PMS 682 C is part of the Pantone Matching System (Pantone PMS) collection, which is an industry standard for color specification in branding, display fabrication, and industrial design. The color delivers a deep, subdued, and mature purple character with a noticeable red-violet undertone. Its appearance is described as substantive, grounded, and professional. The low light reflectivity and medium chroma make it an effective choice for environments where a color needs to read as strong but not overpowering, lending a controlled, corporate, and visually stable impression.
PMS 682 C appears as a dark color with an LRV of 13.16, reflecting low amounts of light.
The color has a distinct cool tendency due to its significant purple and red-violet influence.
PMS 682 C exhibits moderate chroma for a purple, making it saturated without feeling overly vivid or fluorescent.
Undertones are grounded in violet with subtle warmth from red, providing visual depth.
This color can shift noticeably in appearance depending on lighting; side-lighting can enhance the red content.
Perceptual richness may vary with finish: glossier finishes can intensify the color’s saturation, while matte finishes may mute it further.
PMS 682 C works best in settings where a strong but understated purple is needed—such as branding backdrops, exhibit components, or marketing displays demanding visual differentiation that is not overly bright. Due to its low reflectance, the color may look even darker in subdued lighting or shadowed architectural locations. Surfaces should be evenly prepared, as darker hues can emphasize flaws or unevenness. When compared to other purples, PMS 682 C sits in a balanced position between warmth and coolness, and its restrained chroma prevents it from appearing too loud or artificial.

PMS 682 C is a deep, moderately saturated purple that may require additional coats for uniform coverage. Highly saturated colors like PMS 682 C tend to have lower hide because of the pigments used to achieve vividness. For best brand-consistent results, plan for at least two coats, especially when applying over light or contrasting bases. Proper priming and even surface preparation also help achieve the intended color appearance.
The appearance of PMS 682 C can vary with changes in surface texture. Glossy or smooth surfaces will reflect more light and can make the purple appear deeper and somewhat more saturated, while matte or textured surfaces may diffuse light and cause the color to look slightly lighter or more muted. Uneven or rough textures can also create visual shadowing, potentially affecting brand consistency. For projects where uniform color perception is critical, use a consistently prepared surface and specify finishes that align with your visual standard.
Shipping transit times for PMS 682 C Pantone-matched paint depend on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout. Custom-matched paints are made to order, so you should also factor in production time in addition to transit time. If your branding or marketing schedule is time-sensitive, plan ahead and consider expedited shipping options to ensure your project is not delayed.
PMS 682 C paint is intended for brand color reproduction in marketing, display, and prototyping applications, not for touch-up of existing coatings. When a precise touch-up is needed, especially to blend with an existing part or finish, you should send a physical part for a custom match. This ensures the paint aligns with the actual appearance of your specific component rather than just the Pantone reference color.
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 682 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 682 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.
