Pantone™ PMS 7488 C

Pantone PMS 7488 C is a standardized brand color used to ensure consistency across different materials and vendors. Most paint brands have their own unique color collections and formulas, which often do not include a direct match for vivid Pantone hues like PMS 7488 C. Cross-referencing is rarely exact, and equivalent options may differ in brightness, undertone, or saturation. For brand accuracy and reliable visual consistency, specifying PMS 7488 C directly is preferred over seeking an alternate paint brand code.

To achieve the best results with Pantone PMS 7488 C paint, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, grease, or residue. If the substrate is glossy or smooth, lightly scuff-sand to improve adhesion. Make sure the area is completely dry before painting. For highly saturated colors like PMS 7488 C, using a white primer can help achieve true color coverage and reduce the number of coats needed. Always test a small patch in the intended finish and lighting to confirm appearance before full-scale application.

Pantone PMS 7488 C is specified in brand standards to communicate a precise visual identity across marketing materials, displays, and environments. Using PMS 7488 C ensures that all components reflect the same recognizable green, regardless of production method or substrate. This consistency helps maintain a unified brand impression, which is essential for exhibits, pop-ups, retail activations, and any marketing-driven installation where color accuracy signals brand quality.

For large areas using Pantone PMS 7488 C, plan the application so you work methodically section by section. Use consistent technique and overlap wet edges to prevent visible lines. Highly saturated colors like PMS 7488 C can require more coats for full coverage, especially on contrasting or textured substrates, so apply thin, even layers rather than trying to achieve coverage in one pass. Allow each coat to dry completely and review the surface in the intended lighting to be sure the color is even and meets brand 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7488 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.
