Pantone™ PMS 353 C

Pantone PMS 353 C is used by brands and organizations seeking a light, refreshing mint green for visual identity, especially where a contemporary or health-centric look is required. While no specific household-name brands are publicly documented for PMS 353 C, it is commonly specified in signage, event activations, displays, and point-of-sale materials to evoke approachability and clarity. This color is chosen by marketing teams aiming for a gentler green that maintains visibility without overwhelming saturation. For any branded application, always confirm PMS 353 C is the official callout in the visual standards documentation before specifying for production.

Pantone PMS 353 C is a light mint with moderate chroma and is sensitive to changes in sheen. Matte finishes will make the color appear softer and may emphasize surface texture or imperfections. Glossy or satin finishes tend to brighten the color, increase perceived saturation, and create reflections that can either enhance or distort the intended look under strong lighting. For panel displays or signage seen up close, matte or eggshell sheens give a more uniform look. For high-impact visuals or environments where the surface must be cleaned frequently, glossier finishes may be preferred. Always sample the sheen on the actual substrate and under typical lighting, as PMS 353 C can shift from subdued to more pronounced depending on these conditions.

For best consistency with Pantone PMS 353 C on repeat orders, use the same product type, sheen, and always reference the PMS 353 C standard. Small variations may occur between batches due to differences in materials and manufacturing. To achieve stable brand presence, document the sheens and products used in each application, and if possible, retain an approved sample panel for future comparison. Avoid switching substrates or finishes without confirming the result. For large or multi-phase projects, order all material together or coordinate test samples before final production.

Pantone PMS 353 C paint should not be relied on for spot touch-up or repairs on existing coated parts. Brand color reproduction using the PMS 353 C standard is intended for new work or marketing installations, not for matching aging, worn, or previously painted surfaces. If you need to blend PMS 353 C onto an existing part or surface, the correct approach is to send a physical sample of the actual part or panel for a custom match. This ensures the new coating aligns visually with the real-world condition, not just the Pantone specification.

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 353 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.
