Pantone™ PMS Hexachrome Orange

Ordering PMS Hexachrome Orange as a paint match means you are requesting paint that visually matches the Pantone PMS Hexachrome Orange color standard as defined by the Pantone Matching System. It is important to understand that Pantone PMS is a standardized visual reference for color, not a paint formula or manufacturing process. The paint is matched by eye or instrument to the PMS standard, but results can vary based on substrate, finish, and product type. Always compare with a physical Pantone reference and sample the paint as applied in your specific conditions to ensure it meets your expectations for your branding or display project.

When applying PMS Hexachrome Orange to plastics or other low-energy surfaces, adhesion can be a challenge because many plastics require special primers or surface preparation. The right primer or paint system depends on the specific type of plastic. It is essential to test the PMS Hexachrome Orange paint on the actual substrate before full production. This ensures proper adhesion and appearance, as both can be affected by the surface type and preparation. Consult product instructions and sample first for best results in brand displays or signage.

The sheen or finish you select for PMS Hexachrome Orange can significantly influence how the color is perceived. Gloss and semi-gloss finishes tend to make the orange appear more vivid and saturated, which may be important for maximum visual impact in branding. Matte finishes can soften the perceived intensity and may slightly mute the color. When specifying PMS Hexachrome Orange for a marketing or display environment, base your sheen choice on the viewing distance, type of substrate, and your desired visual emphasis. Always evaluate physical samples in your lighting to confirm the final appearance matches your expectations.

The safety and VOC (volatile organic compound) aspects for PMS Hexachrome Orange depend on the paint type, format, and application method you select. Always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the specific product you plan to use, as guidance for handling, ventilation, and protective equipment will vary. Follow all recommended safe use practices for brand installations or marketing displays using this color. If VOCs or specific safety standards are critical for your project, be sure to specify your requirements when ordering.

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 Hexachrome Orange 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.
