Pantone™ PMS 4485 C

Ordering PMS 4485 C as a paint match means you are requesting a coating that visually matches the standardized Pantone PMS 4485 C color reference. Pantone PMS codes identify target colors for consistent reproduction across different vendors and materials. This does not specify a particular paint formula, pigment, manufacturing process, or finish. The match aims for visual alignment with the Pantone reference under standard conditions, and factors such as finish, sheen, and substrate can affect final appearance. This approach is intended for branded displays or prototype uses, not for touch-up or repair of existing systems.

PMS 4485 C can be provided in various formats designed for visual brand accuracy and marketing applications. Common options include custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, as well as other coatings like interior or exterior housepaint, epoxy, and urethane where suitable. Choose the format that best fits your application needs, such as spray paint for displays and signage or paint pens for detailed work. Each format is formulated to approximate PMS 4485 C as closely as possible for branded and prototype uses.

When specifying PMS 4485 C for pop-ups or retail settings, it is important to evaluate the color under the intended lighting conditions, as lighting can strongly influence the appearance and brand consistency. Also, consider the expected wear and exposure, and select a product format with durability suited for high-traffic public areas. Before full-scale rollout, sample the color on the actual substrate in your environment to ensure it meets your visual goals. Surface preparation and finish can affect both color perception and the professional look of the installation.

For PMS 4485 C spray paint, apply several thin coats instead of one heavy coat to achieve even coverage and color accuracy. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the product label. This approach helps avoid runs and ensures the characteristic muted, earthy effect of PMS 4485 C is maintained. Proper surface preparation and careful application contribute to a more brand-consistent and professional finish.

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 4485 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 4485 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.
