Pantone™ PMS 2278 C

PMS 2278 C is commonly specified during prototype and concept model development when it is important to evaluate the visual alignment of a brand color on real materials. For best results, choose a paint format that closely replicates the intended production surface, such as spray paint for plastics or metals. Consider ordering the sheen that most closely matches your intended finish, since matte and gloss can change how PMS 2278 C appears. Plan to review a sample or prototype under the lighting conditions of the final environment to confirm the color meets brand expectations before committing to production-scale orders.

To order paint matched to PMS 2278 C, select your desired paint format (such as spray paint, paint pens, or brush-in-cap bottles) and choose the appropriate sheen based on your project needs. Enter the quantity needed for your application. Double check the color code (PMS 2278 C) before finalizing your order to ensure brand alignment. If ordering for evaluation, you may want to start with a small quantity or sample size. You will have the option to review product details and finish before checkout, helping you avoid mistakes.

PMS 2278 C is a highly saturated yellow-green that may have lower hide than less chromatic colors. This means it can require more coats to achieve an even and opaque finish, especially over dark or uneven substrates. For best results, apply PMS 2278 C over a smooth, white or neutral base to reduce the number of coats needed. Plan for additional paint if working with highly textured or non-white surfaces. Evaluating coverage with a sample will help you avoid surprises in your full project.

The safety data sheet (SDS) for PMS 2278 C paint is specific to the product type and format you select, not the color code itself. After selecting your desired paint product for PMS 2278 C, locate the SDS by visiting the SDS section linked from the product page. Review the SDS for information on safe handling, application, and disposal of your selected paint.

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 2278 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.
