Pantone™ PMS 678 C

Ordering paint matched to Pantone PMS 678 C means you are selecting a paint product mixed to visually approximate the standardized Pantone 678 C color target. The Pantone Matching System provides a visual reference for consistent color reproduction across vendors and materials. It is not a specific paint formula, manufacturing method, or sheen specification. Always evaluate the match in your intended lighting and finish against a physical Pantone standard to confirm it meets your expectations for branding or display applications.

For formal brand approvals or high-visibility applications using PMS 678 C, order a small sample of the paint and apply it to the actual substrate under your installed lighting conditions. This allows you to review the true appearance and ensure it aligns with your branding standards before committing to a full project. Sampling helps you avoid surprises related to finish, sheen, or substrate differences and is recommended for prototypes, displays, and multi-material builds.

PMS 678 C is a light, muted lavender with moderate reflectance. Like many light and pastel Pantone colors, coverage can be affected by substrate color and surface preparation. For best results, apply PMS 678 C over a neutral, primed base to promote consistent color and even hide. Multiple coats may be needed for uniform appearance, especially if painting over darker surfaces. Always allow proper dry time between coats to assess true coverage before proceeding.

If you are on a tight schedule for a brand or marketing event using PMS 678 C, expedited production may be available during checkout. If your deadline is critical, contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to discuss your timeline and confirm availability of rush options. This ensures your paint is ready when you need it for signage, exhibits, or brand installations.

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 678 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 678 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.
