Pantone™ PMS 4705 C

PMS 4705 C may look different when applied to different materials due to variations in absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity. For example, a matte, porous surface can make this muted brown appear flatter or lighter, while a glossy or smooth substrate may deepen its appearance. Changes in gloss and lighting can exaggerate these effects, especially since PMS 4705 C has a low light reflectance value. It is recommended to evaluate the color on the exact material and finish you plan to use in your project to ensure brand consistency and avoid unexpected results.

PMS 4705 C is available in multiple product formats suitable for brand, marketing, and display applications. These include custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and select other paint types such as urethane, epoxy, and interior or exterior housepaint. Select the format that best fits your project needs and substrate. Spray paint offers fast, uniform coverage for displays, while paint pens and bottles support detailed or smaller tasks. Review each format's characteristics to choose the most effective option for achieving a visually accurate match.

To obtain a consistent look when applying PMS 4705 C over large surfaces, use a single application method across the area and apply coats evenly. Plan for complete coverage, as dark or muted browns like PMS 4705 C can highlight patchiness if coat thickness varies. Spraying in controlled, overlapping passes or using a roller with consistent pressure helps prevent visible differences. Allow each coat to dry fully in between layers, and assess results under the lighting conditions present in the finished environment to verify color uniformity.

PMS 4705 C is a muted, earthy brown primarily used where branding or display projects require a grounded and professional appearance. While specific high-profile brand associations are not listed, it is selected in scenarios needing subdued color for background elements, signage, or displays that support and complement primary brand colors without dominating them. Always confirm any required brand approvals by consulting official Pantone references or standards for your project.

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 4705 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 4705 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.
