Pantone™ PMS 7496 C

To keep PMS 7496 C results visually consistent across multiple orders, use the same paint product type and sheen for each project or reorder. Always specify PMS 7496 C by code as your color reference, and if your team uses a specific Pantone guide or approval target, continue using that same standard for each order. Differences in product, sheen, or reference can affect how the color appears, especially in branded environments where color matching is critical.

The finish you choose for PMS 7496 C directly affects its appearance in branded displays. Gloss finishes boost depth and make the color look more saturated, but may create glare under lighting or in large areas. Matte finishes reduce reflections and help the color look more even, especially when viewed up close, but may slightly mute the green and make it appear less intense. Consider the lighting, viewing distance, and whether a non-glare or high impact look is required for your specific application.

For prototypes and concept models using PMS 7496 C, select a paint format that matches your material and how you need to evaluate the finished look. Spray paint is often chosen for ease and uniform color, but brush-in-cap bottles or paint pens may work for smaller areas. Always compare the painted surface against your PMS 7496 C reference under your intended lighting. Early evaluation and approval help catch differences before final production, supporting accurate visual brand alignment in your project.

To get even color with PMS 7496 C across big surfaces, use consistent application techniques and plan your coats. Apply the paint in controlled, even passes and allow proper drying time between coats. Extra attention is needed with low-gloss or matte finishes, as uneven coverage can stand out more. Checking the work under your display lighting before approval can help ensure you achieve a reliable, professional appearance for branded environments.

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 7496 C. 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 7496 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.
