Pantone™ PMS 2077 C

The Pantone color code 'PMS 2077 C' is the standard way to specify this exact magenta in the Pantone Matching System. The code ensures you are referencing the same target color across all materials and vendors. When ordering paint for PMS 2077 C, always provide the full code, including any suffix like 'C' (which stands for Coated), to ensure you receive the intended color and not a similar shade. Color names alone may lead to confusion or mistakes, as different colors can have similar descriptions. Double-checking the full code will help avoid ordering the wrong product and support brand consistency.

PMS 2077 C is a deep, highly saturated magenta with low lightness. As with many vivid Pantone colors, it may require more coats to achieve uniform coverage, especially over contrasting or porous surfaces. Using a suitable undercoat, such as a primer or a color base close to the target shade, can improve color uniformity and reduce the number of required coats. Planning for two or more coats is common to reach the full depth and richness of PMS 2077 C. Proper surface preparation is also important for consistent results in brand or display applications.

The Pantone book provides a reference standard for PMS 2077 C, but actual paint appearance may vary based on factors like sheen, substrate, and lighting. Paints can look glossier or more subdued than the printed standard, especially since finishes such as gloss or matte affect brightness and depth. To ensure your finished project aligns with your brand expectations, test PMS 2077 C paint on your specific material and under the actual lighting conditions. This helps identify any perceptual differences before a full production run.

The sheen you choose for PMS 2077 C can significantly influence its appearance. Higher sheens, such as gloss or satin, can make the color appear more vibrant and saturated, while matte finishes tend to mute the depth and intensity. Consider how the painted surface will be viewed (distance, angle), what substrate it will be applied to, and the intended visual impact for your brand display. It is also a good idea to sample different finishes in your actual lighting environment to verify that PMS 2077 C delivers the desired effect in your final application.

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 2077 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.
