Pantone™ PMS 2144 C

Ordering Pantone PMS 2144 C as paint means you are requesting a paint product that visually matches the standardized Pantone PMS 2144 C color target. The PMS code defines a visual reference, not a specific formula, manufacturing process, or finish. This allows for consistent color communication across different materials and applications. It is important to note that PMS 2144 C defines the intended appearance, but not the specific gloss, base, or application method. If you need a particular finish or have exacting brand requirements, discuss these details and consider sampling before placing a full order.

For PMS 2144 C, it is best practice to order a small sample of the paint and use it for brand approval before moving forward with full production. Evaluate the sample on the actual substrate under the installed lighting conditions where the finished project will be seen. This helps confirm that the color, finish, and overall appearance meet brand standards. Sampling can help avoid costly mistakes and ensures that decision-makers approve the result before committing to a larger order.

Pantone PMS 2144 C is a highly saturated blue-violet color, which means it may require more coats to achieve full, even coverage, especially over contrasting base colors. The color's vibrancy can emphasize any unevenness in application. Plan for possible additional coats and always review product instructions for recommended priming and preparation. Testing a sample area is strongly advised to set expectations for the final look on your chosen substrate.

When applying PMS 2144 C to metal or powder-coated components, proper surface preparation is key. Clean and scuff the surface according to coating recommendations to promote adhesion and even appearance. Existing finishes and gloss levels can affect how PMS 2144 C appears after painting, sometimes altering perceived color and saturation. Always test a sample on your actual part to confirm the result before full-scale painting, particularly with vibrant and saturated colors like PMS 2144 C.

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 2144 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.
