PMS 568 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection and is known for its deep, saturated green character. The color conveys a technical, stable, and assertive vibe, with a clean and controlled appearance. Its notable darkness (LRV 10.09) and cool undertones lend it a refined, serious, and professional aesthetic suitable for environments where boldness and clarity are valued.
PMS 568 C presents as a deep, dark green, with light reflectance value indicating low brightness. The color has a distinctly cool tendency, leaning toward the blue-green side of the spectrum (hue angle near 184°). PMS 568 C displays moderate to high chroma, resulting in a strong, vivid appearance without being fluorescent. This color typically exhibits subtle blue-green undertones, giving it a crisp and technical edge. PMS 568 C may exhibit some sensitivity to surface finish; glossier finishes enhance its chromatic intensity, while matte finishes reduce saturation and deepen its appearance.
PMS 568 C works well in branded environments, display components, and prototype elements where a confident, saturated green is required. Due to its darkness and saturation, lighting should be considered carefully to avoid excessive absorption or muddiness, particularly in low-light conditions. The color shows a marked difference depending on gloss level, with higher sheens amplifying vibrancy. Compared to similar dark greens, PMS 568 C trends slightly cooler and more assertive; it does not lean toward neutral or earth tones. Surface preparation and application technique are important to ensure even coverage, as highly saturated colors often benefit from a uniform substrate and may require multiple coats for consistent appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 568 C
How should I compare PMS 568 C paint to my Pantone book, and what differences should I expect?
Pantone books provide a standardized color reference, but PMS 568 C paint can appear different due to variations in sheen, substrate, and lighting. Expect some difference in brightness and saturation, especially between matte and gloss finishes. To accurately evaluate PMS 568 C for your application, test a physical sample on the actual substrate and under site-specific lighting conditions before making final decisions.
What is the best way to use a sample of PMS 568 C in a brand approval workflow?
Order a small sample of PMS 568 C paint and apply it to the actual substrate you plan to use. Review the sample under the lighting conditions present at your installation site. This approach helps confirm color, finish, and coverage before larger production or installation, reducing risk and ensuring approval aligns with brand standards.
What should I consider when using PMS 568 C paint in pop-ups or retail environments?
For PMS 568 C in brand activations or retail pop-ups, prioritize durability and evaluate how the color appears under your actual lighting. Due to the deep, cool character of PMS 568 C, different finishes and lighting can change the look. Test a sample on the specific display material before large-scale application to confirm color impact and durability performance in your setting.
Should I choose matte or gloss for PMS 568 C paint in my brand application?
The choice between matte and gloss for PMS 568 C depends on your need for visual intensity versus glare control. Gloss finishes increase color saturation and punch, making PMS 568 C appear more vibrant, but may add unwanted reflections, especially under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce glare and deepen the appearance but can make the color look less saturated. Consider your typical viewing distance, lighting conditions, and brand intent when making your selection, and sample both options if possible.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 568 C?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 568 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.
