to approach the target as closely as practical. For most branding environments, the result provides a visually consistent match, but there may be slight differences due to the inherent differences between ink on coated paper and pigmented paint on other surfaces.

For formal brand projects or high-visibility installations, it is best to order a sample of PMS 262 C in the target finish and product type. Evaluate this sample on your actual substrate and under your intended lighting conditions. This ensures that decision-makers approve the exact color appearance before you commit to larger production orders. Sampling helps avoid expensive rework by confirming brand alignment in your real environment.

Pantone PMS 262 C is a unique standard within the Pantone Matching System and does not have an exact equivalent in most paint brand palettes. While some companies may offer similar purples, cross-referencing is rarely exact and may result in noticeable visual differences. For brand-critical projects, always specify PMS 262 C directly and request it by code rather than relying on near matches from other lines.

The SDS for PMS 262 C paint depends on the product type you order, such as spray paint or industrial coating, rather than the color itself. To find the correct SDS, go to the SDS library or the compliance information section for your selected product on MyPerfectColor. Reference the product base, not just the color code, when searching for compliance documentation.

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 262 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 262 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.
