PMS 548 C, from the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection, is recognized for its strong, dark, and professional presence. The color presents a technical and reliable vibe, combining understated saturation with a distinctly cool character. It is often valued in environments where authority, clarity, and a modern aesthetic are needed.
PMS 548 C appears notably dark, with a low light reflectance value (LRV 3.8) indicating limited reflectivity.
The color exhibits cool undertones, dominated by a blue-green base with no perceptible warmth.
It maintains moderate chroma, providing a solid appearance without being overly vivid.
The base hue leans toward a blue that is subtly influenced by green, supporting a technical and formal feel.
This color can be sensitive to finish; gloss or semi-gloss finishes may slightly intensify the blue-green undertone, while matte finishes may emphasize its depth.
PMS 548 C performs well in environments requiring a strong, professional brand presence, such as corporate displays, signage, and environments where color consistency in visual identity is critical. For best results, carefully evaluate the color under the intended lighting and with the planned finish, as shifts in sheen can alter perception and depth. Surface preparation is important due to the color’s depth; underlying surface inconsistencies or high-contrast substrates may become visible and require additional coats for uniform coverage. Compared to similar deep blue-green options, PMS 548 C stands out for its distinctly cool tone and technical clarity.

The safety and VOC (volatile organic compound) profile of PMS 548 C matched paint depends on the specific product type you select, such as spray paint, brush-in-cap bottle, or two-part epoxy. Always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for your chosen product prior to use. Follow all recommended ventilation, handling, and personal protective equipment guidelines listed in the SDS and on product packaging. If you work in a brand or marketing environment, make sure all users understand safe use practices for the format ordered.
For brand, marketing, or display projects requiring strict color signoff, order a sample of PMS 548 C in the intended product format. Test the color on your actual substrate and under the same lighting where it will be used. This approach allows all stakeholders to evaluate the appearance and approve it before committing to larger production orders. Sampling helps ensure the final result meets your brand expectations and can reveal any appearance shifts due to sheen or surface differences.
The appearance of PMS 548 C can shift significantly depending on lighting. Cool blue-green tones like PMS 548 C may appear darker or less saturated under warm light and more vivid or blue under cool or daylight-balanced lighting. To ensure you achieve brand-accurate results, always assess samples of PMS 548 C under the actual lighting conditions of the final installation before proceeding with full production.
Shipping transit time for PMS 548 C matched paint is affected by your location, the chosen shipping method, and carrier performance. For time-sensitive marketing or brand installations, factor in standard production lead times plus estimated transit. Planning in advance ensures you receive the paint before your scheduled build or event.
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 548 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 548 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.
