PMS 7497 C is part of the Pantone PMS system, widely used in branding, marketing, and industrial design applications. This color presents as grounded, natural, muted, and subtle, with a noticeably earthy vibe. PMS 7497 C offers a subdued green hue that sits between warm and cool, making it adaptable for brands requiring an understated, professional character.

PMS 7497 C displays a medium-dark appearance, with a light reflectance value (LRV) of 16.02. The color exhibits a muted, low-saturation quality, avoiding vividness for a more controlled, natural effect. It has an undertone that leans earthy and olive, balanced without pronounced yellow or blue dominance. The overall hue is neutral to slightly cool, influenced by its subtle green base. Finish can subtly affect this color’s perceived depth; glossier finishes may enhance green characteristics, while matte finishes emphasize its earthy quality.

PMS 7497 C works well in situations where branding or displays require an organic or grounded visual message. For environments with varied lighting, evaluate samples to confirm the color reads as intended, as shifts in light can accentuate olive or gray notes. Surface preparation should prioritize smoothness to maintain the subtlety of the color, as uneven textures can exaggerate its muted properties. Compared to similar shades, PMS 7497 C offers less visual brightness and more subtlety, which can help reduce visual fatigue in large-scale applications.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7497 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.
