Pantone™ PMS Hexachrome Black

Pantone PMS Hexachrome Black is specified in sign, display, and exhibit fabrication to ensure a consistent, professional look that aligns with strict brand requirements. Its deep, neutral black character provides strong contrast and visual control across fabricated elements. Using the PMS code helps different vendors and manufacturers target the same standardized color for a unified result. For accuracy, always sample PMS Hexachrome Black on the real substrate to verify appearance before running a full production batch.

For projects requiring formal sign-off, order a sample of PMS Hexachrome Black in the exact paint format and on the same substrate planned for your final build. Review the sample under the lighting conditions where the finished element will be displayed. This process minimizes surprises and supports approval by all stakeholders before you commit to a larger volume. Sampling is especially important for deep blacks like PMS Hexachrome Black, since finish and lighting can influence the color appearance.

Yes, MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors, including PMS Hexachrome Black, as paint. Using a licensed source is important because Pantone PMS colors are standardized references, and authorized reproduction helps ensure the closest possible match to the target color in branding, display, and marketing applications.

Primer requirements for PMS Hexachrome Black depend on the paint type, your substrate, and whether the surface is new, previously coated, or exposed to the elements. A primer is typically recommended for uncoated, porous, or glossy surfaces to improve adhesion and ensure even coverage. For best results, consult paint format guidance or reach out for substrate-specific primer recommendations before starting your project.

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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS Hexachrome Black. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS Hexachrome Black 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.
