Pantone™ PMS 505 C

Ordering PMS 505 C paint as a Pantone PMS match means you are requesting a color that visually matches the standardized Pantone 505 C reference. The PMS code specifies a color target, not a specific paint formula, process, or sheen. While MyPerfectColor matches the intended appearance of PMS 505 C as closely as possible, differences in material, finish, and lighting can impact the final result. Always confirm the match visually on your actual substrate and under the desired lighting conditions if brand-critical accuracy is required.

Choosing a standard Pantone match for PMS 505 C is appropriate for displays, exhibits, prototypes, and branded installations where achieving close visual alignment with the Pantone 505 C color is the main requirement. This approach is best when color accuracy for brand presentation is the priority, but precise substrate-specific matching or approval under site conditions is not required. For large-scale or permanent environments with strict brand oversight, consider evaluating a sample on your materials before full production.

For prototypes or concept models where brand color alignment is important, order PMS 505 C in the format that matches your process needs such as spray paint, paint pens, or house paint. Since materials and finishes affect how PMS 505 C appears, test the paint on your actual prototype substrate and under the same lighting conditions planned for presentation. This helps confirm the color represents your brand accurately during evaluations or reviews.

To order paint matched to PMS 505 C on MyPerfectColor, first select the desired paint type and sheen, such as spray paint, paint pen, or house paint. Choose the quantity you need and review any format-specific options. Confirm the color code (PMS 505 C) matches your project requirements before completing your order. Reviewing your selection carefully ensures you receive the correct format and match for your brand or display 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 505 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 505 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.
