Pantone™ PMS 2718 C

PMS 2718 C is a highly saturated blue-violet color, and like many vivid Pantone shades, it may require additional coats to achieve uniform coverage, especially over lighter substrates. Plan for extra material and application time to ensure consistent, brand-accurate results. Testing on your specific surface is recommended before full-scale application.

The sheen you select for PMS 2718 C will significantly influence how the color looks in your application. Gloss and satin finishes tend to enhance the brightness and vibrancy of this blue-violet, giving a bolder effect. Matte finishes can make PMS 2718 C appear deeper and less saturated. Choose sheen based on viewing distance, intended visual impact, and substrate type rather than decorative preference.

PMS 2718 C is a Pantone Matching System color and does not have a reliable direct equivalent in most other paint collections. Cross-referencing vivid Pantone colors like PMS 2718 C to other paint brands can result in visible color differences or lower accuracy. For brand and marketing use, always specify PMS 2718 C as the target and order a Pantone-matched product rather than a presumed paint brand equivalent.

PMS 2718 C is available as custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other formats suitable for branding and display applications. Select the format that matches your project needs. Spray paint is typically chosen for larger surfaces and signage, while paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are useful for small details or prototypes. Each format is mixed to match the PMS 2718 C standard for visual consistency in brand and marketing use.

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 2718 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.
