Pantone™ PMS 587 C

Pantone PMS 587 C is a standardized color reference that enables brand, marketing, and fabrication teams to specify the same yellow-green shade across projects and materials. Using PMS 587 C as defined in your brand standards helps ensure that signage, displays, and environments present a unified visual identity. This consistency is essential for brand recognition and professional execution in branded spaces.

PMS 587 C is a light, moderately saturated yellow-green that can reveal application inconsistencies, especially on larger areas. For best results, use uniform surface preparation, maintain a consistent spray or roller technique, and apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Plan your work to allow for edge blending and avoid visible lap marks. Evaluate coverage in the intended lighting and finish, as PMS 587 C can appear uneven if applied inconsistently.

Specifying 'PMS 587 C' ensures you are referencing the exact color standard required for your project. Pantone PMS codes may include suffixes such as 'C' for coated or 'U' for uncoated that indicate specific references. Before ordering, always confirm the exact code from your brand guidelines or project documentation, as selecting the wrong suffix or series could result in a color difference or mismatch relative to the intended brand color.

The need for primer depends on the surface, paint type, and exposure. For PMS 587 C, using a suitable primer is recommended when painting over bare, uneven, or contrasting surfaces, or when additional adhesion and coverage are needed. If you are unsure, refer to any substrate-specific or paint manufacturer guidance to help determine when priming is needed to achieve uniform color and adhesion for PMS 587 C.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 587 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.
