Pantone™ PMS 7520 C

Pantone PMS 7520 C uses both a color name and a code to identify the exact color target. The code 'PMS 7520 C' is the standardized identifier that specifies one unique color in the Pantone Matching System. It is critical to use this exact code, including the 'C' suffix if required, when ordering to ensure you receive the intended color. The color name generally repeats the code but is sometimes shortened or presented differently by various vendors. Always provide the full code (for example, 'PMS 7520 C') to avoid mistakes and ensure brand consistency.

The sheen or finish you choose for PMS 7520 C can impact its perceived brightness and warmth. This color is relatively insensitive to finish variations, but glossier finishes may make it appear slightly warmer or more vivid. When selecting sheen for a brand or display application, consider viewing distance, lighting, and substrate. For close-up or customer-facing elements, lower sheens reduce glare, while higher sheens can highlight warmth and cleanability. Match the sheen to the visual intent required for your marketing or display project.

The safety and VOC (volatile organic compound) characteristics of paints matched to PMS 7520 C depend on the specific product type and formulation selected. Always review the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for details on safe use, personal protective equipment, ventilation, and disposal. Follow all manufacturer guidance and local regulations when handling or applying paint products for your brand or display project.

Ordering a standard PMS 7520 C match is appropriate when you need consistent, recognizable color for brand-facing displays, signage, exhibit components, prototypes, or marketing installations. If the Pantone code is specified in the brand guidelines, a standard match will help achieve the intended look across displays and materials. For projects where visual alignment with Pantone 7520 C is the main goal, standard matching meets most marketing and fabrication needs. For large or permanent installations, consider evaluating samples on your specific substrate and lighting conditions for approval.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7520 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.
