PMS 3298 C is part of the Pantone PMS collection, which is widely used for brand specification, marketing displays, and industrial design. The color presents a robust, saturated green with a notably cool bias and is visually strong, technical, and assertive. It appears striking and bold, with a distinctly modern vibe, and is intended for applications demanding both vibrancy and reliable color communication.

- PMS 3298 C is perceived as dark due to its low LRV (9.01), contributing to its dramatic effect. - The color has a clear cool tendency, with a bias toward bluish-green rather than yellow-green. - PMS 3298 C shows strong saturation, imparting a vivid and high-impact visual presence. - The undertone of this color leans distinctly blue, ensuring it maintains a crisp, cool character under various lighting conditions. - The color may display some finish sensitivity; higher sheens can intensify perceived vibrancy and depth, while matte finishes will subdue the overall effect.

PMS 3298 C is operationally effective when a deep, cool green is required for corporate displays, branded fixtures, or marketing events. The color performs well under a range of lighting conditions but may appear darker in poorly lit spaces due to its low light reflectance. For consistent appearance, evaluate on the actual substrate and finish under final lighting conditions. Because of its strong saturation, multiple coats may be required for uniform coverage. The color’s cool undertone keeps it visually distinct from earthier or warmer greens, and it maintains separation from similar deep greens that trend toward yellow or black.

Similar colors:
PMS 3295 C – Similar cool green, but appears noticeably lighter and less saturated.

PMS 3308 C – Darker and more muted, trending closer to a blackened green with less chromatic intensity.

PMS 3288 C – Slightly lighter and less blue than PMS 3298 C, offering a more balanced green appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 3298 C

Why is PMS 3298 C not recommended for use as a touch-up color for an existing product or finish?

PMS 3298 C is specified as a color standard but does not define the original material, sheen, or substrate of an existing product. Without knowing the precise coating process and finish of the original item, using PMS 3298 C for touch-up routinely leads to visible differences and acceptance issues. For accurate restoration, a custom color match to the actual surface is required instead of referencing the general PMS code.

How do I order paint matched to Pantone PMS 3298 C on MyPerfectColor?

To order paint matched to PMS 3298 C, first confirm that PMS 3298 C is your target reference.

Review all details before submitting your order, as PMS 3298 C is produced as a brand-match offering in formats including spray paint, paint pens, and more for marketing and display applications.

What steps should I follow when evaluating a sample of PMS 3298 C for color approval?

Allow coatings to fully dry and cure before making any final color judgments. Consistent conditions help ensure reliable comparison to the Pantone PMS 3298 C standard without interference from variable factors.

When should I order a standard match to Pantone PMS 3298 C?

Ordering a standard match to PMS 3298 C is appropriate for most marketing, brand display, prototype, and exhibit applications where the Pantone PMS code is the visual reference and brand consistency is key. It is best suited when your main priority is accurately representing the intended brand color rather than matching a specific physical sample or OEM finish.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 3298 C for touch up?

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.
