Pantone™ PMS 317 C

To achieve the best consistency when reordering Pantone PMS 317 C, use the same product type and sheen as your original order and reference the same Pantone PMS 317 C standard for color approval. Always apply the paint to similarly prepared surfaces and under similar lighting conditions. Variations in finish (matte vs gloss), substrate, or lighting can produce visible differences, especially with this very light, cool blue-green color. Retain a painted control sample from your original batch for direct side-by-side comparison if accuracy is critical.

Choosing between matte or gloss for Pantone PMS 317 C depends on your desired visual effect and environment. Matte will reduce glare and create a softer, low-contrast look, which may be better for close-up viewing or under direct lighting. Gloss provides more punch and can make the cool blue-green color appear clearer and slightly more saturated, but it may introduce reflections. Because PMS 317 C is sensitive to changes in finish due to its lightness, evaluate samples in your actual lighting to confirm your preference before ordering for your display.

No, Pantone PMS 317 C does not have a direct equivalent in other paint company color collections. Every paint brand develops its own palette, and cross-referencing is rarely exact, particularly for light or vivid hues like PMS 317 C. For accurate brand results, always specify the Pantone PMS 317 C code and review samples against an official Pantone reference to ensure you are getting the intended color target.

If you need Pantone PMS 317 C paint on a tight schedule, expedited production options are typically available during checkout. To ensure your deadline can be met, contact MyPerfectColor before placing the order. This allows you to confirm timing based on your exact requirements and select the best shipping and production options for your branding or display 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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 317 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 317 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.
