Pantone™ PMS 8061 C

PMS 8061 C, like other Pantone colors, can look noticeably different depending on the substrate or material it is applied to. Factors such as surface texture, absorption rate, and reflectivity influence the final appearance. Metallic finishes such as PMS 8061 C are especially sensitive to surface preparation and smoothness. For brand-critical or multi-material projects, it is important to evaluate PMS 8061 C directly on the actual material and finish to confirm the color meets your visual requirements before committing to full production.

Sampling PMS 8061 C is strongly advised for high-visibility brand projects, large installations, or any scenario where the final appearance will be closely scrutinized. Because this metallic shade is sensitive to lighting conditions and substrate differences, a sample ensures you and your stakeholders are satisfied with the color, finish, and coverage on the specific surface planned for installation. This step helps avoid costly misalignment with brand standards or project expectations.

The finish or sheen can significantly change how PMS 8061 C appears. This color is designed to be metallic, so gloss or satin finishes will enhance its brightness and depth, while matte finishes can reduce the metallic effect and alter perceived saturation. Variations in surface gloss can also cause the color to shift when viewed from different angles or under various lighting conditions. When matching PMS 8061 C, specify your preferred finish and consider how it will interact with your environment and lighting.

PMS 8061 C matched paint is custom made to order and is not intended for touch-up or repair use. It is important to select the product type, sheen, and quantity carefully, as custom orders are difficult to change or return once produced. Sampling is recommended if the appearance, finish, or material compatibility is vital to your project to ensure the final result aligns with your brand requirements.

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 8061 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.
