Pantone™ PMS 5195 C

To ensure you receive the correct color, always specify the full Pantone code including 'PMS 5195 C' when ordering. The letter suffix after the number (such as 'C' for coated) is critical, as it indicates the color standard version required by your brand or project. Relying only on the color name or omitting the suffix may result in receiving a different color than intended. Verifying all Pantone details from your brand guidelines before ordering reduces the risk of miscommunication and ensures results align with your intended color target.

When using spray paint in PMS 5195 C, it is best to apply several thin coats rather than one heavy coat. After each light application, allow time for the surface to become dry to the touch before applying the next coat. This approach minimizes the risk of runs, avoids uneven coverage, and helps you achieve the intended color appearance. The number of coats required can vary depending on substrate and color depth, so evaluate as you go for optimal results.

Spray paint matched to PMS 5195 C is well suited for prototyping and concept models where replicating the intended brand color is critical. To select the right paint format, consider the materials you are coating, as well as the final finish your evaluation requires. Always review samples under your installed lighting and in the desired sheen to confirm that the color meets visual expectations. This is especially important because PMS 5195 C is a muted dark purple and can look different under various lighting and finishes.

Spray paint mixed to match PMS 5195 C is custom made to order, which means it is produced specifically for your request and is not typically returnable. To reduce risk, take care to select the correct product type, sheen, and confirm all details before finalizing your order. If project requirements are strict or if you are unsure about the match, consider ordering a sample first to review color and finish in the intended environment prior to placing a larger order.

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 5195 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.
