Pantone™ PMS 2955 C

Pantone PMS 2955 C is often specified as a brand standard color for signs, displays, and exhibits where accurate and consistent color reproduction is required. This ensures that fabricated elements align visually with established brand guidelines. When using PMS 2955 C for these applications, it is important to request paint or coatings matched specifically to the Pantone standard, and to review samples applied on the intended substrate under final lighting conditions. Sampling helps confirm any impact of substrate or finish so you can approve color accuracy before moving to production.

Pantone PMS 2955 C is a deep, saturated blue with low light reflectance, so achieving uniform, streak-free coverage across large areas requires good surface prep and even application technique. Plan for multiple coats, especially if covering a lighter base, and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks. Consistent application conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and spraying distance, help maintain a uniform look. Sampling on your actual project material is recommended, since the color can appear even darker in low light or with a matte finish.

Matching Pantone PMS 2955 C can be challenging because deep, saturated blues can shift in appearance depending on finish, substrate, and lighting. Even small variations can be noticeable in critical brand settings. MyPerfectColor formulates PMS 2955 C paint based on the Pantone standard, carefully adjusting for sheen and coverage, but recommends evaluating a sample on the intended substrate before full production. This helps ensure visual alignment with your brand requirements despite the inherent complexity of matching saturated colors across different materials.

When applying Pantone PMS 2955 C paint to plastics or low-energy surfaces like polyethylene or polypropylene, proper surface prep is important for good adhesion. Many plastics require a specialized primer or intermediate coating to enable the paint to bond and avoid issues like peeling or poor coverage. Always test PMS 2955 C on a sample of the actual material before moving forward with production. This allows you to confirm both color appearance and adhesion on your specific substrate.

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 2955 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 2955 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.
