Pantone™ PMS 455 C

PMS 455 C is a deep olive-brown that can look noticeably different under various light sources. Standard indoor lighting, daylight, or fluorescent lamps may each highlight different undertones in the color. It is best to view samples of PMS 455 C in the same lighting and environment where your brand or display will be installed to confirm the intended appearance. This helps avoid surprises and ensures your brand standards are met.

Paint matched to PMS 455 C is made to order for each request. Lead times can vary depending on the format you select, such as spray paint, paint pens, or other options, as well as current production volume. Most orders typically ship within a few business days, but larger or complex orders may take longer. Plan ahead if your project has specific deadlines or coordination needs.

Yes, PMS 455 C can appear quite different depending on the gloss or finish selected. A matte finish generally makes PMS 455 C look more muted and subdues its olive-green character, while higher gloss will increase apparent brightness and can highlight the color''s subtle green undertones. Always compare samples with the exact finish you intend to use for your brand or display to ensure you get the expected result.

PMS 455 C is a deep, moderately saturated color with a low light reflectance value. For best uniformity and brand consistency, consider using an appropriate undercoat, especially when painting over high-contrast or light substrates. Multiple coats may be required to achieve solid and streak-free color, especially in large or brand-critical applications. Testing on your intended surface is recommended to confirm coverage expectations before full 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 455 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.
