Pantone™ PMS 2108 C

Changing the sheen of PMS 2108 C can make the color appear different, even when the color formula is matched to the correct Pantone target. A gloss finish will generally make PMS 2108 C look deeper and more saturated, while a matte finish can mute its vibrancy and make it appear lighter or flatter. When evaluating samples for brand consistency, always compare using the same finish you plan to use in your project. Mixing gloss and matte samples can lead to perceived color mismatches.

When using PMS 2108 C on metal or powder-coated parts, surface preparation is important for both adhesion and appearance. All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to remove oils and dust, and lightly scuffed if needed to promote adhesion. If painting over an existing gloss or powder-coated finish, the base color and gloss can affect how PMS 2108 C appears. Always test on a small or inconspicuous area or request a sample before proceeding with large-scale production to confirm the result meets your brand's expectations.

For pop-up and retail installations using PMS 2108 C, it is important to assess the color under the actual lighting conditions and finishes of the intended space. Lighting can significantly affect the perceived hue and saturation, especially with a bold color like PMS 2108 C. Due to the potential for heavy traffic and brand scrutiny, select durable coatings and consider ordering samples to review before full production. This helps ensure brand accuracy and long-term visual consistency in retail environments.

A primer may be needed when applying PMS 2108 C, depending on the surface you are coating, the paint type, and the project requirements. Primers help adhesion and coverage, especially on bare metal, previously uncoated surfaces, or when changing color dramatically. Review the requirements for your chosen paint type and surface. When in doubt, consult with your supplier or request primer guidance to ensure the best result for brand and marketing uses.

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 2108 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.
