Pantone™ PMS 423 C

Pantone PMS 423 C is defined by the Pantone Matching System, which provides a standardized target for brand consistency. Most mainstream paint brands have their own unique palettes and do not offer true Pantone matches. Cross-referencing to other brands is rarely exact and can lead to visible differences, especially in demanding applications. For brand and marketing work where color accuracy is important, always specify and order paint mixed to the actual Pantone PMS 423 C standard rather than attempting to substitute with a near match from another line.

To purchase paint matched to Pantone PMS 423 C, first select the preferred paint type such as spray paint, paint pen, or another available format. Next, choose the desired finish or sheen, for example matte or gloss, to align with your brand or display goals. Specify the quantity you need, and review available options. If your application requires a sample or mockup first, consider ordering a smaller size to confirm appearance before committing to full production. Double check that Pantone PMS 423 C is listed as your color target at checkout to ensure accuracy in your order.

The finish or sheen you select for Pantone PMS 423 C will influence its perceived brightness, clarity, and visual impact. On higher-gloss surfaces, PMS 423 C may appear crisper, with slight increases in perceived brightness and subtle highlights. Matte or satin finishes will provide a more muted look that minimizes glare, which may emphasize the color's neutral qualities. For brand and display work, test samples in the intended finish and lighting conditions to ensure PMS 423 C matches your expectations for visual consistency and tone.

To maintain a consistent appearance of Pantone PMS 423 C on large areas, use the same paint batch and application method across the entire project. Plan for full, even coverage by applying paint in continuous sections and overlapping passes as needed. If multiple coats are required, ensure complete drying between coats and use consistent techniques for each layer. Avoid starting and stopping in the middle of visible surfaces, as this can create variation. Review the results under the final lighting conditions to confirm uniformity before installation or project completion.

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 423 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.
