Pantone™ PMS 717 C

Matching Pantone PMS 717 C can be challenging because it is a vivid, highly saturated orange-yellow. Such colors are sensitive to finish, lighting, and substrate, so appearance may shift depending on how and where the paint is applied. MyPerfectColor specializes in color-true matches for Pantone brand projects, but slight variations can still occur due to the differences between printed standards and paints on various materials. Always evaluate a sample in your intended lighting and finish before scaling up a project, especially for brand-critical applications.

One spray can of PMS 717 C paint typically covers about 20 to 25 square feet per coat on smooth surfaces. Because PMS 717 C is a highly saturated orange-yellow, multiple coats may be needed to achieve uniform color and coverage, especially over contrasting backgrounds. For best results, plan on two or more coats for complete, vibrant coverage. Surface texture, application technique, and environmental factors also affect coverage, so calculate your needs with these variables in mind.

To ensure you receive the correct color, always order using the full Pantone PMS code: 'PMS 717 C.' Pantone codes define the exact color target, while names can sometimes be inconsistent or abbreviated. Including the letter suffix, such as 'C' for coated, helps prevent confusion and ensures accurate production for your project needs.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 717 C is made to order at MyPerfectColor. Production lead times can vary based on the type of product (spray paint, paint pen, brush-in-cap, etc.) and current production volume. Most Pantone matched paints ship within a few business days, but allow extra time for larger orders or specialty formats. For time-sensitive projects, verify current production times before placing your order.

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 717 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.
