Pantone™ PMS 617 C

Pantone PMS 617 C is a standard color target, but its appearance can change depending on the substrate. Materials like metal, plastic, and wood differ in absorption, texture, and reflectivity, which can cause PMS 617 C to look lighter, darker, glossier, or more muted. For projects where color consistency is critical, always evaluate PMS 617 C in your chosen product format on the actual material that will be used in the final application. This approach helps ensure you understand how the color will be perceived in its real environment.

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is specific to the type of paint or coating, not to the Pantone PMS 617 C color itself. To find the correct SDS, select the product type you plan to order (such as spray paint or urethane) and consult the SDS library for that product. If you need assistance locating the right document for your PMS 617 C order, contact customer service with your product details.

Yes, the finish or sheen can affect how Pantone PMS 617 C appears, even if the color formula targets the same code. A gloss finish can make PMS 617 C look brighter and more saturated, while a matte finish may appear more muted or lighter. When comparing samples or approving brand colors, always compare the same finish type on the same substrate for the most accurate evaluation.

One 11-ounce spray can of Pantone PMS 617 C generally covers about 20 square feet in one coat under typical conditions. However, total coverage depends on surface texture, color contrast with the substrate, number of coats, and application method. For precise color and hide, especially over contrasting backgrounds or on rough surfaces, plan for additional coats and consider a test spray on your actual material before final ordering.

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 617 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 617 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.
