Pantone™ PMS 416 C

The finish or sheen you select for Pantone PMS 416 C can noticeably change how the color looks when applied. Matte and satin finishes will deliver a muted, understated effect that aligns closely with the intended olive gray tone. Higher gloss finishes may make PMS 416 C appear slightly deeper and increase the perception of depth or richness, especially under direct light. When color-critical results are needed for brand or display work, choose the finish that best matches your reference standard and evaluate appearance in the intended lighting conditions for optimal results.

For the most even and brand-consistent result with Pantone PMS 416 C, apply several light coats of spray paint rather than one heavy coat. Allow each coat to become tacky or dry before applying the next layer. This approach helps minimize runs and surface defects, leading to a more uniform appearance that accurately represents the PMS 416 C target. Surface preparation is also important with muted shades like this to avoid highlighting imperfections in the substrate.

Always use the exact Pantone code, such as PMS 416 C, when ordering paint to ensure you get the correct color target. Pantone names alone may not clearly specify the desired shade, and similar names can exist for different formulations or sheens. The 'C' suffix in PMS 416 C indicates a specific series, so including it helps avoid confusion and ensures accurate color matching for branded or display applications.

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is based on the specific product type, not the color code. To find the SDS for a paint in PMS 416 C, first select the product format you need, such as spray paint or epoxy, then locate its SDS in the product's documentation or the SDS library. Always review the SDS for the chosen material before using it in your project.

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 416 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.
