PMS 476 C is part of the Pantone PMS system, which is widely used for standardized brand and product color specification. This color presents as a dark, neutral-to-warm brown with a subtle, classic presence. Its vibe is grounded, stable, mature, understated, and professional. The color’s low reflectance value makes it suitable for applications where a strong sense of solidity or reduced visual noise is required.
- PMS 476 C is very dark in appearance, with an LRV of 4.1. - The color shows a neutral-to-warm tendency due to its hue placement. - PMS 476 C exhibits low chroma, resulting in a muted, earthy saturation. - This color has brown undertones, contributing to a subdued, stable aesthetic. - The finish can affect perceived depth; higher-gloss finishes may introduce slight warmth or richness, while matte treatments emphasize its darkness.
PMS 476 C is an effective choice for brand or display projects requiring a solid, less obtrusive background or accent. It performs best where consistent, dense color coverage is needed to communicate reliability or formality. Care should be taken with lighting, as low ambient light can cause the color to read nearly black; brighter lighting may reveal more of the brown undertone. Compared to similar colors, PMS 476 C will appear more muted and dark, and less saturated or vivid.

Pantone PMS 476 C is specified as a consistent color standard for logos, displays, and branded environments. By using PMS 476 C across different materials and formats, brands ensure that their visual identity remains recognizable and unified regardless of location or application. This helps communicate reliability and reinforces brand recognition in marketing, presentations, and public-facing installations. Always specify the exact PMS code to maintain alignment with brand guidelines and avoid mismatched colors that could undermine visual consistency.
Transit times for Pantone PMS 476 C paint depend on your shipping address and the method you select during checkout. Production and shipping schedules may also be impacted by current order volume or other factors. To avoid deadline issues, it is important to place orders early and allow extra time for delivery, especially for time-sensitive marketing or brand installations. If you have a firm deadline, contact customer service to discuss available shipping options and expected delivery windows.
Pantone PMS 476 C is a very dark and muted brown, which generally provides good hide compared to highly saturated or bright colors. However, for best results, surface preparation and appropriate priming are important, especially when painting over light colors or uneven surfaces. Applying multiple thin coats can help achieve uniform color and a professional appearance. Always review application instructions for the specific paint format you select to ensure coverage meets brand standards.
Pantone PMS 476 C is available as custom spray paint and in other formats including paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and additional options such as epoxy and urethane coatings where offered. The right format depends on your application method and project requirements. Spray paint is commonly chosen for branding, displays, and prototypes that need uniform coverage over large surfaces or complex shapes. Paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are better for detail work or small display elements. Always verify the format fits your substrate and intended use for brand-facing projects.
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 476 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 476 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.
