Pantone™ PMS 4495 C

PMS 4495 C is a Pantone color standard designed for brand and marketing consistency, not for matching existing product coatings. Pantone codes specify only the color target, without defining sheen, substrate, or application method. If you try to use PMS 4495 C as a touch-up reference, there is a high risk that the result will not visually blend with existing surfaces due to differences in finish or previous material. For reliable results when working with an existing product or coating, a custom match to the actual material is recommended.

Ordering PMS 4495 C as a standard Pantone match is correct when your project requires a consistent, recognizable color based directly on the Pantone reference. This is common for display fabrication, marketing installations, exhibit components, prototypes, and branded environments where the goal is to align with graphic standards. Use a standard Pantone match when the visual target is the Pantone color itself rather than matching an existing finish on a specific substrate.

Surface texture can change how PMS 4495 C is perceived by influencing light reflection and shadowing. On smoother, glossier surfaces the color may appear a bit deeper and richer, while matte or textured finishes will emphasize its muted, earthy quality and make it look slightly lighter or less saturated. Always evaluate PMS 4495 C samples on the intended substrate and finish to confirm you are getting the desired visual effect for your project.

Good surface preparation is essential for consistent results with PMS 4495 C. Start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, oils, or residues. Degrease if needed. For most applications, lightly scuff glossy or smooth surfaces to promote adhesion. Always allow the surface to dry fully. Before full application, do a small test spot to confirm adhesion and appearance under your lighting. Following these steps supports durable and visually consistent results.

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 4495 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 4495 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.
