Pantone™ PMS 2106 C

Pantone PMS 2106 C is a mid-tone, muted violet that may have lower hide compared to deeper or less chromatic colors. For most branding and display applications, achieving even and visually consistent coverage with PMS 2106 C may require multiple coats, especially over contrasting base surfaces. To ensure the final color appears correct and meets brand expectations, it is important to apply a suitable primer and allow adequate drying time between coats. Viewing a painted sample in the intended finish and lighting will help confirm you have achieved the desired result. Planning for extra material and time is recommended to account for possible additional coats when specifying PMS 2106 C for brand-facing environments.

When painting metal or powder-coated parts in Pantone PMS 2106 C, surface preparation directly impacts final appearance and color accuracy. Scuffing and thoroughly cleaning the surface ensures good adhesion and reduces risk of finish defects. The underlying coating or gloss level can influence how PMS 2106 C looks once applied. High-gloss backgrounds may amplify the bluish-violet qualities of this color, while very matte surfaces may mute its effect. It is recommended to test PMS 2106 C on a sample part in the target finish and lighting before production to confirm the results align with brand standards and project expectations.

Pantone PMS 2106 C is specified within the Pantone Matching System to uphold a standard color reference across all brand-facing materials. By using PMS 2106 C as a defined target, brands and fabrication teams can achieve alignment between displays, signage, and components, no matter the material or production method. This promotes a cohesive and recognizable brand presence, ensuring that the muted violet tone is perceived consistently in different installations and environments. Always use the correct Pantone code and evaluate finished samples in application conditions for best results.

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 2106 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.
