PMS 2905 C is part of the Pantone Matching System (PMS) collection and is known for its cool, clear blue presence. It is often described as fresh, airy, modern, technical, and approachable. This color is used widely in environments that benefit from a bright but not overpowering blue, supporting brand visuals that need a discreet but eye-catching hue.
PMS 2905 C presents as a light blue, with a moderate reflectance value (LRV 53.21), resulting in substantial brightness without appearing washed out. The color has a cool temperature due to its blue core and minimal warm undertone. PMS 2905 C shows restrained saturation (moderate chroma), making it recognizable yet not overly vivid. This color contains a crisp undertone, with limited grayness or muddiness. PMS 2905 C’s appearance is sensitive to finish; gloss and satin finishes will increase perceived color strength, while matte finishes may further soften its impression.
PMS 2905 C works well for brand-facing applications, retail environments, and signage requiring a cool and light blue that maintains visual clarity without dominating the palette. Designers should assess color under the specific intended lighting, as both high and low light can alter the perceived brilliance. As with other light blues, uneven surfaces or thin application may reduce color uniformity, so substrate preparation and proper coverage are important. Relative to other blues, PMS 2905 C is less saturated and visually lighter, avoiding the sharpness or intensity found in deeper or more chromatic PMS blues.
Similar colors:
PMS 291 C – Slightly lighter and less chromatic, resulting in a softer, subtler blue.

Pantone PMS 2905 C is a color standard used for visual targets, not for touch-up or repair of existing products. The Pantone code provides a reference for color only and does not define the sheen, substrate, or process of the original finish. Even if a paint is matched to PMS 2905 C, differences in surface, application method, and gloss can cause visible variation. For this reason, PMS 2905 C should be used to establish a visual brand target on new builds or displays, not for in-field repair of existing coatings.
To order paint matched to Pantone PMS 2905 C, first select the product format needed for your application, such as spray paint, paint pen, or brush-in-cap bottle. Then choose the sheen (finish), specify the quantity, and confirm you have selected the correct color code. Review your selections to ensure they align with your requirements for substrate and visual consistency. If your project has unique needs, consult a color reference before purchase to confirm the match is suitable for your intended use.
The perceived color of Pantone PMS 2905 C can change based on lighting and viewing angle. Light source type, intensity, and color temperature all influence how PMS 2905 C appears. For best results, evaluate sample applications under the same lighting the painted piece will experience in use. This practice helps ensure that PMS 2905 C appears consistent and meets brand requirements in its final environment.
The sheen you choose for Pantone PMS 2905 C directly affects its perceived color and brightness. Higher-gloss finishes make PMS 2905 C appear stronger and more vibrant, while matte finishes can soften the impression and diffuse light. Select sheen based on viewing distance, substrate texture, and whether a crisp or softened effect is preferred in your brand presentation. For the most accurate brand match, ensure the sheen aligns with approved standards or visual guidelines 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.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 2905 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.
