Pantone™ PMS 555 C

The sheen or finish you select for PMS 555 C can noticeably change its appearance. A higher gloss finish will generally make PMS 555 C look deeper and more saturated, which may also increase glare under lighting. A matte finish reduces reflections and can make the color look more muted. For best brand consistency, take into account the viewing distance, lighting, and substrate. Always verify the sheen against your brand standards before ordering.

PMS 555 C is specified as a standard brand color reference and is ideal for new display, signage, and prototype applications where brand color alignment is required. It is not intended for direct touch-up of existing finishes. If you need a touch-up grade result, provide a physical part for custom color matching to achieve the closest possible appearance on your specific substrate. Pantone matches are best used for branding and visual identity work, not for finish repair.

Before ordering PMS 555 C, check all documentation or brand standards to ensure the exact code and suffix are correct. Pantone PMS color codes may include suffixes or series such as ''C'' or ''U,'' and these can affect the appearance and output. Ordering based only on partial or assumed codes increases the risk of selecting the wrong color, so verify all details carefully with your brand guidance.

Safety and VOC (volatile organic compound) considerations for PMS 555 C depend entirely on the type of paint or coating format you select, such as spray paint or a specific liquid coating. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product you are using, follow all recommended safety practices, and apply in a well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protection. The Pantone color specification itself does not determine the safety or environmental profile of the finished product.

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 555 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 555 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.
