Pantone™ PMS 5545 C

Ordering PMS 5545 C as a Pantone match means you are requesting a paint formulated to visually match the standardized Pantone PMS 5545 C color target. The PMS code is a visual reference, not a universal formula, and does not specify a particular paint type, finish, or application process. You are purchasing a color match based on the Pantone standard, intended for consistent brand and display use across various projects and substrates.

PMS 5545 C is available in multiple paint formats to suit brand, display, and industrial design needs. You can typically order custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, epoxy, urethane, and interior or exterior housepaint. Choose the format that best matches your application method and project requirements. For surface testing or detail work, smaller sizes like paint pens and bottles may be useful. For larger branding or fabrication jobs, spray paint or bulk coatings are often preferred.

To accurately compare samples to Pantone PMS 5545 C, use consistent lighting and view both the standard and your sample side by side. Make sure you are using the same substrate type and finish for both the reference and the sample being evaluated. Allow any coatings to dry and fully cure before making a final judgment, as color can shift during drying. Assess the color in the actual environment where it will be used, as lighting can impact its blue-green balance and overall appearance.

For consistent results with PMS 5545 C across large surfaces, use the same application method and product batch throughout your project. Plan your coats to avoid overlaps and patchiness, making sure each layer dries according to instructions before applying the next. Work systematically across sections for even coverage. Since PMS 5545 C is a muted, medium-dark color, ensure the surface is properly cleaned and prepared to avoid unevenness that may be more noticeable due to its subtle character.

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 5545 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 5545 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.
