Pantone™ PMS 2717 C

Pantone PMS 2717 C is part of the Pantone Matching System, which is a unique set of standard colors used primarily for brand specification and consistency. Most major paint brands use their own proprietary palettes, and their formulas, colorants, and finishes are developed independently of Pantone standards. As a result, PMS 2717 C rarely matches exactly to any standard color from another paint company. Visual consistency can be influenced further by differences in finish and substrate. If your project requires PMS 2717 C specifically, order using its official designation to ensure the closest alignment with the Pantone target.

Whether you need a primer for PMS 2717 C depends on the paint type you select, the substrate you are coating, and the conditions the surface will face. Using a primer is generally recommended for unpainted, porous, or previously uncoated materials, as well as when covering strong existing colors. Priming will help with adhesion and even coverage, which is important for achieving brand-consistent results, especially with lighter or cooler hues like PMS 2717 C. Review your substrate requirements and paint guidance before starting your project for best results.

The finish you choose for PMS 2717 C has a significant impact on how the color will look in practice. Gloss finishes reflect more light, making this light, cool blue appear brighter and possibly more saturated. Matte and satin finishes produce less reflection, which can make the color look more subdued or softer, especially under diffuse lighting. Evaluate PMS 2717 C in your intended finish, on your actual substrate, and within the site's lighting conditions to confirm you are satisfied with the visual effect before full installation.

Expedited production for PMS 2717 C is available as an option at checkout for many formats and order sizes. If you have a specific deadline or a fast-turn project, it is recommended to select expedited production during the ordering process and contact MyPerfectColor to confirm availability and shipping timelines for PMS 2717 C. Advance notice improves the ability to meet tight schedules for brand activations or marketing installations.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 2717 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.
