Pantone™ PMS 2261 C

To accurately compare paint samples of PMS 2261 C for approval, view all samples in the intended lighting conditions and on the same substrate wherever possible. Make sure all coatings are fully dry and, when relevant, cured before final judgment, as wet or partially dry paint can appear different. For brand applications, always compare against a Pantone reference guide with the specified finish. Consistency in method supports reliable brand color decisions.

One spray can of PMS 2261 C typically covers about 20 to 25 square feet with one light coat on a smooth, primed surface. Actual coverage varies based on application method, surface texture, porosity, and the number of coats needed for uniform color. Since bright and saturated greens can have lower hide, plan for at least two coats for best coverage. Always calculate your total area, increase for texture or absorbency, and round up to ensure full coverage with consistent results.

Specifying a Pantone code such as PMS 2261 C provides a standardized color target that helps ensure brand consistency across displays, signage, prototypes, and marketing environments. Pantone PMS colors serve as a universal reference that enables vendors and fabricators to reproduce your exact brand color, supporting a cohesive and recognizable brand experience. Always use the PMS code to communicate color requirements for projects where visual identity is critical.

PMS 2261 C paint is custom mixed to match the Pantone reference, so it is made to order for each purchase. For this reason, returns are generally not possible. Carefully review your product type, sheen, and finish selection before ordering, and consider requesting a sample if you need to evaluate color and appearance under actual conditions. Planning ahead will help ensure your project achieves the intended brand result.

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 2261 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.
