PMS 805 C – Pantone PMS System / collection – is a visually intense, fluorescent orange designed for situations requiring strong attention and distinct color presence. The color presents an energetic, bold, and impactful vibe, with a fluorescent appearance that stands out in both direct and ambient lighting. It is widely recognized for its conspicuousness and is often used in brand and marketing contexts where maximum visibility and memorability are priorities.
PMS 805 C appears moderately bright, with an LRV of 39.34, contributing to its high visual prominence without being overly light. The color is distinctly warm, leaning towards a saturated reddish-orange. PMS 805 C exhibits very high saturation, resulting in a vivid and eye-catching effect. The undertone of this color is fluorescent, with a pronounced warm orange cast and a hint of red that intensifies its visual boldness. The fluorescent quality makes PMS 805 C sensitive to finish and lighting; the color’s apparent brightness and vibrancy vary with lighting type (especially under UV or direct sun) and surface finish.
PMS 805 C is effective for branded displays, signage, and environments where immediate recognition or stand-out presence is required. The fluorescent formulation can exhibit significant variations depending on finish (gloss or matte) and lighting conditions, with increased vibrancy under UV or bright daylight. Application to smooth, well-prepared surfaces is recommended to maximize uniformity, as the color’s saturation can reveal substrate imperfections and may require multiple coats for full coverage. Relative to other strong oranges, PMS 805 C achieves higher visual intensity and impact but is less forgiving of inconsistent application and can shift noticeably in color appearance under different lighting.

The finish or sheen you choose for PMS 805 C paint has a direct effect on how the color is perceived. Gloss and satin finishes tend to make the fluorescent orange appear brighter and more saturated, maximizing visual impact. Matte finishes can mute the fluorescent intensity and may reduce perceived brightness, especially under low or indirect light. Because PMS 805 C is highly saturated and fluorescent, changes in sheen can create noticeable shifts in appearance. Sampling on your intended substrate and reviewing the finish under typical lighting is strongly advised before finalizing your choice.
PMS 805 C paint is made to order based on your selected product type and finish. As a custom product, revisions or returns are generally not possible once production begins. To help ensure you receive the intended result, carefully confirm your desired format (such as spray paint or housepaint) and finish (gloss, satin, or matte) before placing your order. If your project requires confirmation of color or appearance, ordering a sample is recommended prior to full production.
PMS 805 C is a unique Pantone color with a fluorescent and highly saturated orange hue. Most paint brands have their own color palettes and cannot guarantee a direct match to PMS 805 C, especially given the vividness and fluorescent characteristics. If your project requires the specific PMS 805 C color target, it is best to order using the Pantone reference through an authorized source rather than attempting to cross-reference with another paint brand.
If you need PMS 805 C paint quickly, expedited production options are available at checkout for many product formats. When timing is critical, it is recommended to select expedited service and contact MyPerfectColor to confirm current lead times and shipping options. This helps ensure your paint arrives on schedule for your display or marketing installation.
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 805 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 805 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.
