Pantone™ PMS 420 C

Pantone PMS 420 C is part of the Pantone Matching System, which is a unique color standard used for brand consistency. Other paint brands have their own separate palettes developed independently from Pantone. As a result, there is rarely a direct or exact conversion from PMS 420 C to another paint company color. Differences in base formulations, pigments, and finishes mean that even visually similar colors may appear different once applied. For projects where brand alignment matters, it is best to order products specifically matched to Pantone PMS 420 C rather than searching for substitutes in other collections.

The SDS for paint made in Pantone PMS 420 C depends on the type of product you select, such as spray paint, house paint, or specialty coatings. The SDS covers the safety and handling information for the specific paint formulation, not the PMS color itself. To locate the appropriate SDS, go to the SDS library on the product page or contact customer service with details about the format you are ordering. Review the SDS before use to ensure compliance and safe handling.

Pantone PMS 420 C is a licensed color standard, and only authorized producers can reproduce it according to Pantone's specifications. Ordering from a licensed provider ensures the paint is formulated and matched using the correct processes to meet Pantone's requirements for brand consistency. This is important when visual alignment with brand standards is required in marketing, display, or fabrication environments. Unlicensed matches may result in unexpected color shifts and risk brand inconsistency.

When ordering Pantone PMS 420 C, select the paint product type based on where and how the color will be used. For indoor brand displays, exhibits, or signage not exposed to weather, interior paint and specialty finishes can provide the needed color uniformity. For exterior installations with sun, rain, or temperature changes, choose an exterior-rated formula to ensure durability and maintain appearance over time. Confirm your performance needs before selecting the format to support your specific project environment.

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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 420 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 420 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.
