PMS 2313 C (Pantone PMS collection) is a yellow-green with a pronounced visual impact, situated between lemon and chartreuse in appearance. It is notably vivid, energetic, and bold, presenting a clean, technical, and brand-forward character. This color is recognized for its medium-light value, high visibility, and use in situations where strong color differentiation is needed.

PMS 2313 C appears medium-light in tone, with a light reflectance value (LRV) of 33.45.

The color shows a pronounced yellow-green hue, creating a distinctly cool, but bright, impression.

PMS 2313 C exhibits above-average saturation, supporting a vivid, high-energy look.

The undertone leans yellow, noticeable under most lighting conditions.

This color can be sensitive to finish; glossier finishes may heighten its vibrancy, while matte finishes may present it as softer and slightly muted.

PMS 2313 C is often used in exhibition graphics, trade show displays, and branded installations seeking strong color recognition.

The color is widely used in prototypes and marketing mockups to convey a specific, energetic brand personality.

PMS 2313 C works well where high visibility and a distinct, contemporary yellow-green are sought, particularly in branded environments and marketing displays. The color shows its most consistent appearance when applied over smooth, white primed surfaces, and may require additional coats to achieve full coverage due to its high chroma. It is important to check appearance under both target lighting and finish, as gloss can amplify brightness and saturation, while flat finishes may tone the color down. Compared to similar chartreuse or yellow-greens, PMS 2313 C is both highly saturated and moderately light, making it less muted than more olive-toned options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 2313 C

How does the finish or sheen affect the appearance of PMS 2313 C in real-world applications?

The finish you choose can significantly change how PMS 2313 C looks once applied. Gloss and satin finishes tend to make this yellow-green color brighter and more saturated, amplifying its energy. Matte finishes can soften the color, making it appear less vibrant and slightly muted. For high-visibility displays or branded spaces where strong color recognition is important, gloss or satin typically delivers the most impactful results. Always test your finish and lighting combination on your intended material before committing to a large project, as PMS 2313 C is sensitive to both.

Why can PMS 2313 C look different on plastics versus metals or paper?

PMS 2313 C can shift visually depending on the material being painted. Differences in absorption, texture, and reflectivity all affect the final appearance. For example, a smooth white metal may make PMS 2313 C appear crisper and more saturated, while a porous or textured plastic could make it look somewhat darker or duller. For best brand consistency, test PMS 2313 C on the actual substrate you plan to use and view it under your target lighting conditions before finalizing specifications.

What are the basic surface preparation steps for getting PMS 2313 C to perform well?

Good preparation is key to a consistent finish with PMS 2313 C. Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface to remove any oils or residues. Lightly scuff glossy or slick surfaces if appropriate for the substrate. Make sure the surface is dry, smooth, and free of dust. For saturated colors like PMS 2313 C, a white primer often helps both coverage and visual impact. Always perform a test spot before full application to check appearance and adhesion on your actual material.

Can I use a Pantone PMS 2313 C paint match for touch-up or repairing precise damage?

PMS 2313 C paint matches are intended for brand color consistency in new builds, displays, and prototypes, not for spot repair. If you need a touch-up-grade match for an existing item, send a physical part to have a custom match made directly from the item itself. Matching by Pantone code alone is not recommended for precise repair or restoration.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 2313 C?

We do our best to make sure you get your paint on time. Learn more about paint lead times at MyPerfectColor.
Can I use the Pantone PMS 2313 C for touch up?

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.
