Pantone™ PMS 876 C

Pantone books are standardized color references and are critical for specifying colors like PMS 876 C. However, the appearance of PMS 876 C paint can vary from the book standard due to sheen, gloss level, and the type of surface painted. The metallic effect in PMS 876 C makes it especially sensitive to finish and lighting. For the closest possible result, always test the paint on the actual material and view it under the lighting conditions where it will be used before final production decisions are made.

PMS 876 C can be made in both interior and exterior paint formats. When selecting, consider where the finished piece will be installed. For projects with outdoor or high-exposure conditions, select a paint labeled for exterior use to ensure performance and durability. For indoor displays or brand installations, interior paint is usually appropriate. Confirm the requirements of your use case before ordering to ensure the best visual result and long-term performance.

Safety practices for PMS 876 C paint depend on the specific product format, such as spray paint or liquid paint. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the product label. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with your order for important guidance about ventilation, protective equipment, and safe handling. Use every product in accordance with its guidance and make sure anyone applying the paint has access to relevant safety information.

To achieve the best result with PMS 876 C, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, oil, and any loose particles. If necessary, lightly scuff or sand glossy surfaces to promote adhesion, being careful not to damage the substrate. Wipe the area with a lint-free cloth and allow it to dry before applying paint. For critical or high-visibility areas, test the paint first on a small section to confirm compatibility and appearance.

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 876 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 876 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.
