Pantone™ PMS 279 C

For accurate evaluation of PMS 279 C samples, always compare the color on the same type of substrate and under consistent lighting. Make sure any paint coatings are fully dry and cured before judging the match, as wet or uncured paint can look different. Even small changes in gloss, application thickness, or viewing conditions may affect how PMS 279 C appears. Following a repeatable method helps ensure the color you approve will remain consistent when produced at scale.

Transit times for orders of Pantone PMS 279 C depend on your shipping address and the shipping method selected at checkout. Production time may add to the total delivery schedule, especially for custom formulas. If your project has strict deadlines, allow extra time for both production and shipping, and consider faster shipping options when necessary.

The Pantone code PMS 279 C includes a suffix that indicates the specific standard or application context. Always verify that PMS 279 C is the correct color as specified in your brand guidelines or project documentation, since selecting the wrong code or suffix can lead to an unexpected color result. Confirming the exact Pantone reference before ordering helps maintain brand consistency and avoids costly errors.

A standard spray can of PMS 279 C usually covers about 20 square feet per coat, but actual coverage can vary based on technique, surface texture, and required opacity. Bright and highly saturated colors like PMS 279 C may need multiple coats for full coverage, especially on contrasting substrates. For best results, estimate coverage by testing on your intended surface and include extra paint for additional coats and touch-ups due to overspray or surface absorbency.

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 279 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.
