PMS 8423 C is part of the Pantone PMS system, identified as a metallic color. Its overall impression is bold, deep, and industrial with a cool metallic edge. The color projects strength and modernity while maintaining an understated, technical presence. The vibe aligns with professional, impactful, and brand-focused applications, making it suitable for highly visible, specification-driven projects.

- PMS 8423 C appears as a dark color with moderate reflectance (LRV 12.5). - The color is cool-leaning for a metallic, positioned on the warm-cool spectrum due to minimal yellow or brown influence. - This color exhibits moderate chroma, providing color distinctness without maximum vividness. - PMS 8423 C presents a metallic undertone, which impacts its reflectivity and finish sensitivity. - The appearance of this color is particularly sensitive to lighting and finish selection due to its metallic composition.

PMS 8423 C works well on surfaces and components where a deep, metallic effect is needed for visual impact—often in high-traffic brand environments, displays, or exhibition components. It is critical to evaluate the finish and lighting, as these factors can significantly influence metallic color perception. When compared to other metallics, PMS 8423 C maintains a cooler, less yellowed appearance and can display a more technical, machined effect depending on substrate and coating method. Adequate surface preparation is essential to avoid visual irregularities that metallic finishes can emphasize.

It is appropriate when you want to achieve recognizable brand color on a painted surface or prototype without a formal approval loop or multi-material matching.

What product formats are available for Pantone PMS 8423 C, and how should I choose?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 8423 C for touch up?

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.
