Pantone™ PMS 2288 C

To accurately compare PMS 2288 C samples for brand approval, ensure that all samples are viewed under the same type of lighting and placed on consistent substrates. Wait until all coatings are fully dried and cured before making any color judgments, as appearance can shift during curing. Always compare the samples directly against an official Pantone reference to avoid issues caused by digital previews or assumptions. Consistency in these factors is critical for a reliable approval process.

PMS 2288 C is available as custom spray paint, as well as in paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other formats suitable for brand and marketing applications. The best format depends on your project needs. Spray paint is often chosen for large displays and even coverage, while paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are suited for detail work or small sections. If you need a particular type of coating, such as epoxy or urethane, check format availability before ordering to match the intended substrate and environment.

Pantone PMS 2288 C does not have a reliable conversion to most other paint company collections. Each brand creates its own unique palette, and vivid Pantone hues like 2288 C are rarely matched exactly by others. Using a non-Pantone equivalent may result in visible brand inconsistency. If accurate color representation is essential for your brand or display, always specify PMS 2288 C directly and do not rely on cross-brand references.

When selecting between matte and gloss for PMS 2288 C, consider the effect you want to achieve. Gloss finishes enhance the punch and saturation of this vivid green, making it stand out, but may introduce glare under strong lighting. Matte reduces glare and softens the appearance but may appear less bright. Review samples under your installation lighting and from typical viewing distances before finalizing, as both finish and ambient light have a major impact on how the color is seen in practice.

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 2288 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 2288 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.
