Pantone™ PMS 487 C

Pantone PMS 487 C is a light, muted pink-beige with moderate chroma, so coverage is typically mid-range. While not as challenging as highly saturated colors, a uniform appearance may still require more than one coat depending on the substrate and base color. For brand-critical applications, plan for a quality primer and at least two finish coats to achieve consistent color and hide, especially when painting over darker surfaces.

Pantone PMS 487 C can be ordered as custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and various other paint formats suitable for brand and display applications. The best format depends on your project needs. Spray paint is ideal for large, even surfaces or fast application. Paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles work well for smaller areas or details. Availability may depend on your chosen substrate, so review format options when placing your order.

The durability of Pantone PMS 487 C spray paint depends on how well you prepare the surface, your choice of primer, whether you use a protective topcoat, and the exposure conditions. For brand environments where visual impact is critical, be sure to select a paint type matched to your application's needs. Indoor settings with minimal abrasion require less protection, while exterior or high-traffic areas benefit from additional clear topcoats to extend longevity and preserve color.

Pantone PMS 487 C is designed for accurate brand color reproduction in new brand-facing displays and projects. If you need to match existing surfaces for detailed touch-up work, sending a physical part for a custom match is recommended. This ensures the result aligns closely with your specific substrate and finish. Standard Pantone matches are ideal when consistency with the Pantone reference is your primary goal, not for repairing or blending into existing finishes.

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 487 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.
