Pantone™ PMS 560 C

Pantone PMS 560 C is a standardized color used to maintain brand consistency across different materials and projects. Using a licensed and authorized source ensures that your PMS 560 C paint is matched to the official Pantone standard, rather than an unverified approximation. This reduces risks of color mismatch that could undermine your brand visuals or fail to meet approval requirements, especially in marketing and display work. Always confirm with your vendor that paints are matched from a licensed Pantone reference and not simply color-matched by eye or digital screen.

When using PMS 560 C for a marketing, display, or brand project, always order a sample in the intended format and sheen before placing a large or high-visibility order. Evaluate the sample under the actual lighting and on the same substrate as the final installation. This helps confirm that PMS 560 C appears as intended in your environment, avoiding surprises after production. Once approved by stakeholders or brand managers, use the approved sample or reference for final ordering to ensure brand consistency and reduce the risk of rework.

PMS 560 C can appear lighter, darker, or more muted depending on the texture of the painted surface. Smoother surfaces tend to make the color appear deeper and glossier finishes can amplify its blue-green undertones. On textured or matte surfaces, PMS 560 C may look softer and less saturated due to increased light diffusion and shadowing. Always sample PMS 560 C on the actual substrate and with the intended finish to preview the result under real conditions before large-scale use.

When using PMS 560 C on plastics or low-surface-energy materials, adhesion can vary based on the plastic type and surface preparation. Many plastics require specialized primers or surface treatments for the paint to bond reliably. It is important to test PMS 560 C paint on a sample of your actual material before committing to full production, both to check for adhesion and to confirm that the color appearance meets your expectations under installed lighting and finish.

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 560 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 560 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.
