Pantone™ PMS 290 C

The surface texture can noticeably change how Pantone PMS 290 C looks once applied. Smooth, glossy finishes tend to make PMS 290 C appear brighter and more saturated, while matte or textured finishes can soften the color and may make it appear lighter or less vibrant. Texture introduces small shadows and variations in how light is reflected, which impacts the clarity and technical look often associated with this color. Evaluate color samples on the intended substrate and finish to ensure visual alignment with brand expectations.

Pantone books serve as color reference standards printed on specific substrates with defined finishes. When ordering Pantone PMS 290 C as paint, be aware that appearance can differ due to various factors like sheen, substrate, and application method. It is important to test painted samples of PMS 290 C on your actual material and under realistic lighting conditions before final use, especially for branded environments or critical display work.

For Pantone PMS 290 C on metal or powder-coated parts, careful surface prep is essential. Clean and scuff the surface to promote adhesion and ensure a uniform finish. Be aware that the gloss level of the existing coating, as well as any surface irregularities, can influence how PMS 290 C looks. Sample the color on a prepared substrate to confirm that the final appearance meets branding requirements before moving forward with production.

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 290 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.
