PMS 417 C is a Pantone Matching System (PMS) standard color. It presents as a subdued, earthy olive green with a low to moderate level of chroma and a distinctly muted, utilitarian vibe. Typically described as understated, neutral, functional, and stable, this color is widely recognized in contexts where visual restraint and a subtle green presence are desired.
PMS 417 C is considered a darker shade, with a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV 16.02), resulting in a strong appearance against lighter backgrounds. The color leans cool, showing a mossy olive undertone rather than a warm or yellowed green. Saturation is low, making PMS 417 C a muted, less vibrant green. Undertones are gray and olive, imparting a utilitarian and grounded feel. The appearance of PMS 417 C can change with finish; matte applications tend to enhance its camouflaged effect, while gloss can introduce slight greenish highlights.
PMS 417 C is well suited for controlled brand deployments, wayfinding, and industrial or institutional products where a green is required but overt brightness must be avoided. It remains visually stable under a range of lighting conditions but can appear slightly grayer under cool fluorescent lights. Verify the appearance in the intended lighting and with the selected finish, as gloss levels can alter its depth and perceived undertone. Compared to other muted PMS greens, PMS 417 C resists strong yellow or blue shifts, keeping its olive neutrality.

How does the finish or sheen affect the appearance of Pantone PMS 417 C in my project?
PMS 417 C can appear different depending on the sheen selected. Matte finishes provide a muted, camouflaged look while glossier finishes may make the olive tone appear slightly more vibrant or green.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 417 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.
