Pantone™ PMS 3435 C

The best way to ensure you get the correct version of PMS 3435 C is to confirm the full Pantone code, including any suffix or series, with your brand guidelines or documentation. Pantone PMS colors are specified using different codes or suffixes based on application and material, so double-checking the exact reference (such as 'C' for coated or 'U' for uncoated) helps avoid ordering a product that might not match your intended visual standard. If in doubt, consult your brand standards or request clarification before ordering.

PMS 3435 C is a very deep, saturated green with low light reflectance. Dark, high-chroma colors like this can require additional coats to achieve full coverage and an even finish, especially over light or contrasting surfaces. Using a gray or dark-tinted undercoat may help improve uniformity, but plan for at least two coats regardless of product format. Testing on your actual substrate is a good strategy to verify required steps for your project.

Yes, the appearance of PMS 3435 C can shift depending on the type of lighting and the environment where it is viewed. This deep green may look nearly black in low light or take on subtle blue or green tones under different bulbs or daylight conditions. Evaluate the painted sample under the same lighting as your final installation to confirm the color meets your expectations for branding and visual consistency.

Yes, plastics and other low surface energy materials can present adhesion challenges for any paint, including PMS 3435 C. Successful results often depend on choosing the right primer and surface prep for the specific plastic. Always test PMS 3435 C paint on a sample of the actual material before large-scale application to confirm adhesion and uniform color appearance. Consult with your project manager or materials supplier for substrate-specific recommendations.

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 3435 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.
