PMS 5493 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection, a widely used industry standard for specifying colors in branding, display fabrication, and industrial design. The color presents as subdued, calm, and technical, with a low-key blue-green quality. Its moderate value and understated appearance make it suitable for environments seeking a quiet, professional, or institutional vibe.
PMS 5493 C appears as a medium-light shade with an LRV of 37.97, reflecting a balanced visibility that avoids both extremes. The color has a cool tendency, influenced by its blue-green hue. This color exhibits low to moderate saturation, resulting in a restrained and professional appearance. Undertones of green are present, producing a mild aquatic or institutional effect. PMS 5493 C is modestly sensitive to finish; gloss or matte choices will affect perceived depth, with matte finishes further muting its presence.
PMS 5493 C functions well when a quiet, credible, or understated brand presence is desired—such as in corporate signage, institutional displays, or design systems that require a reserved yet distinctive identity component. Evaluate this color under intended lighting conditions, as cooler environments may further mute the bluish-green quality, while warmer light can introduce subtle green shifts. Among similar cool blue-greens, PMS 5493 C is generally less saturated and lighter, distinguishing itself with a balanced, softened chromaticity that avoids sharpness and visual noise.

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 5493 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 5493 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.
