PMS 5523 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection. This color is visually characterized by an understated, muted appearance with a contemporary and technical vibe. Its cool blue-green hue is gentle and subdued, giving it a clean, soft, and modern impression. With a high light reflectance value, PMS 5523 C typically appears light and airy in most settings.

PMS 5523 C appears light in tone (LRV 70.01).

The color has a cool temperature, with dominant blue-green notes.

Its saturation is low to moderate, producing a muted effect rather than a vivid or bright finish.

PMS 5523 C exhibits a bluish undertone with subtle hints of green, leading to an overall soft aquamarine look.

The color is not significantly sensitive to finish, but higher gloss can slightly intensify its perceived chroma.

PMS 5523 C works best in contexts where a calm, contemporary, and understated color is required. In branded spaces or displays, it performs well when seeking a modern, reserved look that avoids visual dominance. Evaluate the color under intended lighting conditions, as the subtle blue-green undertone may shift slightly in warm versus cool lighting. Compared to other light blue-greens, it offers softer, more muted chroma, contributing to a restrained, almost pastel impression without being sterile.

  • PMS 551 C – Slightly lighter and less chromatic, providing an even more subdued appearance.
  • PMS 545 C – Warmer and greyer, reducing the blue-green presence.
  • PMS 5527 C – Slightly darker and more muted, leading to a more pronounced grey undertone.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 5523 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.
