Pantone™ PMS 2346 C

Pantone PMS 2346 C is a standardized color code that allows brands to specify an exact red across environments, displays, and marketing applications. By referencing PMS 2346 C, everyone involved in a project can reproduce the same vivid red, ensuring the brand looks consistent on signage, exhibits, and other physical installations. This approach helps maintain brand recognition and visual impact, regardless of vendor or material.

For PMS 2346 C, start with proper substrate preparation to ensure smooth, clean surfaces. Apply a suitable primer if substrate color could interfere with the final result. Because PMS 2346 C is highly saturated, plan on multiple coats for full coverage and avoid skipping recommended dry times. Apply each coat evenly and maintain a consistent application method to minimize visible roller or spray patterns. Monitor lighting as visual uniformity can vary under different conditions.

The texture of the substrate can change how PMS 2346 C looks. Smoother surfaces tend to produce a cleaner, brighter, and more vivid result, while rough or uneven textures can make the color appear darker, less uniform, or less saturated due to shadowing and diffuse reflections. For projects where brand consistency is critical, it is important to evaluate samples on the actual surface and finish that will be used before committing to full production.

If you are unsure which paint format or type is best for achieving PMS 2346 C on your chosen substrate, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your intended material, whether it will be used indoors or outdoors, and your desired finish. The team can help you select a suitable product to meet project requirements for brand presence, durability, and application method.

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 2346 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.
