Pantone™ PMS 693 C

Ordering Pantone PMS 693 C in paint means you are requesting a color match to the PMS 693 C visual standard as defined by Pantone. The PMS code is a reference point for color consistency; it is not a coating formulation or a process specification. Paint matched to PMS 693 C is produced to visually simulate the Pantone target as closely as possible in the selected format and finish. Differences in substrate, sheen, and lighting can affect the perceived result, so approval should always be made visually under project-relevant conditions.

Authorized reproduction ensures that your Pantone PMS 693 C paint order closely aligns with the official Pantone standard. Pantone colors are licensed, standardized references. Ordering from an authorized source like MyPerfectColor helps achieve brand-required consistency, as the paint is formulated by referencing the official Pantone PMS 693 C guide. This is critical for display, marketing, and industrial design projects where visual accuracy matters.

When using Pantone PMS 693 C matched paint on metal or powder coated parts, proper surface prep is key. Clean and scuff the substrate to ensure good adhesion. Existing coatings, gloss level, and any substrate color can impact the final appearance of PMS 693 C, especially since lighter pinks are sensitive to underlying tones. Always review a sample on your actual part before full-scale use to confirm the visual outcome meets your requirements.

The choice of sheen can influence how Pantone PMS 693 C looks on your project. Higher-gloss finishes may make the pink appear slightly more vibrant, while flatter finishes can mute it. For brand-facing displays or prototypes, select sheen based on where and how the painted surface will be viewed, taking into account substrate type and desired level of visual impact. Always check the color and sheen together in project lighting to ensure the result matches expectations.

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 693 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 693 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.
