Pantone™ PMS 362 C

Pantone PMS 362 C is a vivid, saturated green. Highly chromatic colors like this often provide lower hide than less saturated hues, meaning you may need extra coats to achieve full, uniform color. For best results, apply PMS 362 C over a white or a very light neutral primer to boost color intensity and coverage. Plan for additional coats on porous or textured surfaces to avoid uneven appearance, especially for branding or display projects where visual consistency matters.

PMS 362 C responds strongly to finish selection. Gloss finishes intensify color saturation and depth, creating a bold, punchy look but can introduce reflected glare, especially under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce glare and soften visual impact, which may be preferred for close-up viewing or highly lit environments. Choose gloss if you want vivid color and maximum impact from a distance, and matte if legibility or subtlety is more important up close. Always consider the lighting and the viewer's typical distance from the finished surface.

Pantone PMS 362 C is specified as a standard reference color so your branding, signage, and displays present a unified, recognizable visual identity. Because Pantone PMS codes allow vendors to target the same precise color, using PMS 362 C across projects helps ensure consistency-even when working with different materials or manufacturing processes. Uniform use of PMS 362 C supports strong brand recognition and delivers the intended look for marketing and display applications.

Primer use with PMS 362 C depends on the substrate and paint type. Applying a suitable primer is recommended on bare, absorbent, or uneven surfaces to promote adhesion and improve color coverage, especially for saturated colors like PMS 362 C. A light or white primer can help achieve the target color intensity with fewer coats. For detailed primer recommendations, consult the technical data for your chosen paint format and ensure compatibility with your application surface.

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 362 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.
