Pantone™ PMS 2147 C

Pantone PMS 2147 C is intended as a target color reference for new applications rather than for matching existing painted surfaces or coatings. The Pantone PMS specification does not define sheen, substrate, or original application conditions, which can all impact appearance. As a result, PMS 2147 C may not provide a reliable match for touch-up on pre-painted products or components, leading to visible differences in color or finish. For best results, use Pantone PMS 2147 C for new branding, displays, or marketing applications where the Pantone reference is the defined color target, not for localized correction of pre-existing surfaces.

Ordering a standard Pantone match for PMS 2147 C is appropriate when your project requires the color as defined by the Pantone system, such as for brand-facing displays, signage, exhibit elements, prototypes, or marketing installations. In these scenarios, PMS 2147 C is used to represent a visual brand standard across new components and materials, where color alignment to the Pantone target is more important than matching a specific existing surface. This approach supports visual consistency in environments where the Pantone code is the reference for appearance, especially in new builds or fabrication.

Yes, it is important to confirm the full Pantone code, including any suffixes or series indicators such as the 'C' in PMS 2147 C, when specifying this color. Different suffixes can refer to different color standards intended for use on various materials or finishes. To ensure you receive the correct match, always verify the complete Pantone code and refer to your brand documentation or project requirements before ordering.

PMS 2147 C is a dark, saturated green that may require particular application attention for uniform coverage. For best results, apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy layer, allowing each coat to dry adequately before applying the next. This helps achieve even color, reduces the risk of drips or buildup, and produces a more consistent finish that aligns with the intended Pantone PMS 2147 C standard.

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 2147 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 2147 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.
