Pantone™ PMS 453 C

Pantone PMS 453 C is defined by the Pantone Matching System, which sets an exact color target rather than a specific paint formula. Matching this standard in paint can be challenging due to the influence of material, finish, and lighting. MyPerfectColor formulates paint to visually align with Pantone PMS 453 C using both the official Pantone reference and real-world paint samples. It is recommended to verify color using a physical Pantone guide and a painted sample in your intended conditions to ensure it meets your brand and project requirements.

The SDS for paint matched to Pantone PMS 453 C is determined by the paint type and not by the color code itself. To access the relevant SDS, select the product and format you plan to use, then refer to the SDS section for that product on the MyPerfectColor website. If you have ordered spray paint or another format in PMS 453 C, review the SDS for your selected paint type to obtain safety and handling information.

The appearance of Pantone PMS 453 C can be influenced by the surface texture to which it is applied. A smooth, flat surface will display the color more uniformly, while rough or textured surfaces can create minor shadowing or reflectivity effects that may cause PMS 453 C to appear slightly darker or less saturated. Although PMS 453 C is less sensitive to finish changes than some brighter colors, evaluating a paint sample on your actual substrate is recommended for final approval.

One standard spray can of paint matched to Pantone PMS 453 C typically covers about 20 to 25 square feet per coat under ideal conditions. Actual coverage may vary depending on the surface texture, color of the substrate, and application technique. For best results, calculate the total square footage and consider the required number of coats for full coverage, especially if covering contrasting surfaces. Ordering extra cans is recommended if color uniformity is critical for your brand or display installation.

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 453 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 453 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.
