PMS 7522 C is part of the Pantone PMS (Pantone Matching System) collection, widely referenced in marketing, display fabrication, and industrial design sectors. This color provides an understated, warm, grounded appearance with subtle neutrality and a technical, reliable vibe. With a moderate lightness and a desaturated yet earthy profile, PMS 7522 C is effective in environments where a natural yet controlled visual impact is desired.

PMS 7522 C appears as a medium-dark brown with an LRV of 23.91. The color presents a warm tendency, suggesting subtle orange or clay undertones. This color exhibits moderate chroma (saturation), appearing muted rather than vibrant. PMS 7522 C has a distinct earthy undertone that adds to its natural appearance. The color can be subtly influenced by different finishes, with glossier finishes emphasizing depth and richness, and matte finishes producing a softer, more subdued effect.

PMS 7522 C functions well in branding and display environments that need an organic, stable color identity without strong vibrancy. Evaluate its appearance under various lighting, as the warmth can increase in incandescent or warm LED settings. Compared to similar browns, PMS 7522 C maintains more subtlety and less red influence. When matching across materials, verify color in both target finish and lighting to ensure accurate reproduction. Coverage is generally consistent due to its moderate chroma, but proper surface preparation improves uniformity, especially on highly absorbent or textured substrates.

What should I know about using PMS 7522 C in a retail or pop-up environment?

Assess how the color appears under the intended installation lighting, as PMS 7522 C may show warmer tones in incandescent or LED lighting.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7522 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.
