Pantone™ PMS 2705 C

PMS 2705 C is a Pantone PMS standard color often used for brand and display applications. Matching PMS 2705 C requires converting the standard into a paint formula, which poses challenges because finishes, substrates, and lighting can all affect the perceived color. While MyPerfectColor specializes in producing visually accurate matches to Pantone standards, factors such as finish selection and application conditions may create small but perceptible differences. For the best result, compare a physical paint sample to an official Pantone reference in your intended setting before committing to a large order. This is especially important for high-visibility or approval-based projects.

One standard aerosol spray can of PMS 2705 C typically covers approximately 20 to 25 square feet per coat on a smooth, primed surface. Actual coverage may be less on rough, dark, or textured substrates, or when multiple coats are needed for uniform color. PMS 2705 C is moderately saturated and may require additional coats for true opacity, particularly over contrasting backgrounds. To estimate the quantity needed, measure the project area, multiply by the number of coats required for your application, and consider ordering slightly extra to allow for test spray-outs and touch-up of application errors.

PMS 2705 C is frequently cited in brand literature as a supportive accent color for marketing assets, especially in technology and healthcare organizations favoring gentle, approachable palettes. It appears commonly in tertiary branding for displays, print materials, and wayfinding elements when a soft, blue-lavender tone is required. This prevalence in brand and display use demonstrates its suitability for visually stable, non-intrusive branding environments. Always confirm with your brand guidelines before specification.

Using a primer is recommended for PMS 2705 C whenever you are coating bare, dark, or highly textured surfaces. Priming ensures better adhesion, a uniform appearance, and helps achieve the correct color with fewer coats, especially for moderately saturated colors like PMS 2705 C. If painting over an existing light, sound paint layer, a primer may not be required, but testing is advised. Review product instructions and substrate condition to determine the best approach for your 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 2705 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 2705 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.
