Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

PMS 5797 C from the Pantone PMS System is a light, muted yellow-green that delivers a subdued and understated visual presence. The color blends clean, soft, and natural qualities with a technical and composed appearance, making it operationally suitable for environments that benefit from a gentle, yet distinct, green tone without high saturation.

PMS 5797 C has a light appearance, supported by a moderately high LRV of 62.16.

The color displays a cool-to-neutral tendency, with a muted yellow-green hue.

PMS 5797 C shows low to moderate saturation, giving it a subtle and understated quality.

The undertone is soft and slightly grayish, reducing the vividness commonly found in bright greens.

The color is sensitive to finish and lighting; gloss finishes can increase its visibility, while matte finishes emphasize its muted, natural appearance.

PMS 5797 C performs well as a secondary or background color in branding, display, and environmental graphic projects where a light, organic touch is desired without overwhelming brightness. In interior or controlled lighting conditions, this color generally maintains its subtlety, though stronger lighting can accentuate green notes. When compared to similar yellow-greens, it is less vibrant and better suited for projects requiring a calm, less saturated green. For production, always verify appearance with a physical sample and observe the finish and substrate, as these factors substantially influence its final look.

Similar colors:

  • PMS 580 C – Slightly lighter and more neutral, resulting in a paler, less green presence.
  • PMS 579 C – Lighter and somewhat warmer, appearing closer to an off-yellow.
  • PMS 614 C – Similar saturation but warmer and more beige/olive in undertone.

Can Pantone PMS 5797 C be matched to another paint company color directly?

Most paint brands use their own unique color systems, and direct matches are unlikely, especially for subtle or saturated Pantone colors. For brand consistency, it is best to specify PMS 5797 C directly and have it mixed to the Pantone standard.

Where can I find the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for paint matched to Pantone PMS 5797 C?

The Safety Data Sheet for paint made in Pantone PMS 5797 C is based on the paint product and type you select, not the color itself.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 5797 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.
