Pantone™ PMS 500 C

The appearance of Pantone PMS 500 C can change depending on the material you are coating. Factors such as the substrate's absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity will influence both color strength and perceived tone. For example, PMS 500 C may appear lighter or darker, or shift slightly warmer or cooler, when applied to metal, plastic, wood, or fabric due to differences in how each surface interacts with the paint. To ensure your finished project achieves your brand's intended look, test PMS 500 C on the exact material you will use for your final display or installation.

Pantone PMS 500 C is a muted pink with moderate saturation, which can affect coverage depending on the substrate and chosen paint format. For some projects, you may need more than one coat to achieve consistent, even color, especially if the base is high-contrast or absorbent. Using a uniform, neutral primer or undercoat close in tone to PMS 500 C can help improve hide and reduce the likelihood of visible streaks or unevenness. It is important to plan for these steps when specifying PMS 500 C to achieve the most reliable brand presentation.

Pantone PMS 500 C is part of the Pantone Matching System, which is widely used for branding to ensure a consistent visual identity. By specifying PMS 500 C, your team and vendors share a precise color target across marketing, displays, and multiple materials. This helps make your brand presentation recognizable and unified, even when components are produced at different times or by different suppliers. For best results, reference the Pantone standard and confirm the final appearance of PMS 500 C under your actual lighting and finish conditions.

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 500 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.
