PMS 9223 C is a Pantone Matching System color specified for consistent visual communication across branding and display applications. It conveys a soft, airy, clean, contemporary, and approachable green character without strong visual weight.

The color reads as light, with an LRV of 66.01. It leans slightly warm due to its yellow-green orientation and has low to moderate saturation, giving it a restrained, controlled appearance. A gentle yellow undertone keeps the color from appearing cool or bluish.

PMS 9223 C works well on brand displays, signage elements, and large surface areas where a light green presence is desired without visual intensity. Because it is light and relatively low in saturation, careful surface preparation and uniform priming can help achieve even coverage. Finish selection and lighting conditions can influence whether the color reads more yellow or more neutral green, so evaluation in the intended environment is important.

Similar colors:

PMS 9222 C: slightly lighter and more yellow-forward, with less green depth.
PMS 9224 C: a touch darker and cooler, with a more defined green presence.
PMS 615 C: more muted and neutral, with reduced freshness compared to PMS 9223 C.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 9223 C

What safety and VOC considerations should I be aware of when ordering paint matched to Pantone PMS 9223 C?

Paints matched to Pantone PMS 9223 C are available in a variety of formats, each with its own safety and VOC (volatile organic compound) profile. Before using any product, review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the specific paint type you select to understand requirements for ventilation, handling, personal protective equipment, and regulatory compliance. Always follow standard safety practices and consider the application environment when choosing a product format. If you have safety or environmental concerns, consult the product SDS and select the option that aligns with your project needs.

How should I select the right sheen for my Pantone PMS 9223 C paint application?

The sheen you choose for Pantone PMS 9223 C can affect how the color appears in your project. Higher sheens (such as gloss) can make PMS 9223 C look more vivid and reflective, while lower sheens (such as matte) may give a softer appearance and minimize glare. Consider factors such as viewing distance, substrate texture, lighting, and the desired visual impact. For brand and marketing applications, ensure the sheen is appropriate for your display, signage, or prototype specifications, and confirm the effect on color perception before finalizing your order.

How does surface texture impact the appearance of Pantone PMS 9223 C?

Surface texture has a significant influence on the perceived appearance of Pantone PMS 9223 C. Smoother surfaces generally reflect more light, making the color look brighter and more vibrant, while textured or matte surfaces diffuse light and may make the color appear more muted or darker. Shadowing and reflectivity introduced by the substrate can also affect how the color is seen, especially under different lighting conditions. Always test on your actual substrate or review a production sample to confirm the color effect in your intended context.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 9223 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.
