PMS 3385 C from the Pantone PMS System is a vivid, clean, and highly recognizable light turquoise. It conveys a contemporary, inviting, and fresh vibe, with an emphasis on visual distinctiveness and modernity. This color is valued in marketing, environmental graphics, and display contexts where strong brand presence and color fidelity are critical.

PMS 3385 C appears light in value, supported by a moderate light reflectance (LRV 51.53). The color shows a clearly cool tendency, with a hue that falls in the blue-green range. PMS 3385 C is notably saturated, giving it a bright, attention-getting character in most environments. The undertone is crisp and clean, leaning toward green but maintaining significant blue influence. The color may show perceptual shifts under different lighting conditions and can display increased vibrancy in gloss or semi-gloss finishes.

PMS 3385 C is most effective for brand, marketing, and environmental design where a light yet highly saturated turquoise is specified. Users should evaluate samples in controlled, brand-intended lighting to verify accuracy, as the color may appear differently under warm or cool illumination. Because of its brightness and saturation, coverage may require careful application, particularly over dark substrates or when using lower-hide sheens. Compared to similar hues, PMS 3385 C provides greater visual punch and clarity, with less grayness or muted quality.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 3385 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.
