PMS 7425 C is a Pantone Matching System color recognized for its strong, rich magenta-red appearance. As part of the Pantone PMS collection, it is widely used for applications where precise visual branding is critical. The vibe of this color is bold, vivid, energetic, contemporary, and commanding, making it suitable for design contexts requiring color impact and consistency.

PMS 7425 C appears as a dark magenta-red with a pronounced chromatic intensity. The color exhibits a cool red undertone, showing subtle hints of purple depending on lighting conditions. The qualitative hue angle is near red, with increased chroma producing a bold, saturated impression. The color has a relatively low LRV of 13.84, indicating it is noticeably dark and absorbs more light than mid-range reds or lighter magentas. PMS 7425 C has strong saturation, contributing to its suitability for visually driven placements. The color may show some finish sensitivity; gloss or satin finishes will amplify vibrancy, while matte finishes may reduce perceived chroma.

PMS 7425 C works well in environments that demand a confident, vivid accent or primary branding color, especially in controlled lighting settings. For most accurate appearance, evaluate large-format paint samples in final lighting and finish. The low LRV means that the color can appear substantially darker on large surfaces or in low-light settings. Coverage may require additional coats compared to less saturated reds due to its high chroma. Similar colors may vary in undertone or lightness, so confirm selection with physical samples before large-scale application; subtle differences can become pronounced in finished projects.

Similar colors:
PMS 7426 C: Slightly darker and has a stronger purple/violet undertone.

PMS 7635 C: Lighter and appears slightly less saturated, with a more neutral magenta-red quality.

PMS 200 C: Redder and warmer, with a lower chroma and less blue influence than PMS 7425 C.

Do I need a primer when using PMS 7425 C paint?

Primers are recommended for surfaces that are unpainted, highly absorbent, glossy, or where maximum adhesion and color uniformity are needed.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7425 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.
