Pantone™ PMS 295 C

PMS 295 C can appear different across substrates because factors like material texture, porosity, and reflectivity influence how the color is perceived. For example, metals, plastics, and woods may each absorb and reflect light differently, changing the apparent depth and vibrancy of this deep blue. Matte and glossy finishes can also affect how dark or saturated PMS 295 C appears. For the most brand-consistent results, always evaluate PMS 295 C on the actual material and finish you plan to use in your final application, under the intended lighting conditions.

PMS 295 C is widely referenced in brand standards for several high-profile organizations. This deep blue is commonly cited in university branding documents and is found in higher education institutional colors. Airline companies, such as Delta Air Lines and British Airways, also use PMS 295 C as a core branding color in their livery and visual assets. Additionally, it is frequently associated with government agency graphics and law enforcement vehicle designs. These examples help illustrate the color's role in communicating authority and consistency.

PMS 295 C is intended for brand color reproduction in signage, displays, and environments rather than for touch up or repair applications. If your goal is to achieve touch-up-grade accuracy on an existing surface, the best approach is to send a physical sample part to MyPerfectColor for a direct match. This ensures the color is matched specifically to your material, substrate, and finish, providing the most seamless appearance possible. Using the Pantone code alone may not account for surface or aging effects, so sending a part is recommended in these cases.

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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 295 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 295 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.
