Pantone™ PMS 298 C

When ordering PMS 298 C, it is critical to use the full Pantone code, including the suffix 'C', not just the name or a partial code. The Pantone code 'PMS 298 C' uniquely identifies a specific blue in the Pantone Matching System and ensures you are referencing the correct target. The name alone can sometimes be confused or shortened in ways that may lead to ordering the wrong product. Always double-check that your order references 'PMS 298 C' exactly to ensure brand consistency and avoid costly errors.

Sampling PMS 298 C is recommended for high-visibility brand projects, large installations, or any environment where lighting, substrate, or finish could affect appearance. Because PMS 298 C is a light, saturated blue, coverage and color perception can vary with surface type and gloss level. Sampling lets you confirm that the color meets expectations under actual project conditions before proceeding to full production, minimizing the risk of costly rework or brand inconsistency.

PMS 298 C may appear different on metal, plastic, vinyl, wood, or other surfaces due to absorption, texture, and reflectivity differences. Factors such as gloss level and how each substrate interacts with the paint influence the final look, especially for light or vivid blues like PMS 298 C. For brand applications involving multiple materials, always evaluate PMS 298 C on the actual substrates planned for your project to ensure visual consistency across elements.

For PMS 298 C, applying several thin, even coats with appropriate drying time between coats results in the most accurate and consistent finish. Because PMS 298 C is a light, chromatic blue, multiple coats may be needed for uniform coverage and vivid color. Avoid heavy application, as it can cause streaks or gloss inconsistencies. Allow each coat to dry fully before the next, following standard best practices for spray paint to achieve optimal brand and visual impact.

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 298 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 298 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.
