PMS 454 C is a Pantone Matching System (PMS) color from the Pantone PMS collection. Visually, it presents as a light olive beige with understated, earthy qualities. The color has a practical, subdued, and professional character, frequently used where a natural or organic impression is needed. Its appearance is generally soft, muted, and unobtrusive, supporting themes where visual harmony and subtlety are required.

PMS 454 C appears noticeably light in value (with an LRV of 64.07). The color has a neutral to slightly warm undertone. PMS 454 C exhibits low to moderate chroma, giving it a muted and subdued appearance. The hue leans toward yellow-green, but in a restrained, earthy manner. This color generally resists significant shifts with finish changes, though higher gloss may increase perceived warmth.

PMS 454 C is suited to projects where a light, restrained, and natural tone is required for branding, display, or specification. It performs well in environments styled for calmness or approachability, especially in natural lighting or where adjacent materials have earthy or organic influences. Care should be taken to evaluate the color under both daylight and artificial lighting, as subtle green or yellow casts may become more apparent. It is less likely to overpower other design elements, which makes it effective for broad background fields or secondary branding applications rather than for high-impact focal uses. Compared to similar colors, PMS 454 C is typically softer and less intense, with lower visual weight.

Similar colors:
PMS 452 C: Slightly lighter and more neutral, resulting in an even softer presence.

PMS 453 C: Slightly darker and warmer, with increased beige tones for a stronger earthy emphasis.

PMS 5803 C: Cooler and more muted green, providing a quieter and more subdued impression.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 454 C for touch up?

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.
