PMS 3308 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection, designed for consistent and recognizable color reproduction across various brand and marketing materials. This color exhibits a saturated, dark, and cool green character with subtle blue undertones, lending it a technical, assertive, and stable presence in specification contexts. Its low light reflectance makes it suitable for applications where strong visual impact and color definition are desired.
PMS 3308 C appears very dark, with a low light reflectance value (LRV 4.1). The color presents as a cool-toned green, distinguished by noticeable blue influence. The hue is saturated, producing a bold and vivid appearance under most lighting conditions. This color has subtle blue undertones, which are more prominent in direct or cool lighting. Finish selection can affect perceived depth and richness, with higher gloss finishes amplifying saturation.
PMS 3308 C is frequently specified for signage, branded displays, and fixtures where a distinct and recognizable green is required. The color is often chosen in environments where green needs to appear authoritative and sophisticated rather than naturalistic. It is occasionally referenced in brand identity guides for sectors such as finance, healthcare, and collegiate institutions.
PMS 3308 C works well in projects requiring strong color demarcation and visual seriousness, especially where consistent branding across materials is critical. The color’s depth makes it effective on flat or dimensional surfaces, but its low lightness means lighting conditions should be carefully evaluated to prevent it from appearing nearly black in shadow or low ambient light. Surface sheen can noticeably impact the visual impression, with matte finishes softening the color and gloss finishes making it appear richer. Because of high saturation and depth, multiple coats may be required for uniform coverage on lighter substrates.
This Pantone PMS color is defined by the Pantone Matching System standard. Evaluate the color using a physical Pantone reference and a real paint sample in the intended lighting and finish. Paint appearance varies by finish and lighting.

To ensure you receive the correct color, always specify the full Pantone code when ordering PMS 3308 C. Pantone color names are not unique, and similar names may refer to different shades when suffixes like 'C' (Coated) or 'U' (Uncoated) are changed or omitted. Always use the full code 'PMS 3308 C' when placing your order to avoid receiving the wrong color match. If your brand guidelines require a specific finish or series, include all relevant details.
Ordering PMS 3308 C paint means you are requesting a paint product matched visually to the standardized Pantone PMS 3308 C color reference. This match is based on the Pantone color target itself, not a formula for a specific coating or a guarantee of a particular sheen or substrate. Always verify your result against a physical Pantone reference and consider finish and lighting, as these may change the perceived color.
For best results with PMS 3308 C spray paint, apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow time for each coat to set before applying the next. This approach helps achieve a uniform, vivid finish and reduces the risk of runs or uneven coverage, which is especially important with saturated colors like PMS 3308 C. Coverage on lighter substrates may require more coats due to the color's depth and saturation.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 3308 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.
