PMS 5513 C is specified within the Pantone PMS system, frequently utilized for identity-driven applications requiring consistent reproduction across various physical and digital materials. The color presents a calm, understated, and technical appearance, with qualities that are cool-toned, subdued, and gentle, making it operationally suitable for modern, light-oriented environments aiming for a sophisticated yet unobtrusive branded presence.

PMS 5513 C displays a light value, with a LRV of 64.07, contributing to its overall brightness. The color conveys a distinctly cool temperature. It exhibits low to moderate saturation, resulting in a muted and not visually intense appearance. It has a blue-green undertone, with subtle gray notes contributing to its subdued quality. PMS 5513 C is relatively insensitive to finish, but higher gloss may slightly increase perceived saturation and brightness.

PMS 5513 C is well suited for environments or objects that benefit from a soft, non-dominant blue-green, such as branded backdrops, signage, or architectural elements where calm, clarity, and approachability are prioritized. This color performs reliably in varied lighting but may shift cooler under daylight and become slightly grayer under incandescent sources. Surface preparation should ensure a smooth, even base to maintain color consistency; variations in substrate color may show through more on lighter, lower-saturation hues like this. Compared to other light blue-greens, PMS 5513 C presents a more subdued chroma and is less likely to overpower adjacent colors.

Similar colors:
PMS 552 C – Slightly lighter and less saturated, appearing even softer and paler.

PMS 5503 C – Somewhat darker with a marginally higher chroma, giving a deeper visual weight.

PMS 5507 C – Noticeably more muted and gray-green, making it more neutral and less blue than PMS 5513 C.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 5513 C

What should I know about shipping times for PMS 5513 C Pantone matched paint orders?

Shipping times for PMS 5513 C paint depend on your delivery location and the selected shipping method. Plan for both transit and any production lead time to make sure your project timeline is met. If you have a fixed installation or marketing schedule, order early to avoid delays, as standard or express transit options will impact your delivery window.

How do I make sure I order the correct color when requesting Pantone PMS 5513 C?

Always specify the full Pantone code 'PMS 5513 C' when placing an order. The combination of the number and the letter suffix uniquely identifies this light blue-green in the Pantone PMS system. Double-check your project specs and do not rely on just the color name or a partial code, as similar names with different codes can refer to very different colors within Pantone's range.

Should I use matte or gloss finish for my PMS 5513 C brand application?

For PMS 5513 C, choosing between matte and gloss depends on your brand goals and viewing conditions. Gloss finishes will make the color look brighter and slightly more saturated but may create glare under strong lighting or at certain angles. Matte reduces glare and provides a more muted look, which can benefit readability and subtlety for large displays. Consider how lighting, viewing angles, and the level of brand 'pop' needed will influence your finish choice.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 5513 C?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 5513 C for touch up?

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.
