Pantone™ PMS Cool Gray 10 C

MyPerfectColor works to match PMS Cool Gray 10 C as accurately as possible to the Pantone PMS standard using high-quality materials and processes. However, some variation can occur due to differences in materials, finishes, and application methods. While PMS Cool Gray 10 C is a neutral gray and generally less challenging to match than highly saturated hues, users should review a physical Pantone guide and a real paint sample under project-specific lighting whenever exact visual alignment is critical. For brand-facing, marketing, or display applications, the match will be visually very close, but absolute equivalence to all Pantone-licensed items cannot be guaranteed due to these variables.

PMS Cool Gray 10 C, like all Pantone colors, can appear differently depending on the surrounding lighting and finish. This particular color has cool, blue-violet undertones that become more pronounced under daylight or cooler light sources and may appear more neutral or subdued under warm, indoor lighting. For best results, evaluate painted samples of PMS Cool Gray 10 C in the lighting and finish your project will use before making final decisions, especially where exact brand color alignment is a priority.

The SDS for paint made in PMS Cool Gray 10 C depends on the specific paint product or type, not the color code itself. To locate the correct SDS, select the paint format you are ordering, such as spray paint or house paint, and consult the SDS library or product documentation provided. If you are unsure which SDS applies, contact customer support with your specific product details for guidance.

A standard spray can of paint matched to PMS Cool Gray 10 C generally covers about 20 to 25 square feet with one full, uniform coat. Actual coverage will vary depending on factors like surface texture, color of the substrate, and number of coats applied. Because PMS Cool Gray 10 C is a dark, low-LRV color, it may provide good hide over many surfaces, but always estimate conservatively and plan for extra material if you want a deep, even finish or if your substrate is porous or high-contrast.

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 Cool Gray 10 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 Cool Gray 10 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.
